An example of “posetic” approach applied to the Argentinian context

In recent years, many approaches were applied to analyse cases of urban deprivation in relation to a specific country. Argentina can be considered as a case of deeply fragmented urban reality; using an aggregative method we could risk to alter the veracity of the study. In this paper, the non-aggregative quantitative method of the POSET is proposed, with the intention of making up for the methodological defects that the application of an aggregative method would imply with regard to the study of deprivation phenomena. We focus our attention on material and social deprivation. The aim of the study is to provide an explanatory tool about the Argentinian urban context in the different areas of the country, as well as a starting point for broader political assessments.
