Avaliação dos serviços públicos domiciliários em Cartagena de Indias (Colombia)
Resumo
O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar a qualidade dos serviços públicos domiciliários na cidade de Cartagena de Índias (Colômbia), e seus efeitos no nível de satisfação de seus habitantes. Para isso se aplicou a técnica de Mínimos Quadrados Parciais (PLS) aos dados sobre a percepção da qualidade dos serviços públicos domiciliários (energia, água e esgotos, telefonia, internet e gás natural), obtidos a partir de uma pesquisa de opinião aplicada a uma mostra representativa de 250 famílias dos 15 bairros de Cartagena de Índias (especificamente adultos responsáveis pelo pagamento dos serviços públicos domiciliários), utilizando uma Amostragem Aleatória Estratificada. Os resultados apresentam fortes correlações entre as percepções de qualidade dos cidadãos e sua satisfação com relação aos serviços domiciliários, bem como entre as percepções de qualidade e a satisfação geral; esta última, relacionada com a avaliação de todos os serviços públicos recebidos pelos moradores da cidade, sem importar seu gênero, idade, nível de formação ou estrato socioeconômico.Downloads
