FAVIER GONZALEZ, Lucía A.. The spatial dimension of the aging process in Havana. Rev Nov Pob [online]. 2018, vol.14, n.28, pp. 322-332.  Epub 24-Mayo-2019. ISSN 1817-4078.

Based on data from the Population and Housing Census of 2012, with the census tract as a unit of analysis and considering autocorrelation and heterogeneity spatial effects, this article addresses from the spatial dimension, the aging process in the census tracts of a part of the capital, without considering other economic or social factors. With the application of some techniques of the Exploratory Analysis of Spatial Data, it is intended to contrast the location of the population segment of 65 years and over, to know how it relates to the geographic space and to identify the type of distribution that characterizes it, as a way to promote differentiated decision making in the capital with a space support. It is verified that the aging process is not homogeneous within the municipalities of the capital and that there are fragmentations and polarizations. The 23.5% of the districts that cover the study area are aged, where the municipality Plaza de la Revolucion is the most critical in the province.

Palabras clave : Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis; census tract; spatial effects; aging.
