Sumario:Approaching an issue as complex and multidimensional as residential segregation necessitates a wide range of methodological tools in order to empirically capture different aspects of the phenomenon. This article attempts to make a contribution in that regard by proposing a reliable and replicable methodological strategy for modeling patterns of residential segregation which explicitly contemplates its spatial dimension. The article begins with a review of the literature on residential segregation in Argentina, which is followed by a brief theoretical and conceptual discussion. Second, a critique of traditional methods of measuring residential segregation is offered, and a strategy to overcome some of their limitations is detailed, based on exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) techniques facilitated by geographical information systems (GIS) and key advancements in geostatistics. Lastly, a methodological exercise is carried out in order to demonstrate the use of the proposed analytical tool, and the article concludes with a discussion of some advantages and limitations of the approach, as well as some possible applications to different research questions in urban studies.
