Abstract

This article reviews the international literature focusing on territorial disparities to identify key areas of focus through both a traditional and a big data approach considering a highly unequal country: Colombia. First, we use a traditional approach with a manual scan of the literature to provide a structured review and highlight areas of focus and the key findings. We then take a big data approach to identify gaps in the literature. Using the international literature on regional disparities as a point of reference, we identify areas that, compared with international literature, have been understudied in Colombia. We also point to areas that are guaranteed to be subjects of further research to contribute to a better understanding of the challenges related to regional development in Colombia and thus to better informed policy design. Este artículo revisa la bibliografía internacional centrada en las disparidades territoriales para identificar las áreas clave de interés tanto a través de un enfoque tradicional como uno de macrodatos, considerando un país altamente desigual: Colombia. En primer lugar, se utilizó un enfoque tradicional con una búsqueda manual de la bibliografía para ofrecer una revisión estructurada y destacar las áreas de interés y las principales conclusiones. A continuación, se adoptó un enfoque de macrodatos para identificar lagunas en la bibliografía. Tomando como referencia la bibliografía internacional sobre disparidades regionales, se identificaron las áreas que, comparadas con la bibliografía internacional, han sido poco estudiadas en Colombia. También se señalan las áreas que con seguridad serán objeto de nuevas investigaciones para contribuir a una mejor comprensión de los retos relacionados con el desarrollo regional en Colombia y, por tanto, a un diseño de políticas mejor informado. 本稿では、地域格差の研究において重点が置かれた研究領域を特定するために、格差が大きい国であるコロンビアについて検討する伝統的なアプローチとビッグデータアプローチの両方を通じて、地域格差に注目した国際的な研究論文をレビューする。はじめに、構造化されたレビューを実施し、論文を手動でスキャンする伝統的なアプローチを用いて、重点が置かれた領域と主な知見を明確にする。次に、ビッグデータアプローチを用いて、リサーチギャップを特定する。地域格差に関する国際的な論文を基準とし、それらと比較して、コロンビアにおいて研究が不十分な領域を特定する。また、コロンビアの地域開発に関連する課題のさらなる解明、ひいては情報に基づくより良い政策設計に貢献するために、今後の研究の課題となることが保証される領域を提示する。
