“…This kind of generalization based on Borsdorf (2003) Latin American urban development model is a preliminary and useful attempt to demonstrate that the dynamics of urban structuring in intermediate cities are comparable to major cities and the globalization effects are also impacting their urban development. Gated communities, pleasure lots in the fringe, and also an early but strong fragmentation represented by the spatial separation of different social groups in the city according to income differences are visible phenomena.…”

“…Transformations resulting from globalized neoliberal policies have been studied preferentially in big capitals in Latin America: Santiago, Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Mexico city, Lima and Bogota. All these spaces have experienced deep mutations as much in its morphology as in its internal configuration (Borsdorf & Hidalgo, 2011;Coy & Pohler, 2001;Cabrales & Canosa, 2002;Parnreiter, 2002), up to the extreme that some authors denote to the coming of a new model of Latin-American city, characterized by fragmentation and privatization of urban space (Borsdorf, 2003;Janoschka, 2002).…”

Academic production about the main Chilean cities exceeds the existing documentation on intermediate cities, though they have shown interesting trends patterns in recent years which have changed the urban system in Chile. This paper aimed to analyze the urban growth processes in Chilean intermediate cities using Temuco as a case study. It begins with an historical look at the city and then mentions that in the last decades this kind of cities have undergone new forms of segregation associated to real estate activities such as private communities, rural residential properties and new localization of services which have resulted in a fragmentation of urban space, a phenomenon reinforced by the consolidation of some satellite cities. At the same time, many urban problems associated to poverty, like a standstill of the regional economy and environmental pollution have appeared, jeopardizing the sustainability of these spaces, questioning current development parameters. The article ends considering the future challenges in Temuco’s urban development.

“…Second, the growing demand for lots at the rural-urban fringe is driving speculation, boosting land prices, and thus impeding farmers' lease of additional parcels, which are needed for the market-oriented production of artichokes, maize, or potatoes (Haller and Bender 2013;Haller 2014). Third, these settlements' location at the border between 2 agroecological zonesthe quechua (from Quechua qheswa, meaning ''inhabitants of temperate valleys'') up to 3500 masl and the suni (Quechua for ''high'', ''large,'' or ''deep'') and puna (Quechua, meaning ''high and cold area'') regions above (Pulgar Vidal 1946; regarding similar zonation models, see Stadel 1992 or Borsdorf andStadel 2013)-emphasizes the geographic specificities of urban growth impacts on agriculture in tropical Andean valleys.…”

“…that promote the existence of geological basins with respective lakes. They date back to the Andean orogenesis that started in the Cenozoic, which is an era with intensive erosion of the Eastern Cordillera causing significant sedimentation in the eastern sub-Andean cordillera with its characteristic landslides, faults, and basins [5,23]. The "Laguna Pomacochas" is the most prominent of these basins and is surrounded by the protected Alto Mayo, the Santuario Nacional Cordillera de Colán, and the Zona Reserva Río Neva mountain ridges.…”

Vegetation Succession on Degraded Sites in the Pomacochas Basin (Amazonas, N Peru)—Ecological Options for Forest Restoration

Abstract:The Andes of northern Peru are still widely covered with forests, but increasingly suffer from habitat fragmentation. Subsequent soil degradation often leads to the abandonment of overused forests and pastures. Ecological knowledge on the restoration potential, e.g., on dependencies of soil conditions and altitude, is scarce. Therefore, we compared soil and vegetation patterns along nine transects within the upper Pomacochas Basin, which is an important biodiversity corridor along the Andes, between remaining forests, succession sites and pastures. Anthropogenic successional and disturbance levels, geological substrate, and altitude have the most important ecological impacts on vegetation and tree species composition. Species responded to sandstone versus calcareous substrates, but also to depths of the organic soil layer, and light conditions. The absence of organic layers under pastures contrasted with the accumulation of thick organic layers under forest cover. Vegetation composition at succession sites revealed certain starting points (herbal stage, bush stage, or secondary forest) for restoration that will determine the length of regeneration paths. Pre-forest patches of Alchornea sp. and Parathesis sp. may act as habitat stepping stones for expeditiously restoring biocorridors for wildlife. The key findings can contribute to the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity in a fragile ecoregion.
