Comodificación y segregación socio-ambiental en Peñalolén: Comprendiendo su estructuración territorial

Abstract

Analyzes and evaluates the expression of socio-environmental segregation in the town of Peñalolén, considering the district as a geographic scale that accounts for processes of exclusion in a context where the market has largely determined the present structure. In this regard, the distribution of socioeconomic groups shows that they are distributed in specific areas within Peñalolén and, on the other hand, indices of concentration and isolation alert regarding the configuration of zones that are concentrated and isolated for the same group , forming homogeneous sectors, unique and exclusive. Similarly, the distribution of vegetation cover shows a concentration of the highest rates in areas with concentrations of higher income groups. Thissituation reflects a process of commodification of the main factor of urban environment: vegetation. This process shows a deep connection with the recent urbanization of the community, driven by the installation of real estate projects that offer attractive conditions and used as environmental quality, consumer-oriented high-income, consolidating processes socio-spatial exclusion.
