Resumen
SPACE IS A CENTRAL DIMENSION OF REALITY AND PLAYS A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SOCIAL RELATIONS. FOR THAT REASON, SPACE AND PLACE HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY SOME SOCIAL WORK SCHOLARS AS RELEVANT ISSUES. ACTUALLY, THE SPATIAL DIMENSION HAS BEEN CENTRAL IN SOCIAL WORK SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PROFESSION, EVEN IF IT HAS NOT BEEN THEORISED USING KNOWLEDGE FROM OTHER SCIENTIFIC FIELDS LIKE GEOGRAPHY, URBANISM, OR RURAL AND URBAN SOCIOLOGY. DESPITE THE ABOVE, DURING THE LAST DECADES, SEVERAL WORKS HAVE BEEN PRODUCED THAT ESTABLISH BRIDGES BETWEEN SOCIAL WORK AND OTHER SPATIAL-FOCUSED SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINES. THESE WORKS USE SPATIAL CONCEPTS SUCH AS ENVIRONMENT, PLACE, TERRITORY, AND RURAL, URBAN, GLOBAL OR GLOCALISED SOCIAL WORK, AMONG OTHER CONCEPTS. SARAVIA AND PANEZ SHOW GEOGRAPHICAL PATTERNS IN THEIR USE AND PROPOSE THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND THEM AS A GEOGRAPHICAL CONSTELLATION OF CONCEPTS IN WHICH SPACE IS THE MAIN CATEGORY.
