Fortalezas, debilidades y oportunidades para analizar las problematicas sociales asociadas a la tenencia de la tierra desde el analisis de la actualizacion catastral rural 2021-2022 realizada por el IGAC en 8 municipios de Boyacá

Abstract

The present research work stems from the collaboration between the Francisco José de Caldas District University and the Research and Prospective Directorate of the Agustín Codazzi Geographic Institute, as a strategy for strengthening multipurpose cadastre. It examines land tenure conflict in eight category 6 municipalities in Boyacá, based on rural cadastral data between 2021 and 2022 conducted by IGAC and financed by multilateral banking (IDB-WB). The theoretical analysis relies on detailed documentary research, addressing topics such as territorial administration, land tenure, and its social and ecological function. The interpretative non-experimental methodology employed encompasses documentary analysis and focus groups to comprehend and characterize land tenure conflicts. Causes of these conflicts, such as high land concentration, land grabbing, armed violence, and institutional absence, are identified. Political dynamics in defining cadastre policy are examined, highlighting the necessity for multipurpose cadastre to serve as input for formulating comprehensive public policies to resolve conflicts and promote agricultural and peasant development, in alignment with the Final Peace Agreement.
