• The present qualitative study sought to identify and comprehensively explore the interactions, the identification of rhythms, barriers, limitations, desires and interests of PWD in the production of their social spatialisation in the El Codito sector. By using some Participatory Action Research tools the study describes the marginalized situation of PWD in El Codito sector, Bogotá, Colombia. As a place on the margin (Shields, 1991) El Codito sector allow the identification of a double marginalization suffered by PWD: a marginalization by being habitants of El Codito and by being PWD. Discussions on the virtual and social spatialisations are presented in this study to refer to the exclusionary situation of disability in a low income community such as El Codito sector. The objectives of this study were to identify how PWD interact in their social spatialisation according to their rhythms of life; characterize and identify the elements that PWD distinguish about their social spatialisation; and recognize the limitations and barriers of PWD in their social spatialisations.
