TORRES, Andrés et al. Quality of life and the city: Analysis of the level of development in Bogota usingthe basic unsatisfied needs indicator. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2013, vol.29, n.127, pp.231-238. ISSN 0123-5923.

This work evaluates which variables characterize the level of development and life quality of communities living in different districts in Bogotá. In order to achieve this objective, information from 19 of these communities was collected. This information mainly included the development index known as composite indicator of Unsatisfied Basic Needs (NBI), and all its simple indicators. Correlation and principal component analysis were performed on the data collected, in order to analyze the information expressed by both the simple indicator Deficient sanitary conditions and NBI. The principal conclusion of the present project is that for global characterizations of urban populations, the variable Deficient sanitary conditions is sufficient to classify a population. Nevertheless, the composite NBI is a more appropriate indicator if a more specific characterization of the population is required.
