The delimitation was based primarily on the analysis of the temporal evolution of mortality and morbidity rates of this disease since 2000, by state, which allowed the identification of twelve entities that sustained the highest rates throughout twelve years, as well as the municipalities where the most relevant data of this disease were recorded during that period. Likewise, the twelve states with the lowest rates were delimited in this respect, to review which municipalities of these states presented the most significant mortality and morbidity data and to review in the subsequent analysis, the coincidences or divergences presented by both antagonistic spaces. In total, one hundred twenty municipalities were selected for the analysis of environmental factors that have been identified in various sources as potential sources of risk in the development of breast cancer. The variables analyzed are: contaminated surface waters, contaminated soils, contaminated groundwater, polluting industries and air pollution from thermoelectric plants and how they have been spatially and statistically expressed in the target municipalities. The methodology was based on the analysis of the spatial behavior of the variables indicated and was complemented with the application of the multiple regression models in the target or occurrence municipalities.

Concerning the presence of groundwater (aquifers) contaminated mainly with nitrates in concentrations greater than 45 mg / l; in the counts of spatial analysis, it is observed that in seventy-five of the target municipalities (65%), this variable is present.

This tendency has not changed in 2015. To explain this low mobility, factors such as home-to-station walking distance, station location and density, socio-economic variables, (income, education, sex, age, motive, automobile property), transshipment ability and waiting time were examined.</p><p>The analysis revealed: i) that subway users are willing to travel a distance of up to 800 meters in order to arrive to a train station, ii) the resultant buffer of the subway stations is considered an area of influence but it covers only 16.6% of the metropolitan surface area, iii) area known as “walkable” was also considered iv) density of stations is one third of the one at Tokyo and nine times less than at the municipality of Paris. These characteristics are a serious problem for a costly system that still influences the urban structure of the city. Mexico city's subway system register daily: 4.1 million trips as round trips and 2.2 millions one-way trips related to work, school, shopping or entertainment. This next step was to analyze the daily trips from the periphery of the city toward the center that reach up to 1.5 million users, and cause the saturation to seven of the available final stations. In this condition, we have the second hypothesis that there are different logics of decision for the subway use between the “walkable” and periphery citizens.</p><p>In the first place, citizens normally choose the subway over other means of transportation aforementioned, (collective taxi, private car, suburban bus or taxi) after taking travel time budget into consideration. In the second place, the amount of passengers who can finish their trips at the station was compared to the amount of passengers who cannot. The analysis showed how the deficient coordination of transportation added to the poor urban planning concentrating only shopping and study areas around the stations affect the population. Therefore, some subway passengers can finish their trips at the stations, while others have to, not just add another means of transportations, but also the walking distance and the waiting time. These issues are associated to the transfer times, “walkable” environment, urban planning and station facilities, such as moving walkway and elevators. Therefore, the users have four options: a) take the subway at least one time in the course of their trips b) choose another means of transportation; c) finish their journeys at the subway stations or d) add another means of transportation after the subway use. Then the logistic regression is applied twice to test the probabilities.</p><p>Through the first regression, the obtained value of pseudo R square of Negelkerke (0.38) shows that -contrary to other cities-, passengers use the subway in order to get to work (1","PeriodicalId":39866,"journal":{"name":"Investigaciones Geograficas","volume":"2017 93","pages":"Pages 158-176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.14350/rig.56661","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131056414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the profiling, it is noticed the exercise of combining the different layers selected for analysis, forming a two-dimensional model that allows us to appreciate the altitudinal gradient of the area with its biophysical components (vegetation and land use, soil science, geology and landforms highlights) with information environmental Services (ES).
