PRIORITYMEASURE84
“Promote the use of georeferenced, sociodemographic analysis, disaggregated by sex, race and ethnicity,
to improve territorial planningand environmental riskmanagement.”
Possible lines of action
1. Provide training in demographic analysis topics at the local level; 2. Incorporate sociodemographic information on the entire
population, as well as on population subgroups disaggregated by sex, age, race, ethnic origin and geographical location, into baseline
studies, diagnostic analyses andmonitoring systems using GIS at different territorial scales; 3. Coordinate with the various national and
subnational government bodies on the actions needed for the design and implementation of GIS with information for planning the
territory (cities, specific areas within the city, environmental risk zones) and for managing or programming various actions when an
environmental disaster strikes; 4. Promote the availability, improvement and use of data sources, for example territorially disaggregated
censuses and population forecasts so as to allow this type of analysis at different scales, and train technical personnel in their use and in
the various procedures and analyses that can be conducted.
Targets
1. Have at hand diagnoses or studies that include geo-referenced sociodemographic indicators that can be used to analyse these issues at
different geographical scales and that establish the baseline for territorial and environmental policies; 2. Have monitoring systems, both
for preventing environmental disasters and for assessing their impact, which include a set of geo-referenced sociodemographic indicators
for characterizing the population at risk; 3. Universal access to census data and other information sources for all users (involved in
achieving these targets).
Tentative indicators
1. Percentage of GIS analytic instruments that contain geo-referenced sociodemographic information; 2. Percentage of municipal or local
master plans that, in their preamble, provide for disaggregatedandgeo-referenced sociodemographic analysis; 3. Percentageof environmental
riskmanagement plans that includegeo-referenced sociodemographic analysis in their diagnoses before, during and after the event.

forums andmechanisms
This PM is also related to theMINURVI SantiagoDeclaration, which agrees to establish homogeneousmethodologies and indicators for
comparing the performance of cities inorder tooptimize regional strategies and strengthen them through cooperation.
Comments
It must be borne inmind that the indicators are not easy to construct, as there is no information currently available on this issue. Thus, in
order to monitor this priority measure, the necessary data sources will have to be created. This measure is linked with PM 82 and the
measures under chapterH.
These measures are complementary to PM 90 and PM 98, in terms of generating disaggregated information for indigenous peoples and
Afro-descendants, respectively.
