Abstract

This article is derived from the educational research, The Urban Social Image, Public Space and Citizenship whose unit of analysis is Calle de la Esponsión —Carrera 23— in Manizales. It interprets the social and institutional meanings of the use of public space based on a dialogical relationship with social actors in order to recognize their daily practices, conflicts and tensions, forms of intervention and social appropriation, their rationalities and meanings of the common use of public space as a scene of social and spatial integration of cities (inhabitants and visitors). The problem idea arises from the interest in deepening the enunciated category, without meaning with this claim that the proposed social inquiry has priority over the urban-physical-spatial characteristics of the city, but rather to demonstrate the importance of the complementation of these fields for the formulation of special plans for the design of public policy that lead to significant actions that claim the street as a public space for social relations and interaction between different groups. The method is qualitative because it allows the understanding of the meanings of the individual and collective interactions of the social and institutional actors and they are represented as essential human processes. The actors are thoughtful, with sufficient capacity to perceive the world. The method is interpretive, characteristic of the original environments and its analysis is inductive. Result: The social meanings about the urban downtown of the city of Manizales express particular forms of identity such as economic informality. It is a space of resistance that the subjects construct in their own situations of domination and social exclusion in a permanent search for survival, especially when the intention is the affirmation and defense of an urban space that has been denied to them. From the institutional/instituted, a culture of rights has not yet been generated in public decision-making in the aforementioned municipality, without citizen opportunities to access the debate scenarios on city issues that constitute issues of collective interest par excellence. Conclusion: The social design approach for the formulation of public policies for public space, that allow overcoming the tensions generated by the use of that space and that can directly or indirectly affect the vision that citizens have of the social image of the city, is proposed.
