Abstract

Considering the roles how biological corridor of the lower hydrological system of the Mapocho River, pointing to their integration in the urban planning of the respective communes from an ecologic, environmental and social perspective, is carried on a research about their geomorphological and landscape characteristics and the processes that are leading the evolution of the landscape. With this knowledge and from an ecosystemic perspective of the river territory, the limits of different homogeneous units were determined. Any geomorphological unit recognized, meaning also landscape systems, was characterized by its geology, sedimentology, soils and drainage, hydro-morphodynamic processes and human intervention, which allows through the determination of the quality and fragility of the geomorphic-landscape units, to establish land use proposals with their corresponding scopes on qualifications and restrictions. The resulting mapping contains implicit a proposal for land-use planning from the ecological planning point of view.
