Prácticas de movilidad cotidiana y estructura urbana en el entorno periurbano: Lomas Coloradas y Portal de San Pedro, San Pedro de la Paz (Chile)

The aim of this article is to comprehend daily mobility practices in contiguous peri-urban residential areas that have different characteristics in terms of their historical origin, urban design and layout, socioeconomic level, and access to public transportation, using the areas of Lomas Coloradas and Portal de San Pedro in the commune of San Pedro de la Paz. From a quantitative analysis, the level of integration allowed by the urban fabric was analyzed comparatively using the Space Syntax method (Hiller et al., 1987) through the depthMapX software, to then identify the number of facilities and population density based on data from the 2017 census. Finally, mobility was studied by applying semi-structured surveys focused on supply. The results show that the type of urban fabric and its level of local integration lose importance in daily mobility practices when it comes to intercommunal travel. Thus, within the transport offer, just satisfying access to these areas does not ensure the reduction of the urban inequality observed in the daily mobility of people.
