In behalf of the public programme ChileBarrio, for a study of 3 settlements in Rinconada
de Maipú, to make a Plan of Improvement, the Instituto de la Vivienda (INVI) makes a physical-
social cadastre, case to case of the houses, elaborating so many cards. It became
necessary the implementation of a SIG to give a general concept of each settlement, with
3 different aims; the legal-institutional decisions of ChileBarrio, decisions of design of the
office that will project the PMB, and as a substrate for INVI’s later investigations.
