From Disaster Risk Construction to Disaster Risk Reduction: Exploring the Agency of Urban Land-Use Planning in Chile

Wyndham, Katherine E; Castro, Carmen-Paz; Sarmiento, Juan-Pablo

Abstract

This paper explores how the existing urban land-use regulatory framework and its associated planning practices in Chile have contributed to disaster risk construction in urban areas. It uses Actor Network Theory as an analytical framework, and in-depth interviews and focus groups to analyse the existing urban land-use regulatory framework and its innovation process. Drawing on the knowledges and perception of practitioners, and the revision of a case study, the paper unpacks the agency of the existing urban land-use regulatory framework in enhancing disaster risk, and how its rigidity and the obstacles for its modification, prevents the advance towards disaster risk reduction.
