Urban 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

Estudios 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.

Integrated 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.

Coping 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.

Modeling the Effects of Pro Bicycle Infrastructure and Policies Toward Sustainable Urban Mobility
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014) Dell Olio, Luigi; Ibeas Henríquez, Miguel Ángel; Bordagaray, Maria; Ortúzar Salas, Juan de Dios; CEDEUS (Chile)
This paper aims to determine the potential of the bicycle as a sustainable mode of transport in a medium-sized Spanish city (Santander, in northern Spain) with strong inclines and relatively inclement weather. For this purpose, a general methodology has been designed that could serve as an example for other areas. First, potential bicycle users in the city are characterized and identified through a household survey, which included a complete travel diary. Then they were asked to participate in a stated preference survey designed to find out the relative importance of certain key variables, previously identified, associated with making bicycle journeys. These data were used to estimate mixed logit models allowing to correctly treat the pseudopanel nature of the data. The results indicate that the most important variables among potential users are the cost and the climate, followed by the availability of infrastructure such as cycle paths and an extensive network of both public and private bicycle docking stations. Finally, the willingness to change from traditional modes of transport, such as car and bus, to bicycle has been examined according to various policies designed to encourage more sustainable mobility (such as bicycle and bus lanes and a city center congestion charge for private cars). The main finding of this research has been the identification of the conditions under which the bicycle could increase its market share from its current 0.30% up to 5.52% in a city with the characteristics of Santander (i.e.,not in principle conducive to expect high bicycle use).
Foreign direct investment, local development and poverty reduction: the sustainability of the salmon industry in Southern Chile
(2014) Fløysand, Arnt; Barton, Jonathan Richard; CEDEUS (Chile)
The rate of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has risen dramatically during the past three decades; developing countries’ inward stock of FDI amounted to about 30 per cent of their GDP in 2009, compared to just 12 per cent in 1980 (UNCTAD 2011). This has led to a great deal of optimism that FDI can provide a potential for economic development and poverty reduction. However, this potential depends on how FDI interacts with the environment in which the investments take place (Lall and Narula 2004, Moran et al. 2005). To discuss these types of interaction, we propose an analytical framework approaching FDI as consisting of capital, actors and knowledge, or what we call the capital–actor–knowledge complex.
Policy statement coherence: A methodological proposal to assess environmental public policies applied to water in Chile
(Elsevier Sci Ltd., 2014) Reyes Mendy, Francisca; Arriagada Cisternas, Rodrigo; Reyes Paecke, Sonia; Tobar, Angela; CEDEUS (Chile)
Research on analytical and assessment methods regarding environmental policies are scarce, despite the growing concern on environmental topics within governments and civil society. This proposal addresses such gap by offering a methodological tool used to elaborate, monitor and reformulate environmental policies. By using the theory of policy domains, we developed an analytical framework consisting of topics and objectives that build the environmental public policy domain, from which we assess its degree of coherence with the environmental regulatory response. This methodology, called policy statement coherence, will contribute towards the understanding of public policy formulation and implementation processes, an important methodological contribution in this field of research. This proposal revolves around the analysis of water policies in Chile. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
