Abstract

Resumen: El objetivo de este trabajo es establecer el impacto del sistema bus rapid transit de Medellín, Colombia, sobre la calidad de vida urbana (CVU), medida como la contribución al bienestar de cada uno de los amenities disponibles en el lugar en que se reside. Para esto, se utilizan datos de cortes transversales repetidos, provenientes de la Encuesta de Calidad de Vida de Medellín de los anos 2010 y 2014, y de información sobre los atributos de barrio disponibles. En total, la investigación cuenta con 4.091 observaciones en el 2010 y 4.219 en el 2014. Para el análisis, se estima un modelo hedónico cuasiexperimental, y con sus resultados se construye un índice de CVU. El trabajo muestra que la puesta en marcha del Metroplús tuvo un efecto positivo y significativo sobre los cambios en la CVU en el periodo 2010-2014. La magnitud del impacto se refleja en los resultados en las diferentes zonas de la ciudad. Abstract: This paper aims to establish the impact of the bus rapid transit system of Medellin, Colombia, on the urban quality of life (UQL), measured as the contribution of the amenities available in each neighborhood to the welfare of its residents. To this end, repeated cross-section data from the Encuesta de Calidad de Vida de Medellín for 2010 and 2014 and information on the neighborhood amenities are used. As a whole, the research considered 4,091 observations in 2010 and 4,219 in 2014. Through the estimation of a quasi-experimental hedonic model, the amenities with significant coefficients were identified to calculate a UQL index. The findings suggest that the implementation of the Metroplus had a positive and significant effect on changes in the UQL during the period 2010-2014. The magnitude of the effect shows differences in the results across the urban area
