ABSTRACT

This manuscript reviews the urban growth process in the Temuco-Padre las Casas conurbation (Chile) on indigenous land, highlighting three topics of great interest. First, the ability of legislation to regulate the protection of indigenous land. Second, the role played by the real estate sector as the main protagonist of urban expansion on indigenous land. Finally, the subsidiary role of those who should be the main actors: indigenous communities. The consequence is a process of material and symbolic dispossession of the Mapuche population, which reinforces the dynamics of settler colonialism existing in the region and presents parallels and divergences with other international cases. For this, the methodology used combined quantitative data with qualitative information, spatializing the former and giving greater weight to the latter as an interpretive key. The results reflect a disagreement between a legislation incapable of regulating urban growth and responding to indigenous demands, and a reality marked by increasing pressure on the Mapuche population and lands. This shows a situation that is present in Chile but can be extrapolated to other countries in the region.

摘要

这份手稿回顾了 Temuco-Padre las Casas 大都市（智利）在土著土地上的城市发展过程，突出了三个非常感兴趣的主题。第一，立法规范土著土地保护的能力。其次，房地产部门作为土著土地上城市扩张的主要主角所发挥的作用。最后，那些应该成为主要参与者的辅助角色：土著社区。结果是马普切人在物质上和象征性上被剥夺的过程，这加强了该地区存在的定居者殖民主义的动力，并与其他国际案例存在相似之处和分歧。为此，该方法结合了定量数据和定性信息，将前者空间化并给予后者更大的权重作为解释的关键。结果反映了无法调节城市增长和响应土著需求的立法与马普切人口和土地面临的压力越来越大的现实之间的分歧。这显示了智利存在的情况，但可以推断到该地区的其他国家。
