HERNANDEZ-HERNANDEZ, Vladimir y DE HARO-DE LEON, Liliana. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN URBAN HIERARCHY AND PEDESTRIAN INJURY COLLISIONS IN CIUDAD JUÁREZ, MEXICO. Hacia promoc. Salud [online]. 2014, vol.19, n.2, pp.81-94. ISSN 0121-7577.
Objective: To assess the spatial and statistical relationships between commercial land uses and pedestrian injury collisions in Ciudad Juárez. Method: Cross sectional study using data from the Municipal Transit Police from 2008 to 2011. Increased risk intersections are identified by spatial analysis. A socio-economic database and Spearman correlation were constructed to know the relationship between the variables: ran over and concentration of productive activities. Results: Eight traffic analysis zones were obtained. The results indicate that there is more risk of being hit where there is a higher density of employment in services and shops, as well as for over 60 years old people. Conclusions: There is a high risk of collisions in areas with high intra-urban hierarchy associated with land uses with a vocation to shops and services. The density of collisions is higher along major urban roads.
