Description
Summary:The article aims to calculate and spatialize a basic quality of life indicator by census sector for Bogota, according to the information available from the census developed in 2005. For this purpose, two methodswere used: a factorial analysis was performed to generate an indicator of quality of life in a microlevel scale of analysis, and then, a spatial analysis was developedto define whether there is a spatial correlation of the index. This work is part of a reflection about the waysof measure the quality of life and the importance of their spatialization on a geographical scale that allows to understand patterns of differentiation of social groups in urban space. As findings, they were identifiedgroups of poor quality of life located beyond the scope of the meso geographical level, and in other cases, wide diversity within that entitywas identified.
