GONZALEZ, Wilson. THE SOCIAL DYNAMIC IN THE DEFINITION OF THE RURAL SPACE. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2011, vol.14, n.1, pp.93-99. ISSN 0123-4226.

The dynamics of the rural space, forces a new definition of the peculiar conceptual estate for its interpretation. In this sense, the concept of territory extends beyond the traditional political limits in order to meet their social constructions. This document results from the theory construction for the development of the research project: "The new rurality in the academic task of agricultural engineering students: a necessity in the current educational model?" carried out at the Pedagogical and Technological University of Colombia, UPTC, located at Tunja, Colombia. Deductive reasoning started with the analysis of the origin of the territorial approach to concentrate in the definition of the rural space, beginning with the participating actors association. The reasoning emphasizes the importance of the social links within the definition of territory and proposed the necessity of the incorporation of the social temporal dynamic for the interpretation of the rural space.

Keywords : Rural space; territory; context; social dynamic; social interaction; new rurality.
