ORDONEZ BARBA, Gerardo. Tijuana faced with the social confinement imposed by COVID 19: habitability of homes, urban environment and economic conditions of homes. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.78-79, pp.303-349.  Epub 12-Feb-2021. ISSN 1665-0565.  https://doi.org/10.32870/eees.v28i78-79.7209.

The main objective is to present the results of an exploratory study in which a questionnaire was applied on the habitability conditions of homes and the urban environment in the face of social confinement caused by COVID 19 in Tijuana. It is assumed that the effects of the main measure of containment of the pandemic, the “stay at home”, are more harmful in households that reside in houses with worse living conditions and less consolidated urban environments. The questioNNAire included, in addition to the dimensions that are traditionally used in the study of habitability, various items on the implications of confinement in homes by concentrating activities that are normally carried out outside it, such as work or educational activities, as well as their impacts on the economic conditions and problems of families. The results show that, although the habitability conditions of the homes studied in Tijuana are mostly acceptable, the confinement has shown greater negative effects in homes of smaller dimensions and located in popular neighborhoods or that were identified as priority due to their degree of social vulnerability to COVID 19.
