SALAS-BOURGOIN, María Andreína. Propuesta de Índice de Calidad de Vida en la Vivienda. CDC [online]. 2012, vol.29, n.79, pp.57-78. ISSN 1012-2508.

The availability of statistics for the integrated study of certain characteristics of the Venezuelan territory and its population is limited by reasons associated to periodicity, as well as appropriate and detailed publication. In view of this situation, a dwelling quality index is presented as a proposal. It offers, by means of census data, synthesis information for: i) space differentiation analysis, ii) diagnosis for policy design, iii) monitoring of aspects related to Venezuelan life quality. It is with the aim of promoting reflections and discussions about how to deal with the mentioned restraint, in order to study one of the components of life quality, that this proposal, based on census data, is presented.
