          Abstract

          RESUMEN Las ciudades intermedias se caracterizan por una gran cantidad de interacciones con su territorio circundante y con otras ciudades, lo que implica un desafío para sus gobiernos locales. El presente trabajo aborda estos desafíos desde los procesos de intermediación y en las distintas escalas que generan las prácticas espaciales. La metodología empleada es mixta, con el trabajo estructurado a partir del enfoque cualitativo de metodologías móviles, complementado con un análisis de conmutaciones intercomunales. Los resultados dan cuenta de que en los principales nodos de intermediación de la región, los gobiernos locales enfrentan importantes desafíos derivados de los procesos mismos de intermediación, específicamente en materia de vialidad y crecimiento urbano, a la vez que subestiman la relevancia de las dinámicas interculturales en el territorio. Se concluye que abordar estos elementos es fundamental para comprender los procesos escalares que enfrentan los gobiernos locales, para así poder planificar en dirección a la sustentabilidad local.

          ABSTRACT Local governments of intermediate cities face significant challenges regarding their interactions with surrounding areas, as well as with other cities. The present article deals with such challenges, based on two conceptual frameworks: intermediation processes, and scale. The methodological focus utilizes a qualitative approach, based on mobile methodologies, complemented by a quantitative commuting assessment. The results show that local governments from the main intermediation nodes in the Region of La Araucanía face problems related with intermediation process, specifically regarding urban sprawl and roadways. Furthermore, local governments underestimate indigenous dynamics within and between cities, which is a key element in the region. The results allow us to conclude that scalar gaps represent a key problem for local governments of intermediate cities, which must be resolved in order to improve planning processes and enhance the local sustainability of such cities.
