Simulación del cambio de uso de suelo en el área periurbana Villarrica-Pucón, Chile, 1998-2065
La pandemia de Covid-19 intensificó la migración urbana hacia zonas turísticas, generando presiones de periurbanización no planificada. Este estudio analiza los cambios de uso de suelo en el área periurbana de Villarrica-Pucón (Chile) bajo dos escenarios al 2065: tendencial y con nuevos proyectos viales, utilizando el modelo Dyna-CLUE y datos satelitales (1998-2018). Los resultados muestran un crecimiento explosivo de parcelas de agrado (3.208 ha…
Future land use conflicts
Latin America’s intensive urbanization processes are triggering rapid peri-urban transformations and the expansion of cities. These include accelerated metropolization processes, urban sprawl, and the emergence of new conurbations. These changes parallel the expansion of highly profitable agricultural activities and plantations linked to international markets. This paper aims to analyze land use/cover changes between 1990 and 2050 in the Quillota…
Land cover and potential for tsunami evacuation in rapidly growing urban areas. The case of Boca Sur (San Pedro de la Paz, Chile)
The destructive potential of a massive tsunami is not only related to society's response capacity and evacuation plans, but also to the urban morphology and land cover. The Boca Sur neighborhood is one of the areas in central Chile that is most exposed to tsunamis, and it is framed in the context of increasing urban growth. Faced with the worst tsunami scenario (earthquake Mw = 9.0), residents' evacuation potential is analyzed by using a least-co…
Water vulnerabilities mapping
One of the major challenges that populations have to face is vulnerability to water: lack of water, flooding, pollution, hazard sensitivity and coping capacity. Owing to economic, social and environmental inequalities, this paper focuses on water-related vulnerabilities in the Metropolitan Region of Santiago (RMS) in Chile. Our main objective is to understand, through mapping, the multiscalar logics of water vulnerability. This study is carried o…
How to Define a New Metropolitan Area? The Case of Quito, Ecuador, and Contributions for Urban Planning
The Metropolitan Area of Quito has experienced exponential growth in recent decades, especially in peri-urban sectors. The literature has described this process as “urban sprawl”, a phenomenon that is changing the landscape by increasing land consumption and forming conurbations with the nearest populated centers. This article proposes a new, broader and more complex metropolitan structure for the metropolis of Quito, the linking of neighboring a…
Evaluating Spatial Scenarios for Sustainable Development in Quito, Ecuador
Peripheral urban sprawl configures new, extensive conurbations that transcend current administrative boundaries. Land use planning, supported by the analysis of future scenarios, is a guide to achieve sustainability in large metropolitan areas. To understand how urban sprawl is consuming natural and agricultural land, this paper analyzes land use changes in the metropolis of Quito, considering a combination of urban planning, natural conservation…
