This blog is aimed at foreign students (non-Chileans), not only exchange students, but those around the world. The aim of the atlas is to realize a basic knowledge in foreigners of the problem of poverty in the city of Valparaiso, Chile. Therefore, this investigation is not as detailed as it would be if the audience was professional. The user of this blog does not need very much background in geography to learn from this atlas. The creator used GIS in a manner that is easy to comprehend, and there is a glossary at the end with terms with which the user may not be familiar. NOTE: THE BLUE WORDS ARE NOT LINKS. To see the terms and the blog at the same time, open the glossary in another window.
Because the audience is aimed at foreign students, this blog appears in two languages. Therefore, one may use the blog in a geography class in the United States (with the English version) or in a Spanish-speaking country. It may also be used in the home country of Chile. The creator is American, and has taken a class entitled Geography of Latin America, and she believes this blog would be a useful tool in a discussion about Chile. This blog would be very useful in a lecture class, as it is a first-hand investigation. For this reason, the user decided to include two languages.
