Social capital and urban mobility dynamic agents of the sustainable territory

Abstract

This article provides an analysis of social capital and urban mobility as dynamic agents of sustainable territory in the city of Montería. The research was developed under the quantitative approach and the descriptive transectional methodology, using descriptive statistics to process the data collected through the questionnaire applied to 300 inhabitants. From the results obtained, it can be highlighted that Montería has valuable natural capital for its citizens, who value the physical capacity of the territory in the face of its extraordinary biodiversity in plant and animal species, but it requires an equitable urban planning model that integrates social, cultural and economic capital with this nature. It is concluded that, the citizen inhabits spaces in which he acts from his knowledge, capacities, competences and values with which he manages to satisfy his daily needs; a being that forges social capital with healthy habits with the environment and with another being or beings that weave the social fabric; as well as, with the various activities that are gestated in the territory, which mark the dynamics of urban mobility through the processes of accessibility, vitality and physical morphology of the city. In short, it is this social capital that makes urban mobility possible and both complement each other to lay the sustainable foundations that support territorial sustainability.
