The mobility of nomadic Indigenous people has been systematically constrained over time by states seeking control over peripheral spaces and people. This is evident in the case of the Kawésqar nomadic ‘people of the sea’ who have been subject to a century of attempts by the Chilean state to spatially fix their movements over both their terrestrial...

Los conflictos actuales sobre el espacio marino y el borde costero de la región de Magallanes son una expresión de las demandas competitivas por acceso, uso y significación cultural, por parte de distintos grupos sociales asentados en la región o con intereses en ella. Estas demandas tienen un doble origen: i) en los efectos devastadores de las dis...

Nature-based tourism is a mobile activity shaped by the capacity of tourists for displacement and the socio-material infrastructure allowing flows. However, the literature has scarcely addressed aspects of mobility in governing nature-based tourism. Taking the case of the National Park Torres del Paine we explore three aspects of mobility in nature...

Objetivo/contexto: Este artículo analiza las formas particulares de violencia interétnica en el territorio marino, o maritorio, ocupado históricamente por el pueblo kawésqar. Metodología: El grueso de la investigación se desarrolló en el archivo judicial, hasta ahora no trabajado para analizar conflictos interétnicos del período inicial de la colon...

This article focuses on self-organizing processes in contested urban social-ecological systems. It analyzes a wetland conservation program and civic management effort in the Angachilla sector of the city of Valdivia, Chile in a 15-year time frame. The aim is to understand what triggers collective actions and self-organization in the attempts of pre...

The aim was to inquire on the historical precedents that influenced the development of Panguipulli Forestry and Timber Complex, a forestry company that emerged in 1971 in the province of Valdivia, South-central Chile. The company managed an area larger than 400,000 hectares and employed over 3,000 workers, functioning under a co-management scheme s...

La representación espacial de servicios ecosistémicos (SE), entendidos como indicadores socioecológicos, se considera un paso clave para la incorporación de este enfoque en la toma de decisiones respecto al uso de la tierra. El presente reporte entrega una síntesis y análisis de calidad de indicadores para los siguientes SE: 1. Almacenamiento de ag...

â–º Harmonization of SPS and quality measures is in debate in international trade. â–º The study analyzes SPS and quality measures for Chilean fresh fruit exports. â–º Results show a lack of homogeneity in SPS and quality measures and exporters perceived them as such.

Modeling and mapping of cultural ecosystem services (CES) represents a significant gap in ecosystem service research. A GIS-based methodological framework was developed and applied to map agricultural heritage (AH), understood as a non-divisible combination of three cultural services (dimensions, D): the heritage value associated to a culturally si...

Increasing awareness of food safety issues has led to intensive use of sanitary, phytosanitary and quality-related regulations and standards, imposing a burden on exporting countries worldwide. This study assesses the impact of such regulations and standards estimating a gravity model for Chilean fresh fruit exports that incorporates a stringency-p...

The increasing stringency of world food markets requires farmers to adjust farm structure and commercial strategies to remain integrated in export supply chains. The goal of this study was to identify and characterize different types of fresh fruit farms with regard to farm structural and commercial strategies for a representative sample of fresh f...

Los bosques constituyen ecosistemas fundamentales, donde se desarrollan procesos y funciones que a su vez producen una gama de bienes y servicios para el beneficio de la sociedad. Uno de los principales productos que provee el bosque es la leña, cuya explotación y uso cobra gran relevancia en la región de Los Ríos y la comuna de Panguipulli en part...

Increasing awareness of food safety issues has brought a boost in sanitary and phytosanitary regulations and standards. Although is likely that these regulations have increased health and welfare in the countries that impose them, they may also have an important effect in exporting countries, affecting especially small producers in developing count...

Chile's open trade policy, implemented during the last few decades, has greatly transformed Chilean farmers and their production systems. As a result, farmers can be grouped into three categories based on their market-production orientation: domestic, transitional or export producers. The objective of this paper is to analyze the factors underlying...

Harmonization of trade regulations and standards is perhaps the most contentious issue regarding export markets due to the impacts that it can have on trade. We determine the extent of harmonization as perceived by exporters with respect to the major Sanitary and Phytosanitary Standards (SPSs) and quality measures which Chile faces in 16 internatio...
