Each answer is a partition of geographic zones that meet geometric compactness and homogeneity in terms of the population descriptors of the economically inactive population. This work presents the basic theoretical aspects of the multi-objective methodology and an outline of a mechanism to analyze their relevance to support the selection of economic projects in the case of the Metropolitan Zone of the Toluca Valley (ZMVT), considering census socioeconomic data for AGEBs (Basic Geostatistical Areas). %K COP %U http://ijcopi.org/ojs/index.php?journal=ijcopi&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=103&path%5B%5D=124
