La dimensión espacial de los conflictos ambientales en Chile

due to lack of territorial vision in a national scale, which reveals the pattern of current environmental conflicts in chile, we propose the constructionof a synthetic index of social vulnerability, with support in the politicaladministrative analysis unit of local government, with the location of environmentalconflicts reported by non-governmental organization groups. this will allowstudying the spatial relationship existing, in order to determine which profile ofterritorial units bear a greater impossition of negative externalities generated byprivate investment projects. also, the approach allows quantifying the levels ofenvironmental justice in the country.
