Introduction: The classic conceptual frameworks have achieved
a partially effective explanation and action on mortality
due to traffic accidents (ta). New frameworks are needed for
its understanding as a social phenomenon and its socio-spatial
distribution, and would make effective the right to equitable,
safe and sustainable transport. Objective: To establish
the socio-spatial distribution of ta deaths in the Metropolitan
District of Quito (mdq) in 2013 and its determining processes.
Methodology: Through a multi-stage exploratory study: documentary
review, database analysis, file link and survey of a
relative of the deceased, ta mortality was analyzed for the mdq
based on the categories of critical epidemiology: “socio-spatial
segregation”, “social class” and “epidemiological profile”. Results:
Important differences were found in mortality by homogeneous
zone, rates of 7.84 and 18.82 per hundred thousand
inhabitants for the wealthy and deteriorated popular residential
zones, respectively; by social class, 58% of deaths occurred in
the poorer group; by gender, 81.5% of men died, and by age
groups, the mortality rate was 19.08 per hundred thousand inhabitants,
over 65 years of age. Conclusions: The distribution
of ta deaths is related to the segregation of space in Quito,
the livelihoods of social groups, their forms of work and consumption
(mobility). It is worth paying attention to types of
work that use motorcycles, as well as the social construction
of gender and the mediation of alcohol consumption patterns.
There is a need for participative construction of preventative
measures based on homogeneous zones, social groups and cultural
processes. |
