Abstract

This paper proposes territorial scenarios for decision making in order to prevent desertification processes in the Puangue basin, in the Metropolitan Region of the Santiago, Chile. The above is done through the implementation of a system of indicators of environmental dangerousness for desertification in a local scale. As a result, the identified territory in areas at risk to desertification and the projection is constructed with climate change, concluding on the need to generate action to prevent further desertification. This document becomes an approach to integrated local knowledge for the preventive management of the areas at risk to desertification.
