Se sistematizaron los efectos asociados al cambio climático sobre los espacios urbanos en Chile entre los años 2000 y 2012. El método se basó en la revisión de artículos científicos en tres bases de datos (Scopus, Web of Knowledge y Scielo) mediante el uso de 32 palabras claves. Los resultados mostraron sólo 14 investigaciones que relacionan el cambio climático en espacios urbanos, la mayoría de las cuales fueron estudios de casos centrados en la capital nacional. Los principales efectos sobre los espacios urbanos se basaron en cuatro aspectos: 1) incremento de temperatura (islas de calor, olas de calor), 2) problemas de salud en la población más vulnerable (complicaciones cardiacas, insolación, enfermedades respiratorias), 3) incremento en la demanda de agua y 4) daños en la infraestructura urbana con el consiguiente riesgo para la población. Ante este fenómeno se requiere: 1) la incorporación efectiva de los posibles impactos del cambio climático en los instrumentos de planificación territorial, 2) incremento de las áreas verdes que permita mitigar los impactos de las olas de calor, 3) limitar la construcción de viviendas o servicios públicos en áreas de riesgo, 4) incentivar el diseño de planes de adaptación haciendo participe a la propia población vulnerable y 5) implementar medidas de conservación del agua. Se concluye que el cambio climático está generando en los espacios urbanos efectos que deben considerarse para el diseño y expansión de las ciudades. ABSTRACTWe have systematized the effects associated with climate change on urban spaces in Chile reported between 2000 and 2012. The method was based on a review of scientific articles in three databases (Scopus, Web of Knowledge and Scielo) using 32 keywords. Only 14 research papers were found related to climate change in urban spaces, most of which were case studies focused on the capital, Santiago. The main effects on urban spaces were found in four areas: (1) increase in temperature (heat islands, heat waves), (2) health problems in vulnerable populations (cardiac complications, heat stroke, and respiratory diseases), (3) increased demand for water, and (4) damage to the urban infrastructure with resulting risk to the population. In these circumstances the following measures are needed: (1) effective incorporation of the potential impacts of climate change into 548 P. Monsalves-Gavilán et al.territorial planning instruments, (2) increased green areas to mitigate the impact of heat waves, (3) limiting of housing or public services in areas at risk, (4) encouraging the design of adaptation plans by involving the vulnerable population, and (5) implementing water conservation measures. We conclude that climate change is causing effects in urban areas that should be considered in the design and expansion of cities.

“…En el año 1960, Chile -y la costa de La Araucanía-fue azotado por dos terremotos y un maremoto, lo que dejó una profunda huella en la población, afectando fuertemente la economía (Montenegro-Romero & Peña-Cortés, 2010). La situación de deterioro ambiental y social, fomentada por las prácticas agrícolas del campesino tradicional -uso de fuego, cultivo en sentido de la pendiente, labranza con arado, entre otras-, se agravó con la consolidación de las plantaciones forestales de Pinus radiata, gracias al Decreto Ley 701 1 (Peña-Cortés et al, 2009a), lo cual generó un cambio notable en el uso del suelo (Peña-Cortés et al, 2011).…”

Resumen (Analítico):Este estudio es un acercamiento a la realidad de la transmisión oral de saberes y prácticas acerca del territorio, en familias lafkenche que viven asociadas a espacios de humedales en el borde costero de La Araucanía (Chile). Para la recolección de datos aplicamos encuestas a niños y niñas, padres y madres, docentes, y asesores y asesoras culturales en cinco escuelas. Visualizamos que existen saberes territoriales que, sin embargo, no encuentran un espacio dónde manifestarse fuera del hogar. Concluimos que la sistematicidad en el acercamiento de los alumnos y alumnas a su cultura originaria, la permanencia en el tiempo de los asesores y asesoras culturales, el compromiso real de los profesores y profesoras no mapuches, y el respeto de estos hacia la cultura, puede eventualmente lograr resultados satisfactorios en la preservación de la lengua y de las prácticas culturales en el territorio lafkenche.

“…The significant impacts associated with recent tsunamigenic events worldwide have motivated the development of numerous studies devoted to hazard assessment and tsunami modeling (e.g., Arcas and Titov 2006;González et al 2009;Montenegro-Romero and Peña-Cortés 2010;Nandasena et al 2012;Imamura et al 2012;Suppasri et al 2013;Melgar and Bock 2013;Adriano et al 2014Adriano et al , 2016Ozer Sozdinler et al 2015;Catalán et al 2015;Goda et al 2015;Park and Cox 2016;Santa María et al 2016;Aránguiz et al 2016;Martínez et al 2016). For example, the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake and tsunami offered the opportunity to evaluate different types of mitigation measures.…”

Due to Chile's notorious and frequent seismic activity, earthquake-and tsunami-related studies have become a priority in the interest of developing effective countermeasures to mitigate their impacts and to improve the country's resilience. Mitigation measures are key to accomplish these objectives. Therefore, this investigation adopts a tsunami damage assessment framework to evaluate the direct benefits of tsunami mitigation works implemented by the Chilean government in the town of Dichato in the aftermath of the 2010 tsunami. We perform an ex post analysis of the potential damage reduction produced by these works studying what would have been the consequences on the built environment if they were in place for the tsunami that hit this area after the Maule earthquake in February 27, 2010. We use state-of-the-art tsunami simulation models at high resolution to assess the reduction in tsunami intensity measures, which serve as input to evaluate the benefit from averted damage against the costs of the mitigation measures. The obtained results show a reduction in the flooded area and a delay in the arrival times for the first smaller tsunami waves, but a negligible damage reduction when confronted to the largest waves. In conclusion, the tsunami mitigation measures would not have been effective to reduce the impact of the tsunami generated by the Maule earthquake in the town of Dichato, but could have had a benefit in retarding the inundation of low-land areas for the first smaller tsunami waves. The latter suggests that these works might be useful to mitigate storm waves or tsunamis of much smaller scales than the one that hit central-south Chile in 2010.
