本文从空间的角度探讨了美国两个州--索诺拉州的诺加莱斯和亚利桑那州的诺加莱斯--的北美自由贸易协定（NAFTA）的公平问题。1994年协定实施后，墨西哥边境社区受到贸易影响最大。安博斯诺加莱斯（两个诺加莱斯）是连接墨西哥西北部与美国和加拿大的跨境运输走廊的主要枢纽，两个城市都受到与贸易有关的交通的影响，包括墨西哥出口导向型工业产生的危险材料和有毒废物的移动。作为这项分析的第一步，我们分类和地图的住宅区在安博斯诺加莱斯应用社会环境脆弱性指数。然后，我们定义了现有的危险区的边界和它们与这两个城市的这些地区的重叠。最后，我们将危险区内的居民区与危险区外的居民区进行对比，以探讨当地和边境地区的社会不平等模式。
Using a spatial perspective, this article explores the equity dimension of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in Nogales, Sonora and Nogales, Arizona, two of the U.S.-Mexico border communities most impacted by trade after the implementation of the agreement in 1994. Ambos Nogales (Both Nogales) is a major hub within the cross-border transportation corridor connecting northwestern Mexico with the United States and Canada and both cities are subject to intense trade-related traffic, including the movement of hazardous materials and toxic waste generated by export-oriented industries in Mexico. As a first step in this analysis, we classify and map residential areas in Ambos Nogales applying an index of socio-environmental vulnerability. We then define the boundaries of existing hazard zones and their overlay with these areas in both cities. Finally, we contrast residential areas within the hazard zones with those outside to probe for patterns of social inequity both locally and across the border.
