Abstract
This article is based on the theoretical lectures held by the author at the Internationale Frauenuniversität (ifu-2000), cluster “City and Gender: Urban Sustainability”. Dealing with the same national context, it briefly explains some conceptual advances and results of two Research Projects (FONDECYT Projects 1980865/98 and 1000414/2000 by Fadda and Jirón), about the so-called triad of “Quality of Life/Environment/Gender”. One of its main objectives was to suggest a gender awareness methodology for solving problems of Quality of Life (QOL) in urban settlements.
