Abstract

VELASCO, Andrés Enrique Miguel et al. Territorial structure of multicultural cities and urban health in Oaxaca, Mexico: A Bayesian analysis. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2021, vol.36, n.2, pp.445-491.  Epub July 30, 2021. ISSN 2448-6515.  https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v36i2.1952.

The article analyzes the influence of the territorial structure on health in the cities of Oaxaca. It has as hypothesis that this influence is manifested through urban functionality. It uses as a methodology the Bayesian approach to calculate the basic indicators, and network analysis to test the hypothesis. It concludes that the territorial structure can not be considered a factor that generates health inequity in the health condition, although it starts to stand out in big and medium cities that do not consolidate their infrastructure, equipment and services in Oaxaca.
