CASADIEGO-RUIZ, Nancy Mariela. Construction of a conceptual environment around the theme of urban transit. Revista Investig. Desarro. Innov. [online]. 2017, vol.7, n.2, pp.355-365. ISSN 2027-8306.  https://doi.org/10.19053/20278306.v7.n2.2017.6074.

Considering that the mindset transformation in regards to the knowledge and science during 20th-century, a change in scientific rationality that prevailed until the 19th Century was brought as a new epistemological paradigm questioning the positivist scientific model. The present article aims to reconcile points of view regarding the interaction among urban transit actors, using an approach that goes beyond contemplating mobility from the temporal-spatial aspect only. This article covers topics from philosophy, psychology and sociology in relation to the use of space in order to interpret behaviour changes linked to overgrowth tendencies in transit and conflicts generated in public space. The foregoing aims to promote an enriching reflection that considers different points of view for those who work in the education branch of Traffic Engineering, with a potentially interdisciplinary exploration that contributes to the creation of new didactic resources intended for achieving changes in the way of seeing the transit urban actors in pursuance of redefining norms and the promotion, application or research regarding the efficacy of actions oriented to control behaviour in urban areas.

Keywords : behaviour; education; norm; urban transit.
