Abstract

The objective is to know the ways in which reality is constructed through the interaction between subject-symbols-space and its way of relating to the world from the symbolic ecology of space. For this purpose the semantic networks were used, with which the semantic representation of the city was located, by means of the words given by the subjects when asked to define city. Because the words obtained, are the basis of the representation of the semantic markers with which the subjects symbolically construct their habitat that structures their way of relating to the world.
