DIMENSIóN ESPACIAL DE LA MOVILIDAD COTIDIANA UNIVERSITARIA: EL CASO DEL GRAN VALPARAíSO

this research explores the need to identify the every day university students commuting patterns from their place of residence to the university and how this have been changing due to new dynamic influences within the urban metropolitan context of gran valparaiso, chile. these dynamic urban changes are mainly characterized by functional imbalances within the metropolitan urban structure, and a substantial increase in global accessibility to road infrastructure investment programs on its main urban corridors producing an uneven and increasing urban development. these changes studied from a specific mobile group as university students are, allowed this study to visualize new mobility trends, linked to a more centrifugal model that "externalizes" the students' residents to a metropolitan urban context, with social and urban-environmental consequences that this investigation is trying to explore.
