Segregación socio-espacial en una urbe turística de elite: El caso de Pucón, Chile

Abstract

This article discuss the results of a research focused on distinctions about the territorial development model of Chilean city Pucón as an urban settlement. By means of qualitative methodology based on interviews and documental review, this phenomenon was interpreted using Niklas Luhmann social systems theory. It was concluded that the segregated urban settlement is communicated as a permanent tension between the semantics of territorial development and the role of local tourism.
