This thesis is the result of an ethnographic study carried out in Mérida, the capital of the Mexican state Yucatán, between January 2018 and March 2019. Based on interviews about life stories, analysis of maps and images, I deal with some transformation processes in the urban space, as they are experienced by the mayan population living in the city. Based on the landscape category, taken as a record of everyday practices of living, working and moving on in the city, I think about the production of urban borders and the way they relate to the issue of ethnicity. For this, I analyze the way in which these practical activities relate to cultural meanings constructed throughout Mérida's history. In other words, I try to understand how social practices and cultural meanings participate in the production of lived and experienced urban environment, with its borders, conflicts, forms of racism and segregation.
