Abstract

This research seeks to describe the uses and forms of ownership of the public spaces located in the area known as micro-centre, in historical downtown of San Salvador. To do so, the qualitative method was used. This area in the historical downtown of San Salvador presents a complexity of conflictive social relationships that has led to the degradation of public spaces, to which diverse urban conflicts and the scope of the actions of the local government add up, despite its multiple efforts to recuperate the area.
