Abstract

The present article has for objective broaden the discussion and give subsidies for the carry out analysis of a given urban network under the paradigm of Critical Geography, more precisely, with employment of the Socio-spatial Formation proposed by SANTOS (1977), derived from Economic Formation and Social proposed by Marx. One caveat to be made is that the socio-spatial Formation was structured with a view to an understanding of the spatial totality in macro scale (national scale), however, do not perceive it as a theoretical-methodological paradigm realized. As an example, we cite the professor Armen Mamigonian and other intellectual disciples his, which commune of the same theoretical perspective and for these intellectuals the socio-spatial Formation is and can be utilized to analyze both the nationally scale and regional.
