Abstract

In face of the severe damage caused by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami of February 27 - 2010 on the coast of the central-southern zone of Chile, especially in small coastal communities who live from the sea, both from fi shing and from local tourism, it is always possible to draw positive lessons from the reconstruction process that allow to improve the quality and security of these settlements. This study addresses the specifi c case of the planning process of the coastal settlements of Tubul, Llico and Tirúa located in the province of Arauco, in the Bio Bio Region.

This article presents a synthetic vision of the urban effects of the catastrophe, from a geographical point of view, and points out at the main actions being undertaken to ensure a sustainable reconstruction and to contribute to improve the quality of life of its inhabitants.
