La segregación residencial en tiempos de la "gran transformación neoliberal". una aproximación al caso de la ciudad de neuquén, 1991-2001

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the socio-economic residential segregation in Argentina's middle-income city. We stop in the case of Neuquén, an agglomeration located in Northern Patagonia, taking into account the period between 1991 and 2001. We propose a journey that has three distinct moments. In the first section, we describe the context that provided a stage for the phenomenon we want to explain. Then will make a brief summary of the idea of segregation, using the information provided by the national population censuses of 1991 and 2001. Finally, we present the main results obtained in the analysis of some of the socio-spatial inequalities that existed in the city during this period. Throughout this journey, in order to spatially represent many of the phenomena that the census data highlighted, we have developed thematic maps using GIS.
