A study of territorial inequalities Patricia Catalina Medina Pérez Héctor Jesús Tapia Fernández Ciencias de la Tierra COVID territory mortality inequalities social vulnerability Introduction The ongoing global pandemic due to the COVID-19 virus has had varying impacts on the quality of life in different regions. This article aims to identify areas of high social vulnerability in the municipalities in Hidalgo with information gathered in 2015.Methodology The social vulnerability index was calculated by using the principal component analysis technique along with geographic information systems to evaluate its relationship with COVID-19 fatality ratio. Variables were constructed based on information taken from the 2015 Intercensal Survey for municipalities.Results Two regions, one in the northeast and the other in the southwest of the state of Hidalgo, showed a strong relationship between social vulnerability and the fatality ratio.Conclusions The variables that best explain social vulnerability in the Municipalities in Hidalgo are those that contemplate population characteristics. The findings could be used in planning social actions so that they not only focus on health care services in order to reduce the impacts of the current pandemic and reduce mortality due to COVID-19 in the most vulnerable sectors in Municipalities in Hidalgo. 2022 artículo científico 0188-4611 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56975609011 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/569/56975609011/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/569/56975609011/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/569/56975609011/56975609011.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/569/56975609011/movil https://doi.org/10.14350/rig.60457 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=569 Investigaciones Geográficas (Mx) application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Investigaciones Geográficas (Mx) (México) Num.107 |
