Beschreibung
The basis of this proposal is the study of quality of life from an interdisciplinary perspective. This volume presents a set of contributions from different sciences that analyse the quality of life in Argentina. The contributions come from the social disciplines (Geography, Economics, Demography, History) and from the field of health (Nutrition, Medicine, Psychology) as well as the exact sciences (Statistics, Applied Mathematics). The purpose is to present various dimensions related to the well-being of the population, particularly in relation to poverty, human development, health, nutrition and morbidity.
Although there are works from different sciences associated with the object of study, they all have a geographic component based on cartography. Consequently, it is highlighted in the importance of a Geography as its territorial base allows it to study quality of life from a unique perspective where the map emerges as a fundamental descriptive tool. They are useful to diagnose the quality of life and its uneven spatial distribution, either through an index or different associated variables. Thus, the maps are fundamental to know the territorial configuration of the quality of life at the different scales of analysis, showing spatial inequalities and the areas where it is necessary to take measures to improve the population's living conditions.

Interdisciplinary perspective of the study of quality of life Extensive use of maps that show the variations of the quality of life in the territory of Argentina Use of different approaches to measure quality of life and associated variables
