Aproximación a las dinámicas territoriales posterior al desminado humanitario: caso de estudio Municipio de Zambrano, Bolívar para el periodo 2014-2021

Abstract

The municipality of Zambrano, where this research is being carried out, has historically been considered of strategic importance due to its proximity to the Magdalena River, connection with the department of Magdalena and with the interior of the department of Bolívar. During the beginning of the 21st century, Zambrano was the target of violent acts, massacres, assassinations and among them, the use of antipersonnel mines that produced social and territorial changes. In 2014, Zambrano became the third municipality in the country to be declared mine-free, thus generating expectations regarding the transformations that this could produce in the territory. Thus, this research intends to make an approach to the territorial dynamics of the municipality through the following sections: In chapter 1 an analytical description of the global and local environment of the study area is made in order to contextualize and identify the municipality's own characteristics; in chapter 2 a multitemporal study is developed referring to the land use coverages present in the territory for each of the five periods defined in the research and finally in chapter 3 the findings found at the physical, historical, economic and social level together with the events related to the implantation of antipersonnel mines and humanitarian demining in Zambrano, Bolivar are analyzed as a whole.
