“…En estas perspectivas subyace la necesidad de entender qué hace que la ciudad presente patrones diferenciados en diversos ámbitos. la definición más extendida de segregación socioespacial se refiere a la separación de grupos en el espacio (Massey y Denton, 1988;Madanipour et al, 2003;Clichevsky, 2000;Schnell, 2002;Madoré, 2004;Nkwenkeu et al, 2004;Hatz, 2008;Wong, 1999Wong, y 2008Ariza y Solís, 2009;Sabatini y Brain, 2008;Prevôt-Schapira y Cattaneo, 2008;Prevôt-Schapira, 2002;Sumour et al, 2008;Dawkins, 2004). En este sentido se percibe la segregación como un proceso que separa a la ciudad en unidades delimitadas, cada una de las cuales contiene en su interior una población homogénea que es diferente de la que la rodea.…”

“…Una de las cuestiones que han merecido mayor atención de los especialistas es la medición de la segregación. En gran medida tal interés deriva del incremento del poder de cómputo y de la disponibilidad de bases de datos relacionadas con lo demográfico y lo espacial (Massey y Denton, 1988;Feitosa et al, 2007;Wong, 1999Wong, y 2008Dawkins, 2004;Aguilera y Ugalde, 2007;Sui y Wu, 2006;Nkwenkeu et al, 2004;Sumour et al, 2008;Reardon y O'Sullivan, 2004;Reardon y Firebaugh, 2002). la caracterización es por tanto el primer paso, mientras la explicación del porqué sigue en desarrollo.…”

La segregación socioespacial es un tema recurrente en disciplinas como la sociología y la geografía; sin embargo ha sido poco tratado en la literatura especializada en México, quizás por su falta de anclaje teórico claro o por la escasez de datos específicos para medirla.En este trabajo se presenta una aproximación a la temática con especial atención en la construcción teórica y empírica en los países desarrollados y en las posibles implicaciones para los estudios sobre ciudades mexicanas.AbstractEven though, sociospatial segregation is a common topic in sociology or geography, in Mexico there are few studies on the topic in Mexico. This can due to the lack of a clear theoretical background of the concept and/or the lack of specific data for measure it. In this paper an approximation to the concept is presented, specifically to both the theoretical and empirical construction of the concept. Also, a research agenda for the Mexican cities is presented.

Abstract:The life space of populations is materialized by the habitat. This habitat spreads with the population increase. In the urban area, the transformation of the habitat is sometimes accompanied by problems like, segregation, risks.., raising the problem of the zone planning. The case of fire risk in the city of Yaounde is mentioned here and calls for an analysis, in a context that clarifies on decision making for problems of zone planning.The strategy of approach here is to determine steps of phenomenon analysis, to describe the fire risk in its evolution while unveiling the derived information, which can characterize the urban area; an application is made to the city of Yaounde.At the end of this survey, the elements of definition and characterisation of the fire risk in urban area follow by characteristics of the city zones of Yaounde, taking account fire risk and measures to remedy them have been done.
