| Summary: | Social segregation can be understood from different dimensions, being the quantitative focus, one of the challenges still to be applied for the Latin American context. The research provides a set of theoretical-operational approaches for the creation of indicators of residential segregation, linking both territorial and social variables, in order to give a greater representation of the physical space that is studied. For this, a methodology based on the use of twelve indicators is applied which is grouped into three main axioms (proximity and basic services; housing and built space and social; and economic characterization - and its application in the Miraflores Alto, Viña del Mar, Chile. It is analyzed how these territorial and social factors determine different degrees, levels or forms of social segregation. The paper conclude that the application of neighborhood units fragments the territory, in contrast with the presence of primary educational establishments, as key equipment that dialogues and complements with the community. |
