It extends from latitudes 18 to 56 degrees south and contains one of the driest regions in the world and one of the wettest areas in South America. It is bound on the north by Peru, on the northeast by Bolivia, on its long eastern border (3,200 miles) by Argentina and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. In its economy and public services, Chile is one of the most developed countries in the Andean region. Climate: Extending over 38 degrees of latitude, from the tropics to the vicinity of Antarctica, and from sea level to altitudes of over 20,000 feet, Chile has a wide variety of climatic conditions. Extreme aridity prevails over the northern part of the country; the average annual rainfall in this region is 0.04 inches. Temperatures are moderate along the coast throughout the year and more extreme inland, especially in the central basin.

ORGANIZATION/ ORGANIZACIÓN/ ORGANISATION: Socialist Youth of Chile (JSCh) COUNTRY/ PAÍS/ PAYS: Chile 1 Since last October, civil protest was taking place throughout Chile, in 2 response to a raise in the Santiago’s subway fare, the increased cost of living 3 and inequality prevalent in the country, one of the most important in the 4 neoliberalism’s tradition. 5 The protests began in Chile's capital, Santiago, as a coordinated fare evasion 6 campaign by secondary school students which led to spontaneous takeovers of the 7 city's main train stations and open confrontations with the national police. On 8 October 18th, the situation escalated as a massive demonstration in the stations 9 of Santiago’s subway. On the same day, President of Chile Sebastián Piñera 10 announced a state of emergency, authorizing the deployment of Chilean Army 11 forces across the main regions to enforce order, invoking before in the courts 12 the State Security Law against dozens of detainees. A curfew was declared on 13 October 19th in the Greater Santiago area. 14 In the following days, protests and riots expanded to other Chilean 15 cities, including Concepción and Valparaíso. President Piñera addressed 16 the nation on the afternoon of October 20th, saying the country was "at 17 war with a powerful and implacable enemy" and announced that the state 18 of emergency was extending to those cities and other regions, such as 19 Antofagasta, Coquimbo, Iquique, La Serena, Rancagua, Valdivia, Osorno 20 and Puerto Montt.

  • Regiones Extremas Chilenas Y Su Invisibilidad Económica*
    Volumen XIV / N° 2 / julio-diciembre 2014 / pp. 187-216 Regiones extremas chilenas y su invisibilidad económica* Economic invisibility of Chile’s end regions Sergio Soza-Amigo** Universidad de Magallanes, Punta Arenas, Chile Loreto Correa*** Academia Nacional de Estudios Políticos y Estratégicos, Santiago, Chile Recibido: 23 de diciembre de 2013. Aprobado: 18 de agosto de 2014. Resumen En este artículo se constata que las zonas extremas de Chile no poseen una estructura que viabilice un modelo de desarrollo homogéneo respecto a las demás regiones, y que dichas diferencias se manifiestan en sus composiciones demográficas y económicas. La hipótesis central de este trabajo es que las regiones extremas del norte y sur-austral son prácticamente invisibles en el contexto económico nacional. Además, se advierte a través de un análisis input-output, que en el desarrollo endógeno de ambas regiones extremas, Arica y Parinacota no es capaz de generar recursos para satisfacer sus propias necesida- des de desarrollo, y que Magallanes y Antártica Chilena al menos ha construido su base económica de manera más formal y diversificada. Palabras clave: regiones extremas, Chile, siglo XXI. * Se reconocen y agradecen los financiamientos entregados por Fondecyt, por medio del proyecto N° 1120405: “Entre el conflicto y el aislamiento: desarrollo, gobernabilidad y seguridad en las zonas fronterizas del norte y el sur de Chile a comienzos del siglo XXI”, así como la colaboración de la licenciada Cinthia Avellaneda Vera. Informamos que una versión preliminar y complementaria de esta investigación fue publicada en la Revista ESD (“Políticas públicas y gobernabilidad en las zonas extremas de Chile 2010-2012”, 1, 17-42) y en XIV Reunión de Economía Mundial, Universidad de Jaen, España, 2011.

  • Chile Doing As the “Gateway”? Can It Strengthen This Function? How? 2
    11 DISTRIBUTION AND LOGISTICS This chapter will focus on two main subjects: 1. “Gateway”—How is Chile doing as the “gateway”? Can it strengthen this function? How? 2. Logistics for export and import—How are goods transported and distributed in Chile? What are remaining problems? The first subject will place Chile in the international perspectives. The second subject will concentrate on Chile’s domestic systems. 11.1 Chile as the “Gateway”: International Distribution 11.1.1 International Cargo Movements through the “Gateway” Chile’s function as the “gateway” is already a real one though it is still limited in terms of cargo volume. Figure 11.1.1 is reproduced here (originally Figure 10.2.6, Chapter 10) to indicate the extent of that function. As is seen, transit cargos as a whole only account for a fraction of total international movements.1 It is also evident that most of the transit cargos go through the North Zone, to and from Bolivia primarily. The annual total volume of transit cargos (880,000 tons westbound and 510,000 tons eastbound) may be still insignificant compared with Chile’s total handling volumes. Nonetheless, this present picture clearly illustrates a promising possibility that Chile should pursue: its “gateway” function can expand further. To demonstrate this, Chile’s current position in the international distribution and transportation networks particularly with neighboring countries will be reviewed in following sections. 11.1.2 Macro-Region Andina “Macro-region Andina” is a notion proposed and pursued by authorities concerned in Region I. Without any definite boundaries, it roughly covers an area encompassing the southern part of Peru, most of Bolivia, northern part of Argentina, part of Paraguay, and the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul of Brazil.

Introduction 1.1 In November 2011, Chile implemented the RNAV 5 navigation specification in the continental RNAV airways in the Flight Information Regions of Antofagasta, Santiago, Puerto Montt and Punta Arenas. 1.2 Until then, Chile had a structure of routes based on ground radioaids and area navigation routes, both established in the same points and trajectories that commercial aviation used for flights planning and flight plans presentation. 1.3 At the ATS / RO 5 meeting held on July 2013, Chile informed about the plan for optimizing the ATS route structure being at that time developed and the implementation of the RNAV 5 navigation specification, in accordance with the trajectories and needs of the route network at the SAM Region. 1.4 The use of area navigation systems (RNAV), air traffic management (ATM) and the use of ATS surveillance systems as a whole, had allowed aircraft to fly more efficient and direct routes compared to that offered by ground radioaids airways network, resulting in a considerable increase in efficiency and PPRC/5 — IP/02 Rev.

  • Damage Assessment of the 2015 Mw 8.3 Illapel Earthquake in the North‑Central Chile
    Natural Hazards https://doi.org/10.1007/s11069-018-3541-3 ORIGINAL PAPER Damage assessment of the 2015 Mw 8.3 Illapel earthquake in the North‑Central Chile José Fernández1 · César Pastén1 · Sergio Ruiz2 · Felipe Leyton3 Received: 27 May 2018 / Accepted: 19 November 2018 © Springer Nature B.V. 2018 Abstract Destructive megathrust earthquakes, such as the 2015 Mw 8.3 Illapel event, frequently afect Chile. In this study, we assess the damage of the 2015 Illapel Earthquake in the Coquimbo Region (North-Central Chile) using the MSK-64 macroseismic intensity scale, adapted to Chilean civil structures. We complement these observations with the analysis of strong motion records and geophysical data of 29 seismic stations, including average shear wave velocities in the upper 30 m, Vs30, and horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratios. The calculated MSK intensities indicate that the damage was lower than expected for such megathrust earthquake, which can be attributable to the high Vs30 and the low predominant vibration periods of the sites. Nevertheless, few sites have shown systematic high intensi- ties during comparable earthquakes most likely due to local site efects. The intensities of the 2015 Illapel earthquake are lower than the reported for the 1997 Mw 7.1 Punitaqui intraplate intermediate-depth earthquake, despite the larger magnitude of the recent event. Keywords Subduction earthquake · H/V spectral ratio · Earthquake intensity 1 Introduction On September 16, 2015, at 22:54:31 (UTC), the Mw 8.3 Illapel earthquake occurred in the Coquimbo Region, North-Central Chile. The epicenter was located at 71.74°W, 31.64°S and 23.3 km depth and the rupture reached an extent of 200 km × 100 km, with a near trench rupture that caused a local tsunami in the Chilean coast (Heidarzadeh et al.
