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. El presente artículo de investigación se deriva de un estudio de imaginarios urbanos que hace parte del macroproyecto “Cultura y estética popular en Boyacá”, el cual indaga en torno a los imaginarios urbanos en el departamento de Boyacá con el fin de conocer la construcción de la imagen del lugar en diferentes ciudades. En este caso específico se valoró el sentido común a partir de los conocimientos de un grupo poblacional joven, capaz de ofrecer un concepto real y veraz de ciudad. Se buscó definir el imaginario que actualmente tienen los niños de Chiquinquirá, con el objetivo de establecer la identidad de la ciudad a partir de tal imaginario e identificar los elementos clave que dan forma y materializan dichas percepciones, tanto individuales como grupales, más allá de indagar por qué se construye esa imagen de una manera u otra. Se consolidó una base teórica que abarcó temáticas relacionadas para fundamentar la investigación y guiar el ejercicio práctico en colegios con poblaciones similares a través de un proceso que incluyó herramientas como encuestas individuales con enfoque teórico-práctico, encuestas de información general y cartografías urbanas. Se incluyeron también mapeos colectivos que aplicados al caso de estudio facilitaron la objetividad investigativa. Los resultados se agrupan en tres ámbitos (percepciones, cultura y espacialidad) con los que se espera ilustrar acerca de la lectura espacial de la ciudad.  Universidad de Boyacá 2018-01-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares application/pdf https://revistasdigitales.uniboyaca.edu.co/index.php/designia/article/view/276 10.24267/22564004.276 Designia; Vol. 5 No. 2 (2018): Revista Designia | Enero - Junio 2018; 81-99 Designia; Vol. 5 Núm. 2 (2018): Revista Designia | Enero - Junio 2018; 81-99 2539-147X 2256-4004 spa https://revistasdigitales.uniboyaca.edu.co/index.php/designia/article/view/276/407 Derechos de autor 2018 Designia
