Abstract
ROSA, Paula Cecilia. How many, who are the inhabitants of the street?: Approaches to the numbers. Trab. soc. [online]. 2013, n.21, pp.563-577. ISSN 1514-6871.
This article focuses on the theme of the inhabitants of the street, that is, individuals and families who live and reside in the streets, plazas and sidewalks of the City of Buenos Aires today. It is intended to delve into issues rarely compiled and / or worked as the quantification of the phenomenon. This problem is addressed, generally by the difficulty of its implementation and the lack of reliable sources, since qualitative methodologies that provide a large contribution from their perspective of analysis. However, any phenomenon of this magnitude must-need-be quantified in order to take action. In this sense is that this article made an approach to the main approaches made to quantify and characterize this population in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. This attempt will be accompanied by methodological reflections on the methods (counts and surveys) implemented and the data obtained.
Keywords : Inhabitants of the street; Measurements; Methodological reflections.
