An integrated framework for analysing horizontal and vertical tsunami evacuation. A case study of Iquique, Chile
Assessing the reconstruction process following a wildland urban interface (WUI) fire in Viña del Mar, Chile
Purpose To critically assess the reconstruction process's outcomes four months after a wildfire disaster in Viña del Mar, Chile, comparing the governmental reconstruction plan and the actual rebuilding efforts by the dwellers. Design/methodology/approach A geographic information system (GIS)-based analysis to deliver a spatial-based comparison of (1) the cadastre of damaged dwellings; (2) the Ministry of Housing and Urbanism’s (MINVU) reconstruct…
Assessing potential tsunami vertical-evacuation practices: A study of four cases in Chile using virtual reality and GIS
Tsunami vertical-evacuation (TVE) can save numerous human lives when horizontal evacuation is not feasible. A key topic in TVE planning is the optimal placement of shelters, which is typically studied using a top-down approach. Recently, virtual reality (VR) has become an emerging tool to support disaster risk reduction and emergency response training. While VR has been applied to visualise tsunami flood zones and evacuation routes, no studies ha…
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…
Urban form planning and tsunami risk vulnerability: Analysis of 12 Chilean coastal cities
Urban form has a significant impact on risk. Spatial planning instruments can optimize urban form in areas exposed to hazards. This work discusses how urban planning instruments, specifically Communal Regulatory Plans (CRPs), affect vulnerability to the risk of tsunami inundation in Chilean coastal cities. We analyze urban form and address exposure, susceptibility, and response capacity parameters. Exposure is evaluated by comparing existing and …
From urban form analysis to metrics for enhancing tsunami evacuation: Lessons from twelve Chilean cities
Public space and urban resilience: Children’s perspectives. The case of the hills of Valparaíso, Chile
Public space has become an essential component of resilient urban development. Despite the growing recognition of this reality, public space and its functionality amid socio-natural disasters are usually not considered in risk planning and management. The child population, certainly among the most vulnerable, is equally invisible amid mitigation measures and post-catastrophe reconstruction. Thus, this article seeks to advance the understanding of…
El Agrimensor Desmedido. Las Implicaciones Estético-Políticas De La Técnica Moderna en Las Obras De Lewis Mumford Y Paul Virilio
During the 20th Century, a progressive analysis of the impact of aesthetics on geopolitics and territorial arrangement has been developed. If so far the Renaissance perspective, as a technique that is proper of the measurement of space, had enabled the development of (geo)politics as territorial sovereignty, the new technologies of information and communication have provoked a crisis for the very possibility of control and measure over said space…

La descentralización y el sistema político
Es imposible disociar a la descentralización del modo cómo se divide el poder en el Estado
Las organizaciones indígenas y el gobierno de Rafael Correa
Este texto analiza la dinmica de las relaciones entre organizaciones indgenas y el gobierno de Rafael Correa, realizando antes un apretado recorrido de estas relaciones en distintos gobiernos, en especial aquellos que siguieron al levantamiento indgena de 1990. Hecho que permiti a los indgenas conquistar un espacio en la escena poltica y construir una representacin propia, que permitiera llevar adelante sus demandas de citadinidad. Demandas que s…
Entre la propuesta y el corporatismo
Para los movimientos sociales, el Estado sigue siendo el gran eje donde se articulan gran parte de sus demandas

Objectives. To determine the antimicrobial potential of marine actinomycetes against drug-resistant pathogens represented by strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VRE). Materials and methods. Strains of actinomycetes (29) isolated from marine sediment were evaluated by their characteristics in two culture media and by testing their inhibitory capacity by in vitro antagonism a…
Bacterias marinas productoras de compuestos antibacterianos aisladas a partir de invertebrados intermareales
Prospective sampling activities of intertidal invertebrates in the Ancon Bay (Lima, Peru) were done in order to select marine bacteria producing antimicrobial substances. The study included the isolation of bacteria in marine agar, in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing and electronic microscopic observations. We report the isolation, phenotypical characterization and antimicrobial properties of 10 strains of marine bacteria including the …

Land Utilization in Costa Rica
D ESPITE its small size, Costa Rica possesses a great variety of natural resources, and although the manner in which these have been put to use has a good deal in common with that in other tropical countries, it nevertheless shows certain distinctive features. From the poorest colony of Spain in America, Costa Rica has become the leader among the Central American republics in per capita production. Economically it was the introduction of coffee a…
