Habitability conditions for floods: the case of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, Mexico

MARCELINO GARCIA BENITEZ Saul Nucamendi Hernandez Omar Ávila Flores (2022, [Artículo, Artículo])

At present, there are changes in the environment that favor the presence of extreme climatic phenomena such as floods, this exposure implies that the populations of urban areas suffer effects on their material assets, which limits their capacity for individual and / or family development. Given the lack of local territorial planning, the establishment of colonies was allowed on the banks of the Sabinal river and its tributaries that present episodes of flooding during the rainy season (Sistema Municipal de Protección Civil, 2015).

 

The study evaluates the habitability conditions of the urban population exposed to flooding, the city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas is taken as a reference, since historically it is a recurring problem during the summer. The methodology interrelates geostatistical, spatial and cartographic databases with hemerographic information sources based on the review of the literature for the construction of the general index, determined in dimensions that group social, economic, educational aspects, availability of basic services, goods with those that count the dwellings and their accessibility, etc., on a geographical scale of Urban Geostatistical Areas (AGEB).

 

The results obtained generated an index on the distribution of habitability conditions by urban Ageb, they are interrelated with spatial data on floods and their relationship with Sustainable Development Goal 11 (ODS), which proposes to improve infrastructure conditions in cities and towns. sustainable communities so that the inequality originated among the population exposed to future extreme flood events that occur in the different areas that make up the city is reduced.

Sustainable urban mobility: An alternative for air pollution in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area

José Antonio Olivares Mendoza Clemente Hernandez-Rodriguez Luz Alicia Jimenez Portugal (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

The objective of this paper is to evaluate whether the low-carbon transport strategy (subway, rapid transit bus system -Macrobús-, trolleybus, and shared bicycles) implemented in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area (AMG) from 2000 to 2019 improves air quality. Sustainable urban mobility is the movement of people in cities in a way that generates the least impact on the environment. We analyze three actions of government intervention in the same sense. This is the first study for Guadalajara, the third-largest city in Mexico. We use robust Newey-West estimators and endogenously model pollution disruptions using the Bai Perron approach. Our results suggest that this type of public transport reduces SO2, NO2, O3, and CO, though we find an increase in PM10. We also identified that when the service of the first line of the Bus Rapid Transit was consolidated CO, O3 and PM10 decreased. In addition, the improvement in the connectivity of the bus network with the subway means that only NO2 diminished. Finally, the entry into operation of the shared bicycle program reduced PM10, while increasing O3 and in SO2. In short, sustainable urban mobility is an alternative to making the transit of people efficient, while mitigating air pollution in the AMG.

Shopping centers at zmcm. The companies, location and production of a neoliberal urban space

Dante-Guillermo Celis-Galindo (2021, [Artículo, Artículo])

This work aims to analyze different aspects of shopping center at the Metropolitan Zone of Mexico City as location, opening year and developer company. Also it will identify diverse characteristics, economic and political phases in the country as well as the role of the development companies and shopping centers as a producers of a neoliberal urban space. This paper presents the way shopping centers importance has growth and how it had become in a neoliberal city characteristic; with this the characteristics of these urban works are visualized and related with their construction companies and local governments which has caused the transformation of the city. After conducting a census, with more than two hundred shopping centers, the study was delimited to those with the greatest significance by size, location and developer. At the beginning of the paper, the characteristics that shopping malls should have for the realization of this work are mentioned. In a first section an approach is made to the theoretical elements of the city and the shopping center and therefore identifying the developers that most  nfluence this process; the second section addresses the characteristics of places by location and the characteristics that urban planners have depending on the area where they are; the third section discusses the years of opening, the squares and relates to government administrations and the economic characteristics of the country; and finally, a tour of the urban regulations in Mexico City and its latest modifications is made.

DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS (DS) AND CITIES: A SOCIOECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE FOR THE MEXICAN CASE

Jorge López Martínez Déborah Féber González (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

This article presents an analysis of the proportion of the population that lives in the 20 top cities of Mexico. Population that suffers from moderate to severe Depressive Symptoms (DS) in relation to urban and socioeconomic factors typical of urban territories and comparing them with people living in rural or non-urban environments that suffers DS. To check this, we generated the Complex Index of Socioeconomic and Urban Conditions (CISUC), based on the Mind the GAPS framework, a model that relates the susceptibility or prevention of mental illness in cities based on urban factors, we also used socioeconomic indicators that exist in Mexican cities. For the construction of the ICCSU database, we used data from the National Health and Nutrition Survey in the years 2006, 2012 and 2018-19 and the data of the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness, A.C. and National Institute of Statistics and Geography in the same years. The results obtained from CISUC were reinforced with the use of a panel data model. The findings that we obtained reveal that there is a more important correlation between cities and people who suffer from moderate to severe DS than in rural areas, a condition that intensifies with the socioeconomic conditions of the population, for example, their socioeconomic stratum, their gender, and present urban marginalization. This allows to generate future discussions about other types of diseases such as anxiety, depression, stress, loneliness, and schizophrenia for large population groups. The panel model yields a lower goodness of adjustment, due to the lack of more time points, however, it points out that improvements in socioeconomic and urban conditions slightly reduce depressive symptoms.

Calidad del agua de un lago urbano en la Ciudad de México (2015-abril 2017)

Ana Cecilia Tomasini Ortiz MERCEDES ESPERANZA RAMIREZ CAMPEROS Lina Cardoso (2017, [Memoria de congreso])

El lago urbano estudiado, está situado al oeste de la Ciudad de México. La problemática de la eutrofización del lago se agudizó y el lago presentó algunas características del estado de hipertrofía por su someridad y circulación limitada, falta de estratificación, regímenes de nutrientes y oxígeno no balanceado y productividad muy alta, tomando como parámetro concentraciones de Clorofila a. Por tal motivo, después de haber monitoreado el lago durante 2015 y hasta marzo de 2015, se adaptó una planta piloto de coagulación-floculación alimentada con agua del mismo lago para el retiro de algas.

Estimación hídrica teórica de plantas en zonas urbanas: estudio de caso "Vertical Farm"

Jorge Flores Velazquez JUAN MANUEL ANGELES HERNANDEZ (2018, [Ítem publicado en memoria de congreso])

La gestión integrada de recursos hídricos es un proceso que promueve la gestión y el desarrollo coordinados del agua, el suelo” y demás recursos para potenciar su uso “sin comprometer la sostenibilidad de los ecosistemas vitales”. En la zona metropolitana de la ciudad de México habitan más de 22 millones de una población apostada en aproximadamente 8000 km2, lo que implica una densidad de habitantes de las más altas del mundo que ha ido absorbiendo la zona rural por la urbana. Frente a ello, se han puesto en marcha tecnologías disruptivas con el fin de atender la transformación del sector. Pero, además, implica gestión del recurso mediante tratamiento de aguas residuales, reciclaje del agua, cosecha de lluvia y de gestión de la demanda. En este trabajo se expone la viabilidad en la implantación de estas tecnologías, sus ventajas y requerimientos desde el punto de vista hídrico.

Urban stories and representations in the cultural memory of the Main Square of Tunja, Colombia

Leonardo osorio (2021, [Artículo, Artículo])

The relations between history and memory in the urban space inherited from the Main Square of Tunja, Colombia, are questioned during the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century, and the monumental, urban and architectural representations related to the processes of independence and revolution that impacted on the foundation of the Colombian state. The model of inquiry is inductive and qualitative, and involved the integration of historical and historiographical sources that were subjected to processes of analysis, reflection, and explanatory synthesis. As a result of this work, the narratives of the changes and prevalences that characterize the urban heritage of this foundational environment decisive for the understanding of urban and cultural history in Colombia are presented.
