Abstract
El siguiente trabajo pretende explorar y poner en valor los planos catastrales de colonización hechos para dos provincias de Chile, llamadas Cautín y Malleco, los años 1916 y 1917 respectivamente. Dichos planos son fruto de la intervención física iniciada por el Estado de Chile durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX la cual tuvo como fin someter esos territorios a la soberanía nacional. El trabajo plantea que estos planos logran esclarecer los sucesos ocurridos en todo el proceso con un nivel de detalle importante presentando gran cantidad de datos. Además, plantea que, si se estudian los dos planos en conjunto, a pesar de que el área que cubren es extensa, es posible interpretar las intenciones físicas y espaciales que se intentaron instalar sobre el territorio, especialmente se puede apreciar una idea y estructura espacial que lo ordena en la dirección norte sur. El trabajo se desarrolla aplicando un planteamiento metodológico con énfasis en el estudio de la morfología, el cual consiste en identificar los componentes dibujados de los planos, observar sus repeticiones, redibujarlos y encontrar relaciones espaciales entre los componentes. Se ha considerado también el estudio de algunos documentos y antecedentes bibliográficos.
The following work explores and highlights the significance of the cadastral colonization maps made in 1916 and 1917 for two provinces of Chile: Cautín and Malleco, respectively. These maps were the result of colonization planning initiated by the State of Chile during the second half of the nineteenth century, an exercise which sought to bring the two territories under national control. The maps are highly detailed and contain a substantial amount of data, and we propose that they offer considerable insight into the colonization process. We also posit that, although the area covered is extensive, a study of the two maps together would allow us to interpret the physical and spatial nature of the territorial interventions envisaged by the State and, in particular, offer insights into the intended north-south spatial structure of the region. Our methodological approach focuses on the morphology of the maps and involves a study of their drawn components, identification of any repeated configurations, tracing work, and examination of spatial relationships between components. A number of other documents and bibliographic references were also studied.
