The dialectic of space and justice is a theme that has emerged from classical cultures. Despite this, there is no established definition for the concept of spatial justice, and each author approaches it from different perspectives, scales and approaches, based on the surrounding environment. Therefore, the purpose of this paper lies in the analysis of spatial justice from the conceptualization of a referential framework developed by Asian researchers to find the applicability of this term in public spaces in Mexico. This paper arises from the literature review through digital media (academic search engines such as Google Scholar and Redalyc) to infer the components that highlight the experience of spatial justice in the country. The results show that there are components that, due to their magnitude and high impact, should be analyzed as primary factors, as in the case of security, privatization of public space and universal accessibility. It concludes with the generation of a conceptual framework that theoretically integrates the determining factors on a national scale for the analysis of spatial justice, suggesting as a follow-up to the line of research, the creation of new instruments applied to specific public spaces within the country.
