While Santiago’s public transit is formally universal, our findings show that …
Exploring the Drivers of Rural Water Supply Sustainability in Chile

Focusing on Gran Valparaíso, Chile, where a structured metro system coexists with a deregulated bus network, we employ an …
A systems-focused assessment of policies for circular economy in construction demolition waste management in the Aysén region of Chile
This study pairs a recently developed regulatory framework for Chile with a regional case study in Aysén to highlight systems-level pinch points and synergies for the future application of a circular economy framework for construction demolition waste (CE-CDW) management. A qualitative coding process called purposive text analysis was used to extract, aggregate, and structurally analyze causal connections between factors impacting CE-CDW derived …
