Abstract
PEREZ-CAMPUZANO, Enrique. Segregación socioespacial en ciudades turísticas, el caso de Puerto Vallarta, México. Región y sociedad [online]. 2010, vol.22, n.49, pp.143-176. ISSN 2448-4849.
Although socio-spatial differentiation is a characteristic of tourist cities, it has generally not been studied. This article analyses the different patterns of socio-spatial segregation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Using different indices, the results show that there is significant segregation in terms of water supply and sewage infrastructure. Thus, the main conclusion is that government should be more involved in reducing social and spatial disparities.
Keywords : Puerto Vallarta; socio-spatial segregation; segregation indices; diversity index.
