OJEDA, Lautaro; MANSILLA QUINONES, Pablo; RODRIGUEZ, Juan Carlos e PINO VASQUEZ, Andrea. The access to water in informal settlements. The case of Valparaíso, Chile. Bitácora Urbano Territorial [online]. 2020, vol.30, n.1, pp.151-165. Epub 06-Abr-2020. ISSN 0124-7913. https://doi.org/10.15446/bitacora.v30n1.72205.
The present article aims at analyzing the implications of the nonexistent drinking water coverage, sewage, fire hydrants and rainwater collectors in informal settlements in the city of Valparaiso; shortage of facilities that is partially caused due to water privatization as part of Chilean neoliberal model. The informal habitat has become an approach to urban development that defies, in varied dimensions, the developmental models of local governments in the Global South. Chile is a good example of this, since the country confronts a neoliberal paradigm that during the decade of the eighties tended to privatize all basic services among which the privatization of sanitization companies can be highlighted as it led to the elimination of the state management of water access. Through a spatial analysis, the data obtained from the different orthophotogramatic studies with the use of an R.P.A.S dispositive (drone) have been contrasted with census registers about ground property and the extent to which water is provided by private companies. The results revealed that the absence of water infrastructure in the Urban Forest Interface Zone (UFIZ) in which most of the informal settlements of Valparaíso are located generates unequal access to water that maintains and reinforces the conditions of exclusion and socio-spatial segregation of these.
