Resumen:
Several two-dimensional studies in spiral galaxies show that HII star formation regions have a fractal distribution, with a fractal dimension of approximately 2.3. In this work, the fractal dimension is calculated through the box-counting method implemented in an R code. The innovation of the work lies in calculating the fractal dimension directly in 3 dimensions, without the need for the use of projections, using position and distance data from Gaia (Data version 2). The estimated fractal dimension for the regions studied in the Milky Way are 2.468 (M16), 2.126 (Orion Nebula) and 2.435 (RCW 38).
