Abstract

La Región Caribe colombiana padece de serios problemas en términos de condiciones de vida y de violencia. No obstante, esta situación no es homogénea a nivel intrarregional. En este sentido, el presente documento intenta demostrar la heterogeneidad interna de la región en cuanto a la distribución espacial de ambos fenómenos mediante técnicas de análisis espacial utilizando sistemas de información geográfica (SIG). Aunque se encontraron territorios en donde coexisten los dos fenómenos, los resultados muestran que una zona pobre no necesariamente es violenta, y viceversa. Asimismo, resulta importante mencionar que las zonas prioritarias para la ejecución de política pública varían en función del tipo de violencia estudiada y del método de análisis utilizado.
