Alternativa interdimensional para mitigar la desruralización del borde urbano-rural en la Vereda Quiba Baja, Ciudad Bolívar, 2020-2025

Abstract

The Quiba Baja Village is located on the urban-rural edge of southern Bogotá, it has shown a process of deruralization derived from informal urban expansion. The present work is about this phenomenon, and suggest searching for a balance of its characteristics, flows and territorialities to mitigate it. At first, the deruralization at the urban-rural edge between 2010 and 2020 is analized taking into account sociocultural, ecological-environmental, political-ideological and technical-economic dimensions. This analysis is done in order to prioritize the most significant characteristics of the desruralization and to know how those characteristics affect the territory development. Later, the interdimensional analysis is made. The previous work will allow us to confirm that Quiba desruralization implies territorial dispossession, uprooting, ecosystem deterioration and fragmentation, and weakening of the agency capacity of the inhabitants; those problems have grown due to a partial plannig focused on tecnnical economic projects. In a short term, the rural component of the border will desapear if no measure is taken soon. Finally, a interdimensional alternative is proposed to mitigate the desruralization. Is is based on a touristic tour that an includes agricultural strategy to produce new and quality products; furthermore, the tour will promote territorial identity recovery, political appropriation, ecosystem and landscape conservation.
