| الوصف: | This study evaluates socio-spatial segregation in Machala, Ecuador, analyzing socioeconomic and demographic factors that impact the quality of life of residents. It focuses on inequalities in access to basic services, urban dynamics, education, health and employment in different neighborhoods. The findings reveal a majority of young people, aged 10 to 39, with a low level of education, with only 10% having completed university studies. School dropout is mainly attributed to the need for employment. There are significant disparities in access to basic services, housing quality and urban infrastructure. These factors are evidence of segregation in social exclusion and lack of social integration. Machala faces challenges in terms of accessibility to quality services, which impacts the living conditions of residents in vulnerable neighborhoods. The study highlights the need to address these inequalities to ensure a more equitable and inclusive urban development, recommending the implementation of public policies to improve the quality of life and encourage social integration. |
