Abstract
Analysis of the state of territorial planning tools of the coastal zone of the Maule Region (Central Chile) are made and compared with spatial units of a detailed scale of environmental fragility and tsunami risk. Notice is made of the precariousness and scarce incorporation of environmental considerations of these tools. In this sense, a zonification that allows for the incorporation of environmental variables is proposed for the planification tools of the coastal zone.
