ABSTRACT

The case of Tumbes is analyzed in the context of one of the over 70 coves in the Region del Bío-Bío considered “fragile territories”; this forms a territory system with unique characteristics, besides a high geographical, cultural and microeconomic potential. Through the use of project strategy methodology, approaches to current problems are determined, but above all, these are understood as opportunities for future projection. The hypothesis suggests that urban infrastructures, increasingly complex, encourage territory restructuring based on urban scenarios that meet the needs of users in complex, dynamic and degraded territories. In this context, the work done can be designed, applying the methodology in different “fragile territories” that make up the identity of the regional border, building long-term strategies, operating from the perspective of a territory system.
