Chilean geography exposes the country to high-level risks such as earthquakes and tsunamis. The disasters of 1930, 1960, 2010, and 2014 testify to the continuous link between human survival and disasters. However, new hazards have appeared ever since –i.e. flood waterlogging, wildfires, and landslides–, highlighting the relationship between current land uses and space occupation with increasing levels of disaster risk. This research aims to determine relations and responsibilities of the Chilean developmental approach in urban planning and territorial governance processes that have created new territories prone to disaster risk. We resort to a longitudinal analysis from 1930 to 2018 at the Gran Concepción metropolitan area as a proxy of Chilean industrialization and economic development approaches. To do so, we developed mixed-approach descriptive research, for which we collected data from national development policies and documented land occupation processes during pre-dictatorship, dictatorship and post-dictatorship periods. Semi-structured interviews with decision-makers involved in current territorial policy were also carried out. The findings show how territorial governance resulted from political visions around different development paths, wherein the concept of risk is weakly perceived among decision-makers. This perception is linked to narrow economic goals and the understanding of land as a barely regulated marketable asset, profoundly affected by segregated urban planning.

智利的地理位置使该国面临地震和海啸等高风险。1930 年、1960 年、2010 年和 2014 年的灾难证明了人类生存与灾难之间的持续联系。然而，从那以后，新的灾害出现了——即洪水内涝、野火和山体滑坡——突出了当前土地利用与空间占用之间的关系，灾害风险水平不断提高。本研究旨在确定智利发展方法在城市规划和领土治理过程中的关系和责任，这些过程创造了容易发生灾害风险的新领土。我们采用 1930 年至 2018 年在 Gran Concepción 大都市区的纵向分析，作为智利工业化和经济发展方法的代表。为此，我们开展了混合方法的描述性研究，为此我们收集了来自国家发展政策的数据，并记录了独裁前、独裁和后独裁时期的土地占用过程。还对参与当前领土政策的决策者进行了半结构化访谈。研究结果表明，领土治理是如何由围绕不同发展路径的政治愿景产生的，其中决策者对风险概念的认知较弱。这种看法与狭隘的经济目标以及将土地理解为几乎不受监管的有价资产有关，并受到隔离的城市规划的深刻影响。独裁时期和独裁后时期。还对参与当前领土政策的决策者进行了半结构化访谈。研究结果表明，领土治理是如何由围绕不同发展路径的政治愿景产生的，其中决策者对风险概念的认知较弱。这种看法与狭隘的经济目标以及将土地理解为几乎不受监管的有价资产有关，并受到隔离的城市规划的深刻影响。独裁时期和独裁后时期。还对参与当前领土政策的决策者进行了半结构化访谈。研究结果表明，领土治理是如何由围绕不同发展路径的政治愿景产生的，其中决策者对风险概念的认知较弱。这种看法与狭隘的经济目标以及将土地理解为几乎不受监管的有价资产有关，并受到隔离的城市规划的深刻影响。
