“…Esto se logra a través del diseño de zonas próximas para que cada grupo pueda aprender de los otros (Rapoport, 1978). Una situación óptima sería aquella en que hay diferenciación social sin exclusión insistiendo en que los bordes de las áreas que ocupa cada grupo tienen que ser difusos (Young, 1995). En la medida que la ciudad obliga a la convivencia y a defi nir políticas de integración de las "diferencias" que a menudo están en el origen de la inseguridad y del miedo, es el único espacio capaz de mitigar verdaderamente el miedo sin renunciar a esta complejidad.…”

Latino gentrifi cación y polarización:transformaciones socioespaciales en barrios pericentrales y periféricos de Santiago, Chile 1Jorge Inzulza 2 y Ximena Galleguillos 3 RESUMENGentrifi cación y segregación, son fenómenos urbanos de diferenciación social y espacial complejos y controversiales a escala global. Santiago de Chile, al igual que otras megaciudades latinoamericanas, experimentó una rápida expansión urbana con diferenciación social. Específi camente, en las últimas décadas, la gestión inmobiliaria en esta ciudad está protagonizando transformaciones urbanas en el habitar, tanto el pericentro como la periferia, generando una cercanía geográfi ca aparente entre habitantes pobres y mejor situados. Sin embargo, estas mutaciones socioespaciales parecen perder de vista la forma urbana y sus estructuras de sentido para la vida ciudadana. ¿Qué efectos tipológicos y topológicos, se pueden reconocer en el pericentro y en la periferia producto de estas transformaciones? A partir de un análisis contextual, teóri-co y empírico en dos barrios en Santiago de Chile -El Llano Subercaseaux pericentral histórico, y Parque Violeta Cousiño periférico "emergente"-se examinan estos procesos de transformación socioespacial. Los hallazgos de este análisis -sistematizados por medio de una matriz topológica y tipológica-permiten establecer distinciones que muestran tendencias a latino gentrifi cación pericentral y polarización periférica.Palabras clave: Transformación socioespacial, barrio, tipología y topología, latino gentrifi cación, polarización. ABSTRACTGentrifi cation and segregation are complex and controversial urban phenomena of social and spatial differentiation at global scale. Similar to other Latin American megacities, Santiago, Chile has undergone a rapid urban expansion with social disparities. Specifi cally, in recent decades, real estate development has modifi ed the urban lifestyle in peri-central and peripheral areas, producing a geographical proximity between low and high-income residents that needs to be debated. However, these socio-spatial transformations appear to have lost sight of the original urban fabric, as well as people's values and collective memories. Which typological and topological effects can be recognized in Santiago's peri-central and peripheral zones as a result of these changes? Based on a contextual, theoretical and empirical analysis, we discuss the socio-spatial transformations of two neighborhoods in Santiago, Chile: El Llano Subercaseaux (a historical peri-central neighborhood) and Parque Violeta Cousiño (an emergent neighborhood on the city's periphery). The research fi ndings, which are systematized by a topological and typological matrix, provide conclusions about trends in peri-central Latino gentrifi cation and peripheral polarization.

“…In general terms the various definitions of a community all use some combination of space, people and social interactions [6]. For the purposes of this research the term community will refer to people whom one identifies within a specific locale [8].…”

“…For postmodernists the notion of community represents a desire to regain what has been lost as a result of modernity [8,9]. In this sense community offers an alternative to modern society and the opportunity to gain something that was lost when people were transformed from an agrarian community structure to that of an industrialised society.…”

“…Moreover, the notion of community assumes that the individual places the benefit of the collective over their own [9] in the belief that those within the collective reciprocate the action in their decision making. Unlike those in modern society who operate under the premise of self interest or individualism [8].…”

“…Criticisms of "community" abound in relation to social homogeneity, exclusion of minorities and that community represents a search for something that was never possessed in the first place [8,9]. However the notion of community is significant to planning in remote locations, as it provides a rich description of the relationship that a collection of relatively isolated people have with both the social and spatial attributes associated with their territory.…”

Planning for Community Based Tourism in a Remote Location

Remote areas are difficult to access, tend to lack critical infrastructure, are highly susceptible to shocks in the marketplace, and are perceived by industry to possess limited development opportunities. Accordingly a community orientated and territorial approach to development planning in a remote area will be more successful than a top down industry based approach [1]. Given the limitations of being remote, the case study community examined in this research manages and sustains a bird watching tourism product within a global market place. This paper examines how a remotely located community in the Arfak Mountains of West Papua overcomes these difficulties and plans for community based tourism (CBT) in their locale.

In this paper the powerful relations between mental health and nature are explored with reference to past asylum horticultural practices and to contemporary community gardening schemes for people with mental-health problems in the United Kingdom. Through the use of archival evidence, alongside contemporary voices of experience, understandings of the therapeutic and social dimensions to nature work are outlined and deconstructed. It is argued that particular discourses concerning the powers of nature (work) in managing madness and mental-health problems are largely consistent across time and space (from the asylum to the community). However, in the contemporary era it is particular types of nature work that arguably contribute most directly to state agendas for social inclusion, and therefore to securing the place of people with mental-health problems in mainstream society. By briefly profiling the voices of staff and ‘volunteers’ from two urban garden schemes in England and Scotland, different experiences of garden work as ‘restorative’ and as ‘interventionist’ will be discussed. I conclude by evaluating how embodying and enacting gardening work act as a sustainable vehicle for new versions of social citizenship for people traditionally marginalised in mainstream society.
