Abstract

Strategic intervention of green areas in cities with environmental problems can be an opportunity for sustainable urban development under an integral and systemic planning point of view. This study approaches the potential of natural systems inserted in the urban area of Temuco to contribute to environmental, socio-cultural and economic pertinence of the city. Methodologically, a cadaster was constructed with GIS and field work, which allowed the quantitative-qualitative evaluation of landscape indicators associated to the endowment, distribution and accessibility of green areas. We identify that despite surpassing the WHO’s standard, there are problems of territorial equality and integration with existing natural systems within the city. Therefore, this good standard of surface area is not contributing to sustainable development, mitigation of environmental problems or natural risks. This favored by Chilean urban regulations that encourage the development of green remnant area.
