Abstract
El análisis de la evolución del repoblamiento y uso de áreas afectadas postsunami, cobra importancia después de los últimos eventos catastróficos de Chile y Japón. Sin embargo, por tratarse de eventos recientes, se carece de una perspectiva de largo término. El presente estudio explora la evolución del repoblamiento y actividades productivas de un poblado ícono de la destrucción generada por una catástrofe ocurrida en Chile, hace medio siglo: el terremoto y tsunami de 1960 en Corral. El estudio se desarrolló a través de tres métodos: i) análisis de fotografías aéreas antiguas, ii) encuestas a sobrevivientes, y iii) análisis de los Instrumentos de Planificación Territorial (IPTs) entre 1960 y 2009. Los resultados indican que las áreas inundadas en 1960 fueron nuevamente repobladas y que la percepción actual frente al riesgo es baja. Por otro lado, se detectó la falta de carácter normativo de esta temática en los IPTs vigentes a nivel comunal.
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 present study explores the evolution of resettlement and productive activities within a town representative of the destruction generated by the catastrophe that occurred in Chile half a century ago: the earthquake and tsunami of 1960 in Corral. The study used three main methods: i) analysis of old aerial photographs, ii) interviews with survivors, and iii) analysis of Instruments of Territorial Planning (IPTs) between 1960 and 2009. The results show the 1960 inundated areas were resettled again and that the current risk awareness is low. Additionally, it was detected that there is a lack of regulation regarding this topic in the IPTs in existence at a local level.
