- ItemUrban restructuring of globalized territories: A charaterization of the organic growth of the cities of Chiloe, 1979-2008(PONTIFICA UNIV CATOLICA CHILE, INST GEOGRAFIA, 2013) Barton, Jonathan; Pozo, Ricardo; Roman, Alvaro; Salazar, Alejandro; CEDEUS (Chile)Chiloe archipelago has experienced profound socio-spatial changes since the early 1980s. The localization and progressive consolidation of the salmon industry changed the velocity and composition of the urbanization process in the province, generating new forms of spatial occupation. This can be seen in a new urban typology characterized by nine forms of occupation. This typology emerges from an analysis of the morphological evolution of five cities using GIS. The article concludes that the insertion of small and medium size cities in circuits, or networks of global capital takes place at a high velocity, leaving urban planning, a public function, behind. Consequently, urban planning ends up as an instrument of recognition of organic urban growth and not of regulation and growth orientation. This situation of differentiated velocities generates disequilibria that negatively

- ItemIntegrated Water Resource Management and Energy Requirements for Water Supply in the Copiapo River Basin, Chile(MDPI, 2014) Suarez, Francisco; Munoz, Jose F.; Fernandez, Bonifacio; Dorsaz, Jean Marc; Hunter, Christian K.; Karavitis, Christos A.; Gironas, Jorge; CEDEUS (Chile)Population and industry growth in dry climates are fully tied to significant increase in water and energy demands. Because water affects many economic, social and environmental aspects, an interdisciplinary approach is needed to solve current and future water scarcity problems, and to minimize energy requirements in water production. Such a task requires integrated water modeling tools able to couple surface water and groundwater, which allow for managing complex basins where multiple stakeholders and water users face an intense competition for limited freshwater resources. This work develops an integrated water resource management model to investigate the water-energy nexus in reducing water stress in the Copiapo River basin, an arid, highly vulnerable basin in northern Chile. The model was utilized to characterize groundwater and surface water resources, and water demand and uses. Different management scenarios were evaluated to estimate future resource availability, and compared in terms of energy requirements and costs for desalinating seawater to eliminate the corresponding water deficit. Results show a basin facing a very complex future unless measures are adopted. When a 30% uniform reduction of water consumption is achieved, 70 GWh over the next 30 years are required to provide the energy needed to increase the available water through seawater desalination. In arid basins, this energy could be supplied by solar energy, thus addressing water shortage problems through integrated water resource management combined with new technologies of water production driven by renewable energy sources.

- ItemCoping with Natural Disasters and Urban Risk: An Approach to Urban Sustainability from Socio-Environmental Fragmentation and Urban Vulnerability Assessment(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2014) Link, Felipe; Barth, Katrin; Harris, Jordan Michael; Irarrazaval Irarrazaval, Felipe; Valenzuela, Felipe; Welz, Juliane; William G. Holt; CEDEUS (Chile)Purpose - Cities have been exposed to a variety of natural disasters such as flooding, extreme temperatures, storms, earthquakes, and other natural shocks, and have had to respond and adapt to such pressures over time. In the context of global climate change, natural disasters have increased across the globe. Apart from climate change, many urban environments in Latin America are experiencing significant transformations in land use patterns, socio-demographic change, changing labor markets, and economic growth, resulting from recent decades of globalization. Such transformations have resulted in the internal fragmentation of cities. In this context, the purpose of the present chapter is to demonstrate the importance in both theoretical and methodological terms, of integrating the concept of socio-environmental fragmentation into urban vulnerability research in order to make progress toward higher degrees of local sustainability in those areas of the city that suffer natural disasters and fragmentation. Methodology/approach - A mixed methods approach is used in order to combine different technical issues from urban and climate change studies. Findings - The findings are related to the importance of an integrated approach, regarding the complexity of urban life, and the relationship between the urban, the social, and the environmental phenomenon. Social implications - This chapter relates to the revisit of the current state of preparedness and to determine whether further adaptations are required. The authors understood that these kinds of mixed approaches are necessary in order to understand the new complexity of urban processes.

- ItemEstudios socio-ecológicos de largo plazo en los sitios fundadores de la red LTSER-Chile: desafíos y oportunidades para el futuro(Universidad Austral, Facultad de Ciencias Forestales, 2014) Gaxiola Alcantar, Aurora; Celis Diez, Juan Luis; Rozzi, Ricardo; Gutiérrez, Julio; CEDEUS (Chile)La investigación que se desarrolla en los tres sitios fundadores de la red Chilena de Sitios de Estudios Socio-Ecológicos de Largo Plazo (LTSER-Chile) intenta responder preguntas que reflejan el contexto regional de cada sitio. La conformación de la LTSER-Chile en 2008 ofrece una oportunidad para generar estudios comparativos y analizar los potenciales efectos del cambio socio-ambiental global en los diferentes ecosistemas de Chile. Este estudio presenta un análisis de las líneas de investigación desarrolladas en cada uno de los tres sitios y el contexto en el que se han establecido. Cada sitio fundador ha identificado aspectos claves de necesidades locales y del interés de los grupos de investigadores que han iniciado y dirigido los estudios ecológicos o socio-ecológicos a largo plazo. A nivel nacional estos diversos enfoques resultan complementarios. Primeramente, se presentan los análisis y evaluaciones que realizan cada uno de estos grupos de investigación, y luego, un breve diagnóstico del trabajo de las últimas dos décadas en los sitios que actualmente son parte de la LTSER-Chile, con el fin de identificar vacíos y oportunidades de investigación. Asimismo, esta caracterización contribuirá a abordar los retos y oportunidades en investigación socio-ecológica de largo plazo, básica y aplicada.
