    La Protección de Humedales en la Costa de Chile
    (UNESCO, ) Rojas Quezada, Carolina; Bergamini Ladron De Guevara, Kay Joaquín; Mallega Acevedo, Melissa; Stamm, Caroline Andre
    La pérdida de humedales costeros se ha acelerado desde el siglo XX en el mundo y en Chile. La costa, altamente vulnerable al cambio climático, es una zona de gran productividad, afectada por procesos de antropización, como la urbanización litoral y la turistificación, en la cual los humedales están experimentando rápidas dinámicas de cambio, con impactos negativos para la protección frente a marejadas y tsunamis, los servicios ecosistémicos y las rutas migratorias de las aves.Nuevas regulaciones e iniciativas de protección han sido aprobadas en Chile recientemente, como la Ley de humedales urbanos, el Plan Nacional de Protección de Humedales y el Derecho Real de Conservación para proteger, conservar y recuperar humedales, sumándose a instrumentos más antiguos como, por ejemplo, los Santuarios de la Naturaleza de la Ley sobre Monumentos Nacionales. El objetivo de este capítulo es hacer una revisión y reflexión sobre los recientes avances en la protección de humedales costeros en Chile, a través de los diversos instrumentos ambientales vigentes. A partir de una revisión de la situación de conservación de los humedales costeros chilenos, y de las leyes y regulaciones ambientales nacionales, se demuestra que las superficies de humedales costeros protegidos son todavía reducidas, pero que ha habido un avance considerable estos últimos años bajo el impulso de instrumentos de protección de los humedales en general, aunque no exista actualmente un instrumento específico para los humedales costeros. No obstante, a pesar de los avances, el país tiene todavía una serie de desafíos importantes para lograr una protección efectivay coordinada de los humedales costeros en materia de conservación, de planificación territorial, de evaluación ambiental, de participación ciudadana, de fiscalización y de cambio climático.

    Mapocho Wetlands Bioroutes: Itineraries Proposal and Participatory Records
    (Springer, 2024) Iturriaga del Campo, Sandra; Rojas Quezada, Carolina
    © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.This chapter presents a set of generative experiences that seek to value the Mapocho River and its wetland system in Santiago de Chile, based on the formulation of a set of itineraries and participatory records. These experiences were carried out within the framework of the research “Mapocho Downstream. Visual Atlas for the Revaluation of the Riverside Heritage and Landscape”, carried out by Mapocho 42K Lab UC between the years 2021 and 2023, led by the architect Sandra Iturriaga and integrated by the landscape architects Raúl Brito, Yohanna Carvajal and Aníbal Retamal. The main objective was to revalue the natural and cultural heritage of the Mapocho River in its downstream section, characterized by a condition of ecological corridor and riverside wetland. As part of the methodology addressed in the research, an exploratory and empirical experience was approached, which addressed the design, realization, and record of a set of itineraries and potential tours around the wetlands as generative experiences, which the research developed under the concept of Mapocho River Wetlands Bioroutes. These experiences were carried out under a participatory approach that links art and citizen science, in conjunction with local organizations and a collective of artists, with the aim of generating a tour experience that allows to know the value of the riverside wetlands from the interaction and perception of people with the environment and consider the value of these experiences for the potential implementation of tours in the wetlands. What is presented below is the conceptualization and methodology addressed to carry out these participatory experiences, and mainly the record and its systematization as the main methodological tool for verifying the value of the wetlands from the perception of those who carried out the experiences of the Bioroutes.

    Observing the Wetlands of the Huasco River, Chile. Co-creation of a Space for the Dissemination of the Environmental and Cultural Values of the Landscape
    (Springer, 2024) Arizaga, Ximena; Moreno, Osvaldo; Rojas Quezada, Carolina
    © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.The project presented seeks to describe the experience of an observatory project in the Huasco wetland, which in its essence is more than a built space, and, is based on the fact of observing together. The act of observing implies in this case representing the information in order to transmit it and correct it, together, with the inhabitants of Huasco. In this way, the Huasco Wetland observatory is a collective look at the wetland and is proposed, also, as an opportunity to rethink the city and its relationship with the territory. Wetlands are fragile spaces of enormous environmental wealth that provide ecosystem services to the inhabitants. Understanding them, studying them, and reconstructing the relationship of the inhabitants with these spaces is the first step toward their active protection.

    Urban Wetlands as Resilient Landscape Infrastructure—The Case of Llanquihue Green Infrastructure Plan, Chile
    (Springer, 2024) Moreno, Osvaldo; Rojas Quezada, Carolina
    © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.The urban green infrastructure planning approach provides an innovative conceptual and operational framework to face the current challenges of conservation and rehabilitation of urban wetlands in the context of disturbances and vulnerabilities caused by urban expansion processes, climate change and disasters. In this sense, landscape units and their components can be conceived as a potential structuring network for the city and the territory, contributing to an integrated planning of natural and anthropic systems at both spatial and functional levels, considering the relationship of their ecologies with urban infrastructure systems through nature-based solutions. The Llanquihue Green Infrastructure Plan—an applied research initiative presented in this chapter—addresses this conceptual framework to configure a landscape project based on the spatial and functional articulation of existing urban wetlands, transforming them into key elements of an infrastructure system designed to provide social benefits and ecosystem services to the city and its communities. Instead of “constructing” green spaces, with the high costs involved, the plan proposes the concept of “landscape activation” through the configuration of specific and delimited components designed to enable, equip and provide access to these areas, thereby promoting the efficiency of the public investment. The performance of these hybrid natural systems—related to the synergistic combination of ecological and anthropic components—contributes to the provision of socio-ecological functions and services related to risk reduction and adaptive capacity to climate change. At the same time, in the absence of public and green spaces, especially in vulnerable environments, it can contribute to the development of memorable places for urban living through the integration of ecologies, social programmes and multi-purpose infrastructures. From a strategic approach, this initiative is proposed as a complementary and guiding platform to feed the current urban planning instruments, as well as to generate alternative mechanisms and tools for the integrated management of landscape and public spaces, becoming a potential model to be applied in other cases of regional cities also characterised by problems related to the recovery and enhancement of urban ecosystems.
