MAYORGA HENAO, José Mario  e  ORTIZ VELIZ, Jorge. Segregation and Inequality in the Access to Education, Culture, and Recreation Services in Bogotá, Colombia. Cuad. Geogr. Rev. Colomb. Geogr. [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.1, pp.171-189. ISSN 0121-215X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcdg.v29n1.73395.

This paper presents the main results of a Master's in Geography thesis written in the University of Chile, titled Residential Segregation and Inequality in the Access to Collective Education, Culture, and Recreation Services in Bogotá-Colombia. It carries out a critical discussion of the factors that influence the socio-spatial segregation of the population and their effects on accessibility to urban services faculties. On the basis of a territorial and statistical analysis, it shows how the characteristics of Bogotá's urban model have led to a strong correlation between spatial patterns of high socioeconomic segregation and low quality of life. This segregation reinforces the low-income population's negative conditions, deriving from unequal access to collective services, mainly education, culture, and recreation, which are spaces theoretically recognized due to the production of social capital and, therefore, of social integration.

Main Ideas: Research article that describes the high socio-spatial segregation of the population with poor living conditions in Bogotá, and the manner in which correlates to low access to the city's urban service facilities, which, in turn, reinforces their negative conditions.

Palavras-chave : accessibility; quality of life; culture; education; urban model of Bogotá; recreation; social segregation; collective services.
