the ethnographic survey carried out between 2006 and 2015 among family groups from various socio-economic backgrounds in Santiago revealed that the residential interdependence of urban family relationships is limited, through the formation of 'house configurations'. Criticising the dominant approach to the census, questions the patterns of residential traffic within such configurations, as interpreted and meant from an indigenous point of view. The analysis of two ethnographic cases shows that daily movements between houses are not only 'facts' resulting from practical problems or basic demographic, economic or urban conditions, as highlighted in literature. From a native point of view, the direction, frequency and mode of residential travel are interpreted as 'gestures' that activate intersubjective recognition language, configure more symmetrical or asymmetric forms of household interdependence. ; L'enquête ethnographique que j'ai menée entre 2006 et 2015 auprès de groupes familiaux issus de divers milieux socioéconomiques à Santiago a révélé l'importance des rapports d'interdépendance résidentielle de la parenté en milieu urbain, par la formation de « configurations de maisons ». En critiquant l'approche dominante du recensement, j'interroge les modes de la circulation résidentielle à l'intérieur de telles configurations, tels qu'ils sont interprétés et signifient du point de vue indigène. Par l'analyse de deux cas ethnographiques, je montre que les circulations quotidiennes entre maisons ne sont pas seulement des « faits » résultant de problèmes pratiques ou des conditions démographiques, économiques ou urbaines de base, comme mis en avant par la littérature. Du point de vue natif, la direction, la fréquence et les modalités des déplacements résidentiels sont interprétés comme des « gestes » qui activent un langage de reconnaissance intersubjective, en configurant des formes plus symétriques ou plus asymétriques d'interdépendance entre maisons.

AbstractObjectiveThis study examines long‐term trajectories of intergenerational coresidence (IC) among a cohort of individuals aged 65 and 75 in Chile, focusing on their diversity, prevalence, internal dynamism, and sociodemographic characteristics.BackgroundIC is comparatively high in Latin America and is related to both family norms and social vulnerabilities. However, empirical evidence on this topic comes mostly from cross‐sectional studies using aggregated population data, which neglect the inherently dynamic nature of coresidential arrangements across the life course.MethodWe use representative life‐history data in Santiago, Chile (N = 802), sequence analysis to reconstruct long‐term trajectories, and bivariate analysis to examine their associations with sociodemographic factors.ResultsOur findings show that, first, IC in Chile may be more prevalent and diverse than suggested in previous cross‐sectional studies. Second, our findings indicate patterns of long‐term IC and stable conjugal cohabitation are compatible. Third, the results shed new light on the association of IC with particular sociodemographic groups.ConclusionThis study analyzed patterns of living arrangements among family members based both on intergenerational and conjugal cohabitation and their dynamic character throughout the life course. Our results challenge interpretations of contemporary living arrangements among family members at an international level.ImplicationsThis study shows that IC in Chile has been largely underrepresented, both in magnitude and heterogeneity. This finding informs public policies about the reality of family configurations that require specific care, housing, and financial support.

Sin embargo, el diseño, la construcción, la calidad y la mantención del espacio colectivo no han logrado mejorar, a pesar de diversos programas que han venido aplicándose desde la década de 1990. Por ello, la propuesta plantea tres dimensiones conceptuales para generar directrices que fomenten la capacidad de gestión local de espacios colectivos exteriores, incentiven procesos de involucramiento comunitario en espacios públicos y, persigan criterios de sustentabilidad ambiental y costos de mantención para las propuestas. Las dimensiones de gestión, medioambiente y comunidad surgen basadas en la revisión de experiencias de intervención como fueron las iniciativas visitadas en Peñalolén y en Maipú. En base a estos casos, la propuesta considera los gobiernos locales como los articuladores de la gestión de estos espacios, potenciando así su capacidad de vinculación con la comunidad, de coordinación para un buen diseño y su responsabilidad en la mantención de estos espacios.AbstractThe current discussion on housing policy focuses on reducing the negative consequences of residential segregation of the poorest households. However, the design, construction, quality and maintenance of the collective space have failed to improve despite various programs that have been applied since the 1990s. Therefore, it is proposed to generate three-dimensional conceptual guidelines to promote local management capacity for collective affairs, encourage community involvement processes in public spaces and, pursuing environmental sustainability criteria and maintenance costs for the proposals. The dimensions of management, environment and emerging community-based intervention review of experiences as they were visited Peñalolén initiatives and Maipú. Based on these cases, the proposal considers local government as the articulators of the management of these spaces, thus enhancing its ability to link with the community, points for good design and responsibility for the maintenance of these spaces.
