Los usos del espacio público de la plaza de Santo Domingo de la ciudad de Loja, análisis desde la perspectiva de lo común

Abstract

In the face of the loss of the appropriation of the public space of the city of Loja, as the place of encounter and expression of citizenship and before, its melancholy contemporary situation, in which commercialization, publicity, privatization and its physical conditions in place of nothing and nobody's land, since it does not favor the development and grouping of society. The uses of the public space of the Plaza de Santo Domingo are studied from the perspective of "the common", I mean the latter, as what we share and that unites us, not only as a spatial question - physical of the square - but from that social dimension - society, since an architecture without people, is like an inert and abandoned factory. In this sense, under the premise of "the common" and with the help of the "deferential approach" established by Salazar and the parameters of "senses and communication" established by Gehl, social behaviors and physical characteristics are identified. Exist in the Plaza de Santo Domingo, in a very approximate way, so as to make a reflection of the uses and social relations in the square
