Abstract
En Costa Rica, al igual en otros países de América Latina, las dinámicas socioespaciales recientes han provocado que los grupos de población residentes de viviendas de interés social vean limitadas sus oportunidades de acceder a ellas en suelo urbano accesible y bien dotado. Por el contrario, han tenido que ir a vivir a las periferias residenciales; zonas homogéneas de poca variedad y complejidad, poco accesibles y con importantes carencias. Este estudio analiza la variedad urbana de dos ámbitos donde se han construido proyectos de vivienda de interés social en años recientes. Los datos, recopilados de fuentes institucionales y construidos a partir de trabajo de campo, permiten generar unos índices para evaluar la variedad socioeconómica de la población, la variedad del soporte físico y la variedad de usos y actividades en los contextos estudiados. Los resultados muestran que los complejos residenciales presentan importantes carencias en las diferentes dimensiones de la variedad urbana, y que los ámbitos donde se han construido ofrecen a sus habitantes limitadas opciones de acceder a servicios, comercio, transporte, etc., reafirmando las tendencias de exclusión socioespacial para los grupos de población más vulnerables.
In Costa Rica, as in other Latin American countries, recent socio-spatial dynamics reveal the exclusion processes that have generated land market trends. Population groups that have required social housing have seen limited opportunities to access them in accessible and well-endowed urban areas. On the contrary, they have had to go to live in the residential peripheries; homogeneous areas of little variety and complexity, little accessible and with significant deficiencies, seeing limited forms of access to wellbeing. This study analyzes the urban variety of two areas where Social Housing Projects have been built in recent years. The data, compiled from institutional sources and collected from field work, allow the generation of indices to assess the socioeconomic variety of the population, the variety of physical support and the variety of uses and activities in the contexts studied. The results show that the residential complexes present important shortcomings in the different dimensions of the urban variety, and that the areas where they have been built offer their inhabitants limited options to access services, commerce, transport, etc., reaffirming the socio-spatial exclusion tendencies for the most vulnerable population groups.
