The study focuses on the city of Tena, Ecuador, where rural local communities are in close proximity to urban areas, which could be considered as hybrid expansion nuclei. The coexistence of these urbanization characteristics presents significant challenges in terms of development and the quality of public spaces, highlighting the need for deeper research and comprehensive considerations to address these complex urban dynamics. The study was conducted through the implementation of focus groups, consisting of workshops with children aged 7 to 12. The workshops were structured in three phases: preliminary diagnosis, theoretical induction, and final consultation. The results showed that, in general, children in rural environments tend to feel safer in public spaces than in urban environments. Additionally, it was evident that a tactical urbanism intervention is an interesting tool for the majority of children, highlighting the relevance of these interventions to promote active participation of children in shaping more inclusive and sustainable urban environments.   El artículo aborda la importancia de los espacios públicos en el fortalecimiento de la cohesión social, destacando la necesidad de considerar las percepciones y experiencias de niños, además abordar la cuestión de género en relación con el uso y la apropiación del espacio público. El estudio se enfoca en la ciudad de Tena, Ecuador, donde se encuentran comunidades locales rurales en estrecha proximidad a zonas urbanas, las cuales podrían considerarse como núcleos de expansión híbrida. La coexistencia de estas características de urbanización plantea desafíos significativos en términos de desarrollo y calidad de los espacios públicos, subrayando la necesidad de una investigación más profunda y de consideraciones integrales para abordar dinámicas urbanas complejas. El estudio se llevó a cabo a través de la implementación de grupos focales, los cuales consistieron en talleres con niños de edades comprendidas entre los 7 y 12 años. Los talleres se estructuraron en tres fases: diagnóstico previo, inducción teórica y consulta final. Los resultados mostraron que, en general, los niños en entornos rurales tienden a sentirse más seguros en los espacios públicos que en entornos urbanos. Además, se evidenció que una intervención de urbanismo táctico resulta una herramienta interesante para la mayoría de niños, lo que destaca la relevancia de estas intervenciones para fomentar la participación activa de ellos en la configuración de entornos urbanos más inclusivos y sostenibles.   Facultad de Arquitectura, Urbanismo y Diseño 2024-12-06 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/pensu/article/view/44868 10.59047/2469.0724.v10.n13.44868 PENSUM; Vol. 10 Núm. 13 (2024); 117-132 2469-0724 10.59047/2469.0724.v10.n13 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/pensu/article/view/44868/47297 https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/pensu/article/view/44868/47298 Derechos de autor 2024 Karina Chérrez-Rodas, Carina Vaca-Naranjo, María Elizabeth Maldonado-Marchán, Mikaela Castro-Yar https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0
