Abstract
La presente investigación abordó la problemática de la caminabilidad de mujeres en barrios en pendiente, en el caso de estudio Agüita de la Perdiz, Concepción. Responde a la pregunta ¿Cómo puede el urbanismo feminista contribuir a mejorar la caminabilidad en barrios en pendiente? La hipótesis proyectual sugirió que el urbanismo feminista puede ofrecer consideraciones de diseño urbano que favorezcan la caminabilidad, basándose en las experiencias y estrategias de las mujeres residentes.
Los objetivos incluyen caracterizar el espacio público del barrio, analizar cómo estas condiciones influyen en la caminabilidad de las mujeres y relevar criterios de diseño que favorezcan la caminabilidad. La metodología utilizada comprende técnicas de etnografía urbana y entrevistas semiestructuradas, permitiendo una comprensión profunda de las experiencias de las habitantes y las características del espacio público.
Los resultados muestran que la infraestructura actual del barrio, con veredas estrechas y deterioradas, y falta de iluminación, afecta negativamente las experiencias de caminabilidad de las mujeres. Se identificaron estrategias cotidianas utilizadas por las mujeres para sobrellevar estas deficiencias, como la elección de rutas mejor iluminadas y el uso de barandas en las escaleras. A partir de estas estrategias, se proponen consideraciones de diseño del espacio público para potenciar la caminabilidad.
Las conclusiones destacan la necesidad de integrar estas consideraciones en políticas públicas y proyectos de urbanización, con el fin de promover una ciudad más inclusiva y accesible para todas las personas.
The current investigation addressed the problem of women's walkability in neighborhoods on a slope, focusing on the case study of Agüita de la Perdiz, Concepción. It answers the question: How can feminist urbanism contribute to improving walkability in neighborhoods on a slope? The project hypothesis suggested that feminist urbanism can offer urban design considerations that favor walkability, based on the experiences and strategies of resident women. The objectives include characterizing the neighborhood's public space, analyzing how these conditions influence women's walkability, and identifying design criteria that favor walkability. The methodology used includes urban ethnography techniques and semi structured interviews, allowing for a deep understanding of resident's experiences and the characteristics of the public space. The results show that the current neighborhood infrastructure, with narrow and deteriorated sidewalks and lack of lighting, negatively affects women's walkability experiences. Daily strategies used by women to cope with these deficiencies were identified, such as choosing better-lit routes and using handrails on stairs. Based on these strategies, public space design considerations are proposed to enhance walkability. The conclusions highlight the need to integrate these considerations into public policies and urbanization projects to promote a more inclusive and accessible city for all people.
