Sesiones
En una línea: El concejo recibió la presentación del diagnóstico comunal integrado del PLADECO 2026–2030, documento que identifica 148 brechas en cinco dimensiones y que debe ser aprobado por etapas antes de su publicación final.
Temas tratados
- Avance del PLADECO 2026–2030: El equipo consultor (Maximiliano Galaz y Carlos Astudio) expuso el diagnóstico comunal integrado, construido con consultas en 42 de 46 localidades y fichas técnicas de cada dirección municipal.
- Seguridad ciudadana: La demanda prioritaria de los vecinos es el patrullaje preventivo municipal, con déficit de cobertura horaria nocturna y rural.
- Ordenamiento territorial: La comuna crece de forma dispersa en suelo rural, con baja densidad urbana, conectividad transversal deficiente y brechas en áreas verdes y acceso a servicios básicos.
- Salud: El CESFAM atiende aproximadamente 40.000 usuarios cuando fue diseñado para 30.000; hay déficit en salud mental, infraestructura de postas rurales e información sanitaria.
- Adulto mayor: La población comunal envejece a un ritmo levemente superior al regional, lo que exige planificar servicios de cuidado, accesibilidad y autonomía económica.
- Organizaciones comunitarias: Se identificó debilidad en el tejido social como factor que limita la cogobernanza y la formulación conjunta de soluciones.
Acuerdos y votaciones
- No se registraron votaciones en esta sesión. La secretaria municipal aclaró que lo que se someterá a acuerdo en una sesión posterior son dos documentos: el Diagnóstico Comunal Integrado (documento extenso) y la Imagen Objetivo Comunal, antes de pasar al COSOC.
Plata y obras
- No se mencionaron montos, licitaciones ni modificaciones presupuestarias en la parte transcrita.
Puntos de debate o controversia
- Un concejal (nombre no identificable con certeza en la transcripción) planteó que habría sido preferible actualizar y verificar las demandas ciudadanas, dado que la consulta se realizó en 2022–2023, en contexto de postpandemia, cuando la participación pudo estar condicionada por el temor a reunirse.
- Varios concejales recordaron que una versión anterior del PLADECO, presentada a fines de 2024, fue rechazada por considerarse poco representativa; valoraron que la versión actual incorporó esas observaciones.
Para seguir
- Someter a votación del concejo el Diagnóstico Comunal Integrado y la Imagen Objetivo Comunal en sesión futura.
- Llevar ambos documentos al COSOC para consulta ciudadana representativa.
- Incorporar al PLADECO los resultados de la política comunal de cambio climático y del plan de patrimonio cultural, ambos en elaboración.
- El alcalde retoma la presidencia del concejo el lunes siguiente (según se menciona al inicio de la sesión).

How it has changedSource: Official INE series 2002–2026 (2017 base).
See the full trajectory to 2050 →INE projects comuna population only through 2035; the 2050 values are an own estimate by the monitor, anchored to the official INE 2050 national total (21,626,079 inhab, 32.1% aged 60+). Not an official comuna figure.

The PAES year is that of the admission process: the test is sat in November of the previous year. The average covers only those who registered to apply to university —not every secondary-school graduate— and groups them by the comuna of the school they graduated from, not by where the student lives. Here it rests on 895 students registered for the PAES.

Foreign-born populationSource: 2024 Census · INE

Housing and housing deficitSource: MINVU (Encampment Registry + 2024 Census deficit + subsidies) · INE
Encampments: MINVU National Registry 2024 (irregular settlements and the families living in them). Quantitative deficit: homes missing per the 2024 Census (doubling-up + unrecoverable overcrowding). Permits: new homes authorized by the Works Directorate in 2024 (INE) — measures future construction, not stock. Subsidies: MINVU by application comuna — DS49 accrues beneficiaries by resolution year; DS01 and DS52 accrue payments by application cohort (national totals in the source file differ ~1–6% from the comuna sum; the comuna series is published).

Roads and motorwaysSource: OpenStreetMap · 2026 snapshot
Road infrastructure of the MOP and concession holders, not the municipality: it measures how much highway crosses the territory, not municipal management. Only comunas with roads of this category are counted.
Environment and air qualitySource: MMA · SINCA + PPDA + RETC
No air monitoring station (SINCA) in the comuna.
Air quality observed at MMA's SINCA stations within the comuna (2020); when there are several, the worst is shown. The scale compares the annual average with the WHO 2021 guideline (PM2.5 = 5 · PM10 = 15 µg/m³, international health reference) and the Chilean annual primary standard (PM2.5 = 20 · PM10 = 50 µg/m³): green within the WHO guideline, amber between guideline and standard, red above the national standard. "Days above standard" use the 24-h daily standard (PM2.5 = 50 · PM10 = 150 µg/m³). RETC emissions = declared point sources (industry/energy), excludes diffuse sources like residential firewood.
Biodiversity and protected areasSource: SNASPE · SEIA baselines
Species of flora, fauna and funga documented in the baselines of the projects evaluated by SEIA in the comuna — what their environmental studies recorded in the territory. Conservation status (RCE/IUCN) and Chilean endemism are flagged.
CR critically endangered · EN endangered · VU vulnerable · NT near threatened (Species Classification Regulation / IUCN). ★ endemic to Chile. Extracted from SEIA studies by kingdom; presence reflects what baselines characterized, not a census.

Area = hectares of wetland within the comuna boundary (apportioned using the DPA table of each record). For wetlands shared between comunas, "portion / total" is shown. "Urban" = urban wetland (HUR code). Official source migrated to the SBAP (Law 21,600).
Large projects approved by SEIASource: SEIA · approved projects
Projects with an environmental permit (RCA) approved by SEIA and declared investment above US$ 10 million, located in the comuna according to the case file and grouped by sector. Every sector with at least one project is listed: this is not a ranking or a selection. 12 projects totaling US$ 142 million, approved between 1998 and 2026. When a project spans several comunas, its investment is split among them.
Approved is not the same as built or operating: the RCA authorises the project, but some were never carried out and others have since closed.
Source: projects with an RCA approved by SEIA (investment declared by the developer, split among the comunas the project spans). Under each sector are its two largest projects by investment. It is the best public proxy for large industrial sites; SERNAGEOMIN’s registry of active mining operations (by mineral and type of operation) is a layer not yet incorporated.
Basic utilitiesSource: SISS · CNE · MINEDUC
Almost no comuna has its own utility: it is served by a major regional concession holder. Water = urban operational territory (SISS; rural goes via APR); electric = concession distributor per the tariff decree (CNE); higher education = university, IP and CFT campuses (MINEDUC/SIES), with the nearest comuna when there are none.

Water scarcitySource: DGA · MOP (scarcity-zone decrees)
DGA water-scarcity zone decrees (by comuna, province or region; basin decrees are not counted here, so chronicity is a floor). The decree enables extraordinary water redistribution measures. At the megadrought's peak (2021) 286 comunas were under decree; today 26.

Road crashesSource: CONASET · Data Observatory (2024)
Crashes georeferenced by CONASET (urban + highway) during 2024. The only per-comuna source; covers ~70% of the country's deaths (non-geolocatable ones are excluded), so it slightly underestimates the total. Pedestrian collision is the leading cause of pedestrian death.
