Abstract
The present report, aspires to integrate an approach that ties, according to the specific objectives of one more a ampler investigation, the space and material conditions of the spaces public in relation to the social capital of its users, by means of the empirical analysis of a case study: the park Garden of the Light of the Colony Gardens of the Moral, city of Leon, Guanajuato. For extension reasons, in this article the results corresponding to the analysis of the second variable only appear: Social capital. It is necessary to emphasize, that although an abundant theoretical development in relation to the concept exists, this one, has given rise to multiple discrepancies between its main authors. From a critical analysis, it has been adopted, the instrumental concept of the term, in which Pierre Bourdieu and James come together theoretical like Coleman; like thus also, the criteria of classification and valuation, proposed by Robert PutnamReferences
