SARAVIA CORTES, Felipe Andrés y PANEZ PINTO, Alexander Esteban. Spatial Constellation of Concepts for Social Work: Environment, Place, Territory, and Landscape. Trab. soc. [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.2, pp.241-266. Epub 23-Feb-2023. ISSN 2256-5493. https://doi.org/10.15446/ts.v24n2.97954.
We developed a theoretical proposal that understands space as the central category of a spatial constellation of concepts, potentially valuable for social work. It considers four concepts: environment, place, territory, and landscape. We briefly described the utilization of each concept in the social work field. The results show contrasting patterns. The place concept is more utilized in the anglophone context, and the territory concept is more utilized in Latin America. There is no much literature that uses the landscape concept, despite its high explanatory and integrative potential. We conclude with some challenges that link the theoretical and political dimensions.
