The departure of children, by neighborhoods in Valencia: higher density in Camins al Grao, lower in Algirós

VALENCIA. Starting this Sunday, April 26, the Government will allow the departure of those under 14. In the city of Valencia, this assumes that partial deconfusion will affect 107,317 boys and girls included in this group, which represents 13.49% of the city’s population, according to the 2019 Municipal Population Register of the Statistical Office of the City of Valencia. Among them, 31,862 are between 0 and 4 years old, 36,114 are between 5 and 9 years old and 29,341 are between 10 and 14 years old.

In order to monitor and detect the areas with the highest population density of children under 14 years of age, the Department of Transparency and Open Government of Valencia has created a interactive map in which the data by neighborhoods and their weight on the total population can be consulted, according to the 2019 municipal register and the Statistics Office of the Valencia City Council.

In contrast, the neighborhoods with the lowest proportion are Mauella (in Poblats del Nord, with 8.89%), Ciutat Jardí (in Algirós, with 9.64%) and The Carrasca (Algirós, with 10.28%).

The councilor of the bouquet, Elisa Valia, affirms that these data for the population under 14 years of age in the city, along with others such as those resulting from the COVIDValència tool, “must be interpreted and analyzed for municipal decision-making, especially in new scenarios such as that derived from the departure of minors to the streets from this Sunday. “

It is important, for example, “to analyze them taking into account the data of the mobility registered during the confinement, to anticipate reality and enable actions that guarantee the departure of minors and continue with the objective of containing the virus and meeting the needs of citizenship during confinement ”.

Valía states that “through tools of citizen participation such as the COVIDValència form we have direct information on the incidence of COVID19 on the day-to-day life of citizens. ” Some data that, in his opinion, “enrich the decision-making of municipal officials, which help to outline or adapt some of the measures and adjust them to diverse and changing realities.” The questionnaire has already been answered by more than 5,550 people in the first week since its launch.

In this sense, the councilor for transparency and open government points out that the data resulting from the COVIDValència tool “are being analyzed to provide the Municipal Operational Coordination Center (CECOPAL), as well as to the different areas of municipal management, of information adjusted to the reality of the city with which to improve decision-making. For this reason, it has invited citizens to continue participating with the collection of data, through the form that can be found on the page that the city council has created on Covid-19.

The association has participated in the interactive map Measure, which groups professionals and entities of different types in order to join efforts to obtain and use data in the service of social transformation initiatives. Thus, the platform allows building a space for technical exchange and collaboration aimed at improving the environment in many cities such as Valencia.

Like this, other digital initiatives are emerging in the wake of the health crisis. For example, Geomatic It has created another map that allows users to know how far they can move within a radius of one kilometer from their home, so that it allows them to know the mobility limitations they have due to the state of alarm without skipping government regulations.
