| Resumen | Spatial interactions between individuals, society, and territory are crucial in shaping how space is navigated and claimed, resulting in unequal outcomes and occasional injustices. Soja’s model, comprising first, second, and third spaces, emphasizes the pervasive influence of spatiality and its role in generating injustices. His spatial justice theory highlights the importance of understanding how the trialectical operation of space influences injustices. However, further study is needed to determine how practical tri-spatial interactions cause spatial injustices, despite prior research addressing these concepts. This study delves into the impact of the interplay between the three spaces on the realization of rights and the emergence of barriers hindering individuals from benefiting from state initiatives that are designed to provide for them. Using Chile as a case study, specifically for three communes and three state programs, this study employs structural qualitative sampling, engaging with users and public managers. Through semi-structured interviews and emotion maps with 51 participants, this study sheds light on the spatial, trialectical, and dynamic dimensions influencing the enjoyment of rights and the creation of spatial barriers to their realization. The findings revealed three spatial configurations, exclusion, abstention, and desertion, stemming from the triadic operation of spatial barriers in the first, second, and third spaces. These configurations prevent individuals from realizing their rights, emphasizing the critical role of tri-spatiality in shaping effective rights realization. The study concludes by stressing the importance of considering these spatial factors in future policies and planning to address spatial injustices and enhance justice promotion. |
