Valoración de la vulnerabilidad integral en las áreas residenciales de Madrid

Abstract

The city, as an eminently human settlement, is a reflection of the economic, social and cultural diversity of its inhabitants; thus, we can find different kinds of life opportunities within a particular territory. These opportunities, however, are determined or limited by important boundaries related to neighbourhoods or spaces with specific characteristics. From this standpoint, the aim of this work is to define a bank of indicators, which will enable the assessment of integral vulnerability within established residential areas in the municipality of Madrid. The methodology is based on a statistical multivariable analysis in order to determine a set of synthetic indicators that will allow the delimitation of the areas encompassed by vulnerability. After applying it, it is then inferred that more than 80 per cent of the delimited cases are located out of Madrid's 'central almond', which exposes the outskirts of the city built during the sixties and seventies as the main context of integral vulnerability for the next following years. © EURE.
