| Sumario: | The quantitative spatial analysis of the Socio-spatial Conditioning factors of Health (SCfH) is a theoretical-methodological approach that allows to define, from a geographical perspective, the spatial distribution of social vulnerability to diseases. Through the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), is possible to use methods of multivariate analysis that lead to obtaining the final result in a map synthesis. In Argentina, the database of the National Census of Population, Households and Housing allows to determine a basic set of variables that define dimensions of central analysis: Education, Economy, Poverty, Construction, Services and Equipment. The combination of these dimensions generate the map presenting the spatial distribution of the CSS of the Megacity Buenos Aires and the most critical area, showing its spatial inequality as a fundamental basis of the territorial planning with the intention of generating actions for the reduction of disparities. |
