La Metropolitanització del territori català: una anàlisi a partir dels espais de vida de la població

To carry out their daily activities, population moves for a more or less delimited
territory, with which he establishes a certain type of linking. For this
motive, the territorial behavior of the population is not due only to their assignment
in the place of residence, which loses protagonism.

Thus, the article intends to overcome this static vision of the relationships
between the population and the territory from the application of the concept
of space of life, described like the portion of territory where the population
carries out their daily activities. In this way, the aim is to draw the municipal
space of life of the population resident in Catalonia from their usual mobility
to identify the existence of functional areas, like an indirect indicator of the
degree of metropolitanization of the Catalan territory.
