| Summary: | This research paper, derived from research on urban imaginaries, pertains to the macro-project Culture and popular aesthetics in Boyacá, which is conducted by the Universidad de Boyacá’s Xisqua research group. The project explores urban imaginaries in the Boyacá province in order to inquire about the construction of the image of place in different cities. In this particular case study, the knowledge and opinions by a young population group which is deemed as capable of providing an accurate concept on the city were valued. Beyond analyzing why the city image is constructed in one way or another, it was intended to define the present imaginary of Chiquinquirá’s children concerning the place they live in, identifying at the same time both the town’s identity based on such an imaginary and the key elements shaping and materializing the children’s individual and group views. A theoretical basis including interlinked topics was considered to ground the study and guiding the practical process in akin-population schools. This process was carried out by employing research tools such as individual theoretical-practical surveys, general information surveys, and urban cartography. Collective mapping was also applied to strengthen the case study’s objectivity. The results grouped into three main areas (perceptions, culture, and spatiality) are expected to offer insight into the city spatial reading. |
