Ordenamiento local, ciudad y territorios de posconflicto en Colombia

This paper discusses the results of the research "On the Road to Local Planning of the Territory for Informal Settlements with the Presence of People Displaced by the Armed Conflict. Barrancabermeja and San Pablo in the Middle Magdalena Region”. The paper analyzes the different approaches for the local planning of the territory, from the standpoint of emerging processes generated by strategies involving collective participation by the populations displaced by the armed conflict in Colombia in urban peripheries and rural borders in the Middle Magdalena region. The research is focused on the study of the processes for the construction of informal settlements with the presence of displaced population, considering the strength of community organization behind specific collective actions. This allows the identification of the potential of this participatory and collaborative strength focused on the formation and self-management of its settlements. The understanding and systematization of these processes brings to light the potential for territorial construction "from below", with a view to exercising a specific effect on public policy decisions made "from above" [1]. It also opens a test field to develop possible instruments of participatory intervention in line with the local reality, with a view to building the territory based on the scenarios after the possible peace agreement according to the aspirations of a community historically entrenched in the presence of the armed conflict in both urban and rural areas.
