Análisis espacial de la segregación residencial de adultos mayores en la Zona Metropolitana del Valle de Toluca

This study is performed within of the Gerontological Geography, as analysis in order to know the movement that the older population effected within the ZMVT segregated residentially and agglomerate in a group where the neighboring town meets the same socio-residential properties. It is based on the application of two methods Geoeconometrics; Aespaciales indexes and spatial indexes, using the software´s of freely available GEODA and Geo Segregation Analyzer, this in order to argue, which method is most useful in the socio-spatial problems. The result shows that the older population is located in the center of the ZMVT. This pattern holds for all population centers of the neighboring municipalities of this ZM, being the new residential areas (regular and irregular) and the residential complexes the place of residence for new families or relatively young population. Likewise spatial indexes by applying spatial autocorrelation and Local Moran Index are what give more accurate, precise and localized results, so these are most useful in the analysis of this type of problem.
