Análisis Estadístico Multivariado de los indicadores de calidad de vida en la ciudad de Riobamba, año 2014.

Abstract

The purpose of the current research was to analyze the quality of life indicators in Riobamba during 2014 through multivariate statistical techniques. The study was carried out including the five urban parishes of the city. To collect the information, it was necessary to use surveys based on “Como vamos” city network model, the relevant information about the coexistence in the city was collected with the use of 110 open and closed questions divided into 17 opinion groups. The Qualitative and Quantitative variables were analyzed with the use of descriptive and statistical techniques, for this it was necessary to apply a multiple-correspondence analysis thus a life quality index was created for Riobamba, this permitted to measure the satisfaction of the city, the economic opinion, and the inhabitants’ appreciation regarding to poverty. The results of the univariate descriptive analysis show that the 40% of the population agrees that Riobamba is an appropriate city to live in, while 60% fells partially proud of the city. The people who live in Lizarzaburu and Veloz Parishes show a higher perception of poverty since they do not have their own house different than people who live in Maldonado and Velasco Parishes. Finally it is recommended to take into account this life quality index for similar researches resulting from updated information in order to create new indicators which permit to establish measurable and replicable parameters about the quality of life in Riobamba until a standard index is obtained. Key words: Quality of life Riobamba 2014, Correspondence Analysis, Indicator, Index.
