Developing
Solution. According to the text of Diego Londoño García, "a neighborhood, is the primary socioeconomic unit of the urban environment, given that community and solidarity relations that generate behaviors with a sense of community" are established in it ". In a neighborhood, everyone’s cooperation must prevail, to seek a common good for society and in the event that there is danger, everyone helps to combat it, to ensure that communal security exists. A neighborhood is the essence of a city, since they make up a collective society established in a territory. According to Aldo Rossi, for social morphology.
“The neighborhood is a morphological and structural unit;It is characterized, by the way, urban landscape, certain social content and its own function;Where a change in each of these elements is sufficient to set the neighborhood limit ”. Each neighborhood has its own organization, its beliefs, cultures, customs, these characteristics create an identification of a neighborhood. According to Pedro Buraglia, “the neighborhood is an identifiable urban unit, an organized system of relations to a certain scale of the city and the settlement of a certain urban community. When several communities join in a territory.
It is determined as a neighborhood, since they share cultural, religious features. There are neighborhoods that are established in a private space, because they want to administer their own territory, have their own rules of behaviors, social, moral, they are currently known as closed units, they refuse to be part of the community that exists in the neighborhoodsPopular, means, under economic stratum. The neighborhood a place where we can meet and share with different people, can become more than just a part of the city where we are settled, a place where as an individual being helps us to integrate into community.
To be social and thus help get better well -being for all. However, the harsh reality that is lived in some marginal neighborhoods, where living conditions are not the most favorable, this is something of great concern. As is the example, of a very popular neighborhood in the city of Montería, Cantaclaro, this one in its beginnings was declared a human settlement, since people were looking for a refuge, product of the displacement caused by nature and armed violence, the resourcesthat the government has granted the inhabitants and development plans for decent living have not been enough.
Because security, sale of drugs in the sector, gangs and especially health problems continue to be suffered. The existence of gutters for the drainage of waters due to lack of sewerage, is a problem that today is still very present in this neighborhood, causing consequences such as the presence of insects, snakes, lack of hygiene that affect people causing them diseases andOther infections removing tranquility to the community, since the most affected are children preventing them from having fun and playing in the streets of the sector, it should be noted that the only ones in charge of improving these conditions is the government.
The letter written by Diego Londoño and discussed at different points of view, by authors carrying out said theme, the neighborhood. We can say that the neighborhood arises as a housing response to the concentration of the population that derives from urban growth. The neighborhood has existed since the creation of cities in its process of evolution and transformation. Each neighborhood of the city is due to a certain typology that is linked to the socio -economic stratification of its inhabitants and the characteristics of the social and natural context, although that typology can be assimilated to that of other neighborhoods of the same city.
A group of neighborhoods with similar typology can cause the identification of various homogeneous areas in the city that facilitate the compression of urban phenomenon in its entirety. Each homogeneous area will reveal special circumstances that characterize it in its different manifestations, such as social problems, which ultimately obey cultural conditions and socioeconomic stratification. In the city we find the term urbanization of institutional origin, which aims to specialize in socially homogeneous residential activities. The neighborhood has been evolving simultaneously with the city and society since the urbanization process of the rural population.
conclusion
This gives rise to the contemporary city in Latin American, to the appearance of urban industrial activities and the realization of infrastructure works that produce increasing demands for housing and services at the same time. Everything that arises in the text was applied in order to reflect on its neighborhoods and if it applies correctly what a neighborhood must establish by nature its inhabitants. In the text everything related to the neighborhood is found from its beginnings to today. If something is not working properly the person who represents his neighborhood can intervene to improve the situation. Since the city is created and distributed by several to meet their needs. It is living as citizens, that is, actively participating in life is to support, improve, promote and apply.
