Abstract

On November 29, 2018, Plaza Guayarte opened its doors with the aim of promoting culture within the city of Guayaquil, in a disused sector, and considered “passing through” for university students: Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil, Universidad de Guayaquil, among others. The creation, inauguration and operation of this square, is what motivates the present investigation, because it has the purpose of understanding the meaning of public space, the use of it in Plaza Guayarte and the artistic proposal presented in its programming. For this, bibliographic research was used to define concepts about public space. With in-depth interviews with ten specialists and experts; the meaning in the practice of this public space, the artistic-cultural proposal and the communicative strategy will be complemented with their knowledge and expertise. These findings will contradict the criteria of young Guayarte users, in a discussion group and complemented with the data obtained by the participant observation technique. All these results are interpreted from the qualitative perspective, where, thanks to the analysis of results and multiple triangulation, conclusions and recommendations will be written as the main contribution of this research.
