La fragmentation socio-territoriale. Une nouvelle logique de fonctionnement pour le monde rural. Le cas de la Pampa argentine

Socio-territorial fragmentation. A new operating logic for rural areas. The case of the Argentinian pampa. — The various theoretical models of spatial dynamics were created at a time when the movement of people and goods did not change whole territories. Now the massive development of transport and communications is changing the representations and territorialities within the same local space. We are shifting from a territorial logic based on proximity to a logic that fosters networks. The rural areas of the Argentinian pampa have been so transformed by these changes, that a new model of territorial organisation is emerging — that of fragmented space.
