CERON APARICIO, Eduardo. Everyday mobility and infrastructure in the configuration of non peri-urban rural space. Región y sociedad [online]. 2018, vol.30, n.71. ISSN 2448-4849.  https://doi.org/10.22198/rys.2018.71.a399.

The purpose of this article is to determine how the non peri-urban rural space in the Mexico’s central region, which is a highly urbanized context, is organized. Changes taking place within the framework of globalization promote greater openness and flexibilization in the territory, resulting in an increased mobility, which takes a great diversity of forms and expands everyday interaction spaces. In order to study this phenomenon, this article examines the usual movements of rural population, which allow for the definition of ties between rural space and its rural-urban entourage. According to the origin-destination analysis of displacements, the balance of territorial changes is negative as for mobility practices, as well with regard to the interweaving of new interaction networks with their urban environment. Interaction places have remained in the traditional municipal space, even when favorable physical conditions exist for displacement.

Keywords : new rurality; everyday mobility; infrastructure; not peri-urban rural space; living spaces; territorial configuration.
