Summary

In this work, the author tries to analyse the functions fulfilled by the green areas for the town. She then tries to as certain which is its value within the personal and/or collective memory of the people who use it. From a practical as well as a theoretical point of view, the Casa de Campo in Madrid allows us to observe the negotiations of space in the institutional level, as well as the interactions between individuals and groups with common interests toward given areas within this "social green area". In this sense, this makes it possible to observe regular forms of balance or conflict, which are the result of this temporary and/or spatial coexistence in very concrete points of this green urban area. It also makes it possible to visualise power, leadership, hierarchy and individual conduct towards the concepts of private and public areas. Concretely, the author is interested in the forms of adjustment or conflict that take place between different groups and/or individuals in relation to their respective comprehension of the use and enjoyment of a common territory or sector.
