| Sumario: | Peri-urban spaces constitute complex and changing border territories with respect to the city, which express the spatial and temporal transition between rural and urban space through certain articulations and tensions. The aim of this work is to analyze the socio-territorial processes with incidence in peri-urban spaces, taking the case of the municipality of Esteban Echeverría, located in the southern zone of Buenos Aires Metropolitan Region, Argentina. The methodology includes the observation of satellite imagery, the processing of data through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and interviews with qualified informants. Results and discussion are based on the analysis of quantitative data on the area occupied by the various urban and rural land uses in the period 2004-2022. Observed changes in land use are interpreted as indicators of the following socio-territorial processes: dispersed, fragmented and segregated residential expansion; consolidation of industrial and logistics areas; loss of areas of intensive primary activities; and aggravation of negative urban externalities and urban-environmental problems. The work closes with some recommendations on territorial policy for local administration. |
