In the pursuit of improving the living conditions of urban inhabitants, various attempts have been made in Latin America in the planning and management process. However, few have done so in an integral manner, considering the diversity of actors involved in this process. In this sense, the concept of quality of life, based on its apprehension of the subjective and objective dimensions of reality, provides an innovative way of diagnosing, assessing and proposing alternatives to improve the living conditions of men and women in these areas. Based on the findings of the research project "Quality of Life and Gender", conducted in the Community of Pudahuel in Santiago, Chile, the article explains the theoretical and methodological processes used to analyze quality of life in low-income settlements. It illustrates the way in which the perceptions of quality of life can be translated into indices and it refers to the perceived differences between men and women. It intends to manifest why the planning and management processes must recognize, amongst other, the gender differences. This paper first introduces the conceptual background relating the triad of quality of life, urban environment and gender. This theory is then translated into an operative methodology that combines quantitative as well as qualitative techniques to evaluate quality of life. It then explains the cross-analysis of the various objective and subjective factors affecting men and women's quality of life in the specific case study. These factors are then converted info quality of life indices, which are suggested to be used both by local authorities and by the urban residents themselves in the planning management process. |

The Case of a Neighborhood Located in Santiago Evaluación de la calidad de vida desde la perspectiva bifocal de “medio ambiente-género”. El caso de un barrio en Santiago Fadda, Giulietta Jirón Martínez, Paola Bilbao, María de los Ángeles In the pursuit of improving the living conditions of urban inhabitants, various attempts have been made in Latin America in the planning and management process. However, few have done so in an integral manner, considering the diversity of actors involved in this process. In this sense, the concept of quality of life, based on its apprehension of the subjective and objective dimensions of reality, provides an innovative way of diagnosing, assessing and proposing alternatives to improve the living conditions of men and women in these areas.

En los procesos de planificación y gestión de las ciudades de América Latina, se han hecho variados esfuerzos por mejorar la calidad de vida de sus habitantes. No obstante, pocos de estos procesos han enfrentado el tema de una manera global y considerando la diversidad de actores involucrados en el mismo. En este sentido, el concepto de calidad de vida, basado en la aprehensión de las dimensiones objetivas y subjetivas de la realidad, representa una vía innovadora para el diagnóstico, la evaluación y la proposición de alternativas para mejorar las condiciones de vida de hombres y mujeres en las ciudades. Utilizando algunos resultados preliminares de la investigación "Calidad de Vida y Género", este artículo expone los procesos teóricos y metodológicos utilizados para analizar la calidad de vida en asentamientos urbanos de bajos ingresos. En el artículo se explica la forma en que las percepciones de la calidad de vida fueron traducidas a índices y se hace referencia a las diferencias existentes al respecto, entre las opiniones de los hombres y las mujeres. De este modo, se pretende poner de manifiesto porqué los procesos de planificación y gestión deben reconocer, entre otros aspectos, las diferencias de género. Inicialmente, se hace referencia al marco conceptual correspondiente a la tríada "calidad de vida/medio ambiente urbano/ género". En segundo término, este marco teórico se traduce en una metodología operativa para evaluar la calidad de vida, la cual articula técnicas cuantitativas con otras cualitativas. En tercer lugar, se expone el cruce de datos, aplicando los factores objetivos y subjetivos que inciden en la calidad de vida de hombres y mujeres en el caso estudiado. Por último, se explica la conversión de estos factores en indicadores de calidad de vida. Estos indicadores serán propuestos tanto a las autoridades locales, como a los propios residentes, para que sean considerados en los procesos de planificación y gestión.
