Hydrosocial power and territorial transformation: a case study of the Longaví River sub-basin in south-central Chile
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article examines the configuration of hydrosocial territories (HST) and hydrosocial power (HSP) in the Longaví River sub-basin of south-central Chile. Drawing on land-use change analysis, documentary review, and interviews with key actors, we characterize how agricultural intensification and forestry expansion have reshaped both landscapes and water governance over the past three decades. The results show that HSP operates through infrastructure, discourses, and institutions that concentrate water rights and decision-making power in the hands of a few dominant actors. These dynamics reinforce historical and colonial configurations of HST, reproducing socio-environmental inequalities and marginalizing small-scale farmers and local communities. Such path-dependent processes not only constrain the emergence of alternative governance arrangements but also undermine the sustainability of water resource management amid increasing scarcity. By tracing socio-spatial dynamics, the study contributes to understanding how power asymmetries are embedded in hydrosocial relations and discusses their implications for advancing more equitable water governance in Chile and similar contexts.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
