Abstract

The proliferation of betting shops in Spanish cities is causing a heated social debate in response to the undesirable impacts that businesses of this kind can have. As a result, associations and social movements have emerged to try to stem their expansion and, at the same time, regulations have been introduced to prevent the uncontrolled opening of this type of premises. The limitations set out in the legislation include minimum distances between betting shops and schools. In order to understand the spatial dimension of this phenomenon and to find out the extent to which these businesses comply with the regulations in force, in this paper, we study the distribution of betting shops in the city of Madrid and their proximity to each other and to schools. The results reveal certain areas of the city with a high density of betting shops and with schools with high exposure to these businesses. Likewise, results show the significant number of businesses that would have to close (81%; n = 416) if the current moratorium on betting shops that opened their doors before the current legislation came into force did not exist.

投注站的地理分布及其与学校的距离:马德里市(不)遵守法规的情况。
西班牙城市中投注站的激增正在引发一场激烈的社会辩论,以应对此类业务可能造成的不良影响。因此,各种协会和社会运动应运而生,试图阻止投注站的扩张,与此同时,西班牙也出台了相关法规,以防止投注站的无序开设。法律规定的限制包括投注站与学校之间的最小距离。为了了解这一现象的空间维度,并找出这些企业在多大程度上遵守了现行法规,我们在本文中研究了投注站在马德里市的分布及其与学校和投注站之间的距离。研究结果表明,该市某些地区的投注站密度很高,而学校与这些行业的接触面也很广。同样,研究结果表明,如果没有现行法律对在现行法律生效前开业的投注站实施的暂停令,将有大量投注站不得不关闭(81%;n = 416)。
