Abstract

This article presents some results obtained during the development of the Project IPGH-OEA GEO 2.1.2.3 .4. entitled "Expansion of the Viticulture and its relation with the Local Development in Casablanca (Chile) and Mendoza (Argentina)", whereby, the potential for the development of the Viticulture in the commune of Casablanca is analyzed. This is an economic activity that marks the specialization of the valley since its modernization and productive reconversion, and, along with the space location of agro-industries denominated "warehouses boutiques", stands out in the rural landscape of the commune. The limitations that threaten the future expansion of the viticulture in the valley of Casablanca are also analyzed, with specifi c reference to the shortage of water resources in terms of precipitations, irrigation infrastructure, and systems of irrigated land, in addition to the possible competition of new productive or exporting regions, which represents a serious limitation for the sustainable development of the activity.
