    Territorial Infrastructure Support Index (ISIT): A theoretical and empirical contribution to the analysis of lag zones in Chile
    (2023) Orellana Ossandón, Arturo; Truffello Robledo, Ricardo; Moreno Alba, Daniel Felipe; Altamirano López, Héctor; Flores Castillo, Mónica Andrea; Puig, Isidro; Instituto de Estudios Urbanos; UC
    Through a review of the literature on infrastructure, a study of internationalexperiences, expert knowledge, and the elaboration of a Territorial Infrastructure SupportIndex (ISIT), this paper provides a comparative analysis of the development conditions –regarding infrastructure and services – for the location of productive economic activities,at the regional and provincial level in Chile. The results show contrasts between regionsand within them, revealing the state of the current situation for each of the six dimensions:Water, Energy, Telecommunications, Roads, Logistics, and Resilience, as well as for theirsynthetic indicator ISIT. The results of the ISIT have been contrasted with the recentdefinitions made by the Government of Chile regarding the definition of lag zones, findingimportant coincidences at the provincial level that allow validating the ISIT as a tool forthe analysis of gaps in infrastructure and equipment for development of economic andproductive activities in Chile.

    The role of socio-territorial conditions and distance to infrastructure for promoting recycling in Latin American cities: The case of Santiago de Chile
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2023) Valenzuela Levi, Nicolás Darío; Flores Castillo, Mónica Andrea
    Convenient distances and higher density of drop-off points are expected to increase the probability of people participating in waste separation. However, although several analyses search for optimal distances between users and drop-off points, they tend to concentrate on European case studies. Few studies have analysed the actuallyexisting experiences regarding these factors in cities from the Global South. In this context, the authors provide an analysis on Santiago, the capital of Chile. A survey (N = 387) is generated to represent five neighbourhood clusters, and a logit binary outcome model is used to analyse the data. The research also considers territorial conditions based on the specific characteristics of the Latin American cities, particularly socioeconomic variables and location (i.e. centre versus periphery). The findings point towards a prominent role of educational levels, and an inverted U relationship between proximity to drop off points and the probability of recycling. Additionally, in the case of metals, results indicate that probability of recycling is higher both in the areas that concentrate the poor and in those that concentrate the rich. Such result is most likely associated to a contrasting relationship between recycling and socioeconomic variables: one linked to the need of generating income, and the other to privilege (i.e. conspicuous consumption and domestic workers).
