Territorial planning on the coast of central Chile: incorporation of environmental fragility and risk criteria

Abstract

Analysis of the state of territorial planning tools of the coastal zone of the Maule Region (Central Chile) are made and compared with spatial units of a detailed scale of environmental fragility and tsunami risk. Notice is made of the precariousness and scarce incorporation of environmental considerations of these tools. In this sense, a zonification that allows for the incorporation of environmental variables is proposed for the planification tools of the coastal zone.
