Resumen
MAYA-JARIEGO, Isidro y HOLGADO, Daniel. Living in the metropolitan area: correlation of interurban mobility with the structural cohesion of personal networks and the originative sense of community. Psychosocial Intervention [online]. 2015, vol.24, n.3, pp.185-190. ISSN 2173-4712. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.psi.2015.09.001.
This study analyzed the metropolitan lifestyle with a representative personal networks survey of the population of Alcalá de Guadaíra (n = 403), in the urban environment of Seville (SW Spain). A factorial analysis with density, centralization, number of cliques and the number of components allowed differentiating two dimensions of variability in personal networks related to cohesion and fragmentation of the network structure. The frequency of interurban travel plays a decisive role in the development of a metropolitan lifestyle, and is associated with a lower structural cohesion of personal networks and with some moderation in the original sense of community. Based on the results, we question the hypothesis of community decline in metropolitan contexts.
