The “Beautiful Forest" Toma, Lampa 2022
El movimiento de las personas en el territorio Entenderemos el inicio de esta exploración en la identificación de los componentes del fenómeno de las tomas y de las circunstancias que lo determinan. Donde la toma de terreno es un acto de apropiación de un territorio por parte de un colectivo que se ha movilizado para satisfacer sus necesidades básicas. En su libro How Is Your City? ( ¿Cómo es tu ciudad? ), el sociólogo Richard Florida plantea que las personas deben enfrentar durante su vida tres decisiones relevantes, ¿qué quiero hacer en la vida?, ¿con quién lo quiero hacer? y ¿dónde lo quiero hacer?, siendo esta última la de mayor incidencia. La necesidad de moverse hacia lugares que entreguen las condiciones de desarrollo ha acompañado a la humani- dad desde sus orígenes. El geógrafo Edward Soja habla del “sinequismo” como la noción de aglomeración urbana que ha potenciado los procesos de urbanización. El sentido de reunión, del encuentro, de la conformación de una comunidad. Según Parag Khanna (2021), esta movilidad será potenciada en el futuro: “Todos estamos en busca de la combinación correcta de latitud y actitud. El futuro de la movilidad humana apunta en una sola dirección: más. Las próximas décadas podrían ser testigo de miles de millo- nes de personas en movimiento, moviéndose
determine it. The toma is an act of appropri- ating territory by a collective group that has mobilized to satisfy its basic needs. In his book, How Is Your City? sociologist Richard Florida states that people must face three relevant decisions during their lives: what do they want to do in life, with whom do they want to do it, and where do they want to do it? The latter being the most important. The need to move to places that provide conditions of development has accompanied humanity since its origins. The geographer Edward Soja speaks of "synechism" as the notion of urban crowding that has enhanced the urbanization processes. The sense of gathering, of encountering, of forming a community. According to Parag Khanna (2021), this movement will be enhanced in the future: "We are all in search of the right combination of lat- itude and attitude. The future of human move- ment points in only one direction: more. The next few decades could see billions of people on the move, moving from south to north, from coast to inland, from low to higher elevations, from expensive to affordable societies, from failed to stable societies." Movement will be a constant in the devel- opment of the planet and Chile must be pre- pared for this changing and demanding context. The growing expectation of citizens to have a
these demands, beyond the State's ability to provide social housing. The current government has proposed to build 260,000 houses during the four years of its administration through an Emergency Housing Plan. This new goal recognizes that the problem will have to be faced by several governments with a view to planning, diversifying, and decen- tralizing. This will mean addressing the housing conditions of those who are living informally while waiting for more permanent solutions. This article presents the possibility to have a theoretical-practical way of approaching the problem dynamically and permanently. Through what is called the " Tomas´ open model", which proposes to initiate a process to build and cal- ibrate a collaborative management model. In the form of an open question, the model´s main components are first recognized and then a process of ongoing, civic, and continuous im- provement is proposed. The model will look for variables and relationships over requirements, hoping to build an instrument that finds the balance between the habitability demands and the system's ability to provide solutions. The People's Movement in the Territory We can understand the beginning of this ex- ploration by identifying the components of the tomas phenomenon and the circumstances that
