The magnitude of these effects may vary depending on the socioeconomic conditions of people and the characteristics of the environment, so certain territories can be more vulnerable than others. In this context, the present study aimed to geographically analyse the levels of psychosocial impact and the types of disruptive responses related to the new territorial scenarios caused by climate change in the coastal drylands of the Maule region, Chile. For this purpose, 223 people from two communes (Curepto and Pencahue) were psychosocially evaluated for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) together with a survey of the prevailing sociodemographic and socioeconomic conditions in relation to the environmental variables of the territory. All information was georeferenced, stored within an ArcGIS Desktop geographic information system (GIS) and then investigated by application of contingency tables, ANOVA and local clustering analysis using SSP statistical software. The results indicated a high level of PTSD in the population, with significant differences related to age and education as well as employment conditions and income. The spatial results showed high PTSD values in the communal capital of Curepto in the central agricultural valley near the estuary of the local river, while the existence of coldspots was observed in the central valley of the Pencahue commune. It was concluded that proximity to population centres and surface water sources played the greatest role for the development of PTSD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4081\/gh.2022.1045","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,24]],"date-time":"2022-05-24T07:54:53Z","timestamp":1653378893000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Post-traumatic stress in people from the interior drylands of the Maule region, Chile in the context of climate change"],"prefix":"10.4081","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5983-3432","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cristian","family":"C\u00e1ceres","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6135-9226","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcelo","family":"Leiva-Bianchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9947-3024","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yony","family":"Ormaz\u00e1bal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9947-3024","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Mena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan Carlos","family":"Cantillana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2549","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"6277","unstructured":"Abelda\u00f1o RA, Fern\u00e1ndez R, Estario JC, Enders JE, 2013.
