Influencia de los servicios urbanos básicos en el valor del suelo de la zona periurbana de Quito (2023)

Abstract

Abstract:This research analyzes the influence of the provision of basic services on land value in the peri-urban area of the Metropolitan District of Quito (2023), using an econometric approach linear regression with a 1 km² geostatistical grid and official territorial information, with which a synthetic infrastructure index was constructed to evaluate its impact on land value. Linear regression models were estimated, and diagnostic and spatial autocorrelation tests were applied in order to verify the statistical stability and the existence of spatial dependence in land value. The results show a positive and statistically significant relationship between infrastructure provision and land value, although its magnitude varies according to the territorial context. Likewise, the presence of spatial dependence was confirmed, indicating that land value responds to interrelated territorial dynamics. The research provides relevant empirical evidence for territorial planning and land management in peri-urban expansion contexts.
