This paper aims to explore the elements that condition and limit spatial planning processes for developing wildfire understanding from wildfire information. The central argument of this paper is that spatial planning’s ability to develop wildfire understanding from new evidence and experience is critical for improving spatial planning systems to better integrate wildfire considerations to promote settlements’ resilience to wildfires. The research involved using an inductive qualitative research approach for two case studies: Victoria (Australia) and Chile’s spatial planning processes for developing wildfire understanding from wildfire information. Based on the analysis of the case studies and cross-case synthesis, key elements that challenge planning processes were identified, and herein, they are discussed in terms of four general categories of the process of knowledge development: (a) identification; (b) ‘co-generation’; (c) reframing; and (d) implementation. The study identifies that the Victorian and Chilean spatial planning systems often fail to give spatial planning meaning to new and dynamic wildfire information due to key elements that constrain the processes of knowledge development. This implies that new wildfire information often does not translate into improvements in the planning system, which in turn entails missing the opportunity to promote settlements’ resilience to wildfires.

En zonas de interfaz urbano-rural expuestas a incendios forestales, es fundamental que la planificación territorial se adapte para integrar medidas de reducción del riesgo. Sin embargo, pocos estudios han examinado las interacciones históricas entre la gestión de incendios forestales y la planificación territorial, y cómo sus instituciones e instrumentos se han adaptado para aumentar su integración a través del tiempo. Por consiguiente, el objetivo de esta investigación es examinar la evolución del sistema de planificación territorial chileno en su incorporación de medidas para la gestión del riesgo de los incendios forestales. Se utiliza una estrategia de análisis cualitativo de estudio de caso. Se presenta una cronología de la planificación territorial chilena y su integración de los incendios forestales caracterizada en cinco períodos. Los resultados muestran progresivos esfuerzos para mejorar la manera en que la planificación territorial aborda los incendios forestales, sin embargo, éstos también evidencian que características del contexto histórico condicionan y limitan su capacidad de hacerlo. Esta investigación contribuye al entendimiento del sistema de planificación chileno y su relación con los incendios forestales, aportando a la discusión internacional sobre los factores que condicionan la integración de políticas de reducción de riesgo de desastres en diversos contextos.

From the experience gained since the beginning of the pandemic, we can affirm that not everything can be taught online or everything in person. Now, there is a gap that it is important to identify in a teaching that articulates the fase-to-face-online and to know the optimal dosaje to guarantee quality training. Everything indicates that both systems should converse in a hybrid methodology, or, better said, balanced or harmonized. The challenge is to define the proportion of each thing, both in time and intensity. It seems that, in the conquest of this necessary balance or harmony, “collaborative intelligence” offers unsuspected rules of the game. Increasingly we can find this questioning in various institutions around the world and not only referred to the field of architecture education but in all those áreas in which, in the transition from knowing to doing, they seek new meanings. De la experiencia aquilatada desde el comienzo de la pandemia podemos afirmar que no se puede enseñar todo online o todo de forma presencial. Ahora bien, hay una brecha que es importante identificar en una enseñanza que articule lo presencial-online y saber la dosificación óptima para garantizar una formación de calidad. Todo indica que deberían conversar ambos sistemas en una metodología híbrida, o, mejor dicho, equilibrada o armonizada. El desafío está en definir la proporción de cada cosa, tanto en tiempo como en intensidad. ¡Pareciera ser que, en la conquista de éste necesario equilibrio o armonía, la “inteligencia colaborativa! Ofrece insospechadas reglas del juego. Cada vez más podemos encontrar este cuestionamiento en diversas instituciones en todo el mundo y no sólo referido al ámbito de la enseñanza de la arquitectura, sino en todos aquellos ámbitos en los que, en el tránsito del saber al hacer, buscan nuevos significados.

Abstract. Wildland–urban interface (WUI) regions are particularly vulnerable to wildfires due to their proximity to both nature and urban developments, posing significant risks to lives and property. To enhance our understanding of the risk profiles in WUI areas, we analysed seven fire case studies in central Chile. We developed a mixed-method approach for conducting local-scale analyses, which involved field surveys, remote-sensing through satellite and drone imagery, and GIS-based analysis of the collected data. The methodology led to the generation of a georeferenced dataset of damaged and undamaged dwellings, including 16 variables representing their physical characteristics, spatial arrangement, and the availability of fire suppression resources. A binary classification model was then used to assess the relative importance of these attributes as indicators of vulnerability. The analysis revealed that spatial arrangement factors have a greater impact on damage prediction than the structural conditions and fire preparedness of individual units. Specifically, factors such as dwelling proximity to neighbours, distance to vegetation, proximity to the border of dwelling groups, and distance from the origin of the fire substantially contribute to the prediction of fire damage. Other structural attributes associated with less affluent homes may also increase the likelihood of damage, although further data are required for confirmation. This study provides insights for the design, planning, and governance of WUI areas in Chile, aiding the development of risk mitigation strategies for both built structures and the broader territorial area.

One of the advantages of face-to-face classes is being able to interact directly with all students at the same time and being able to provide feedback on their learning in a timely manner. At the same time, students can observe and compare their work with that of their classmates, forming a collaborative workshop, also having the opportunity to have a co-evaluation between peers. In this Project workshop subject for beginner students, to generate collective instances an collaborative feedback with the purpouse tha students can advance in learning without difficulties, understanding trial-error as part of their educactional process. On the other hand, as it is an introductory course in the career, it is important that students understand the creative process in an analogous way so tha they are the ones who obtain a project reflection and not the resulto f the computer and technology. Una de las ventajas de las clases presenciales, es poder interactual directamente con los todos los estudiantes a la vez y poder retroalimentar su aprendizaje oportunamente. Al mismo tiempo los alumnos pueden observar y comparar sus trabajos con los de sus compañeros formando un taller colaborativo teniendo la oportunidad de tener además una co-evaluación entre pares.. En esta asignatura de taller de proyectos para estudiantes principiantes es muy importante generar instancias colectivas y colaborativas de retroalimentación con el propósito que el alumnado pueda avanzar en el aprendizaje sin dificultades entendiendo el ensayo – error como parte de su proceso educativo. Por otro lado al ser una asignatura de iniciación de la carrera, es importante que los estudiantes comprendan el proceso creativo de forma análoga de tal forma que sean ellos los que obtengan una reflexión proyectual y no el resultado del computador y la tecnología.
