Opis:The relation between the environment and the elderly has been a very important issue for environmental gerontology. The objective of this article is to analyze how the physical and social structures that today constitute the public space used by and in which the elderly participates in Cerro del Cuatro, Jalisco, have been erected. A qualitative research was executed through the ethnographic method, semi-structured interviews, and participant observation of 8 selected cases. A thematic analysis, under the framework of Bourdieu's theory of social fields, was carried out. It was identified that the public space in which elderly participate has been constructed from a perspective of vulnerability, evident in the deficient characteristics of the spaces and services they have.
