Territorial planning of the mining township of Chima (Bolivia)

Abstract:

The present work reports how the landslide of the 300 m high Puca Loma hill, which is the current open pit gold mine exploited by Cooperativa Aurifera Chima Limitada, and other negative circumstances of natural and anthropic origin, recommend the relocation of the mining town of Chima (Bolivia) for safety reasons. The initiatives taken to achieve this are also described. Such initiatives were carried out by an international and multidisciplinary technical team of CYTED (Ciencia y Tecnologia para el Desarrollo) which is made up by engineers, architects and social licenciates from Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador Argentina, Cuba, Brazil and Spain, with the sporadic help of Bolivian authorities. This experience may be considered a punctual planning of the Chima mining region.
