El rururbano: espacio de contrastes, significados y pertenencia, ciudad de Bahía Blanca, Argentina.

Because of their boundary condition, rururban areas are subject to changes wrought by urban growth and suffer the impacts associated with the process of globalization. Both factors impose forms of appropriation and use of resources that require residents to change their daily routines and adopt new strategies. This article characterizes the functions, land use, and socio-spatial practices of Bahia Blanca rururban residents, as well as the impact of global-urban pressures and the sense of belonging in their willingness to change their lifestyle and the land use destination.
