Abstract

Santiago de Chile is characterized by intensive land use changes that are caused, among others, by a rapid expansion of residential areas. This results in new socio-spatial differentiation patterns that in some parts of the city cause a physical proximity between social groups with different levels of educational attainment. This paper analyses the relationship between the new spatial and social patterns for one specific study area in the municipality of Peñalolén, combining census data with the results of remote sensing analysis. Different types of urban structure for the specific case of study are proposed and elaborated, based on an object-oriented classification using very high-resolution satellite images. The result of the urban structure analysis shows a significant relationship with the socio-economic data from census, therefore, permits to conclude about social processes inside the city between census periods
