The process of urbanization advances rapidly and affects multiple portions of the world. In this way, some medium-sized cities have begun to demonstrate metropolisation of their spaces. This article seeks to understand the dynamics of population growth, as well as constructed and functional surfa...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the seasonal relationship of macrobenthos richness and abundance with sediment characteristics (i.e. texture and organic material) for the coastal Budi Lagoon in southern Chile. Physicochemical measurements and macrobenthos samples were taken ov...

Spatially distributed hydrological models have been a powerful tool for indirect survey information of a watershed. In this study, the hydrological behavior of two basins located on the coastal edge of the Araucania region is characterized. The method is based on a process of spatially distribute...

Post-tsunami analysis of the evolution of resettlement and land use changes in affected areas has become particularly important following the latest catastrophic events in Chile and Japan. Nevertheless, due to the recent nature of these events there is a lack of long-term perspectives. The presen...

We analyzed the major changes in land use in the landscape units (geosystems) of Boroa river basin between 1994 and 2004. To do this, we hypothesized that changes in landscape structure have been driven primarily by human action, generating significant changes in the ecological landscape. Categor...

While it is widely known that socio-cultural transformations have a spatial impact on geographical areas, limited attention has been paid to mapping such transformations. This paper aims to explore how historical maps of land-use changes can be excellent tools for this purpose. The Lafkenmapu are...
