摘要:This paper aims at presenting people’s practices in the urban public space of Barcelona. It is about the way people find their space in places through its use. In other words, it describes the way people make relationships and links between each other and the urban space. We present a qualitative study from an ethnographic approach. It identifies three basic types of practices associated with the urban space: one type practice was connected to the work concept, another one to the idea of transit, and the last type to the tourists practice. These urban social practices show that the public space is used in a different way than it was designed for because the designers make public space for other functions. The urban social practices are linked with psychosocial processes such as identity, social cohesion, social norms and mobility. Furthermore, the practices presented in this investigation go beyond urban social law and the structure function of public space without altering coexistence and sociability.
