Abstract

The concept of Urban Social Identity seeks to understand how people identify and appropriate, build affections and memories associated with the places they travel. This research aims to reflect on this process by using the symbologies of the inclusion of residents of Therapeutic Residential Services in the cities they inhabit, in order to understand how they constitute their identifications. Fourteen participants answered the environmental autobiography technique combined with a semi-structured interview, analyzed in the light of thematic analysis. Cultural factors of the cities were unique, mediating the approximation of participants with the urban environment. Finally, logistics is highlighted as an essential choice for the structuring of the Service, as it favors or retracts autonomous incursions in cities.
