Abstract
We propose an analysis to identify the degree of spatial segregation among different communities of residents in Barcelona. We elaborate a theoretical setting as an extension of the monocentric framework, yielding the creation of mixed spatial units. Our idea is to assess the extent to which spatial segregation is connected to the urban spatial structure, the neighbourhood's status, and the spatial autocorrelation. As a novelty, we perform the empirical exercise by relying on an original database that gathers information for the period 1947–2011. Estimations emphasize that Barcelona increasingly shows a spatial segregation pattern that is based mostly on the gentrification of high‐skill workers. Se propone un análisis para identificar el grado de segregación espacial entre las diferentes comunidades de residentes en Barcelona. Se elabora un marco teórico que supone una ampliación del marco monocéntrico, lo que da lugar a la creación de unidades espaciales mixtas. El objetivo fue evaluar el grado en que la segregación espacial está conectada con la estructura espacial urbana, el estatus del vecindario y la autocorrelación espacial. Como novedad, el ejercicio empírico se apoya en una base de datos original que recoge información del período 1947‐2011. Las estimaciones ponen de relieve que Barcelona muestra cada vez más un patrón de segregación espacial basado principalmente en el aburguesamiento de trabajadores altamente cualificados. 本稿では、バルセロナの異なるコミュニティの住民における空間的セグリゲーションの程度を特定する分析法を提示する。混合空間ユニットの生成をもたらす、単一中心的なフレームワークを拡張したものとして、理論的設定を詳述する。空間的セグリゲーションが、都市部の空間的構成、ネイバーフッドの状態、空間的自己相関とどの程度関連しているかを評価することが狙いである。また、新たな試みとして、1947~2011年の情報を集めた独自のデータベースに基づく実証的研究を行う。推計結果から、バルセロナには、高度技能労働者によるジェネトリフィーケーションが主な原因となって、空間的セグリゲーションのパターンがますます認められるようになっていることが強調される。
