Neoliberalism and socio-spatial transformations in urban coves of the Metropolitan Area of Concepción. The cases of Caleta Los Bagres and Caleta Cocholgüe, Tomé

The coves of Chile are coastal settlements focused on small-scale artisanal fishing. Currently, they coexist with larger urbanized systems-mega infrastructures, ports, cities, etc.-which generate tensions and threats to traditional socio-cultural, economic and habitability practices.

description The coves of Chile are coastal settlements focused on small-scale artisanal fishing. Currently, they coexist with larger urbanized systems-mega infrastructures, ports, cities, etc.-which generate tensions and threats to traditional socio-cultural, economic and habitability practices. The article explores these tensions, focusing on the cases of Los Bagres and Cocholgüe in the municipality of Tomé, Metropolitan Area of Concepción. To do this, it proposes to understand the socio-spatial transformation processes of the coves, and their adaptation strategies to the effects of the neoliberal development model. The research methodology is qualitative, based on a combination of social and spatial analysis, incorporating information gathering techniques such as review of bibliographic sources, conducting semi-structured interviews, field survey, and information processing and analysis, based on to the organization of transformation processes and adaptation strategies, which are mapped and schematized. This evolution is organized in phases, accompanied by interpretation maps of urban growth. The results have allowed us to reflect on the fragilities of the creeks on two levels. First, in their internal configuration as places that combine life and work, because when the resource that gave birth to them is reduced, their sustainability is put at risk. Second, in its exposure to processes of invisibility or eradication, which describe the levels of their integration into urban environments. Finally, it has allowed us to reflect on the need to preserve and value their ways of life and the spaces that account for them, as a central part of the identity and sustainability of the coastal urban territories of the country.

Las caletas de Chile son asentamientos litorales centrados en la pesca artesanal a pequeña escala, que conviven con sistemas urbanizados mayores –grandes infraestructuras, puertos y ciudades– lo que genera tensiones y amenazas a sus prácticas socioculturales, económicas y de habitabilidad tradicionales. El articulo explora estas tensiones, centrándose en los casos de las caletas de Los Bagres y Cocholgüe, en la comuna de Tomé, Área Metropolitana de Concepción. Para ello, propone comprender los procesos de transformación socio-espacial de éstas caletas, y sus estrategias de adaptación a los efectos del modelo de desarrollo neoliberal. La metodología de investigación es cualitativa, en base a un análisis social y espacial, incorporando técnicas de recolección de información como revisión de fuentes bibliográficas, realización de entrevistas semi-estructuradas, levantamiento de campo, y procesamiento y análisis de los procesos de transformación y estrategias de adaptación, que se mapean y esquematizan. Las transformaciones se organizan en fases, acompañadas de mapas de interpretación del crecimiento urbano. Los resultados han permitido reflexionar en torno a las fragilidades de las caletas en dos niveles. Primero, en su configuración interna como lugares que combinan vida y trabajo, ya que cuando merma el recurso que las hizo nacer, se pone en riesgo su sostenibilidad. Segundo, en su exposición a procesos de invisibilización o erradicación, que describen los niveles de integración de ellas a los entornos urbanos. Finalmente, ha permitido reflexionar en torno a la necesidad de preservar y poner en valor sus modos de vida y los espacios que dan cuenta de ellos, como parte central de la identidad y sostenibilidad de los territorios urbanos litorales del país.
