Sammanfattning:The paper contains a summary of historical and cultural elements which allow for the understanding of the increasing number of illegal settlement cases (Tomas de Terreno) in Viña del Mar which are also called Chanty towns (Asentamientos Precarios). Data allow us to state that these settlements are not a new phenomena in Viña del Mar and that they have a long history with their leaders, collaborators, accomplices, beneficiaries and opponents. They are an expression of the presence of the social group called dwellers (pobladores) or as they will be called here, chanty town dwellers (Poblantes). Another set of data reveal the criteria which different actors have: the city hall technician, the NGO professional, the land's owner, the social organization's leader, the chanty town dweller, the SERVIU director and the written press. All the above mentioned factors allow us to understand some of the mechanisms of access to land for dwelling purposes and an aspect of urban development for popular sectors.
