Tipo de ítem: Ítem , Propuesta integral de ordenamiento territorial para el fortalecimiento de la participación ciudadana ante el riesgo de inundación en la vereda La Argentina, Villavicencio-Meta.(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-06-24) Martínez Hernández, Juan Carlos; Arboleda Montes, Leydy Johanna; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000115799; https://scholar.google.es/citations?hl=es&user=8Odmoc4AAAAJ; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4234-5384This research developed a comprehensive proposal that strengthened effective citizen participation in flood risk management as a land-use planning tool in the La Argentina Village, part of the 3rd district of the city of Villavicencio. The study focused on the social construction of risk through citizen participation, where social variables, such as vulnerability and participation, are integrated with environmental variables. The research consisted of three phases to achieve the project's objective. Initially, it consisted of a multi-temporal analysis from 1986 to 2023, which revealed the behavior of water bodies that pose a latent threat to the community of the village, especially the Guatiquía River and the La Argentina Stream. These findings revealed a significant transformation of the landscape and an increasing exposure of the village to flooding events. A detailed review of the current state of the planning and management instruments applicable to this particular case was then conducted. This exercise revealed limitations in the integration of the risk component into local policies, as well as gaps in institutional coordination and community participation mechanisms. This information was complemented and validated through semi-structured interviews with three local experts in social work, risk management, and territorial planning. Their perspectives allowed for a contrast and enrichment of the technical analysis, confirming the urgency of strengthening participatory and interdisciplinary approaches in rural planning and risk management processes in territories such as La Argentina. This led to the collective development of a proposal, supported by participatory processes such as workshops, social mapping, and risk scenario simulations. These dynamics not only made visible the perceptions, needs, and knowledge of the territory, but also quantified the potential economic losses in the event of a catastrophe, which provided a key technical component for decision-making. Simulations of the current hazard and risk associated with the flooding of the Guatiquía River and the La Argentina Stream helped assess the magnitude of a potential disaster and served as input for designing adaptation strategies. The participatory exercise also revealed a set of structural problems affecting the community, such as a lack of planning, weak risk management, and tensions arising from disjointed urban and rural development. In response to these complexities, and as a result of collaborative work between the researcher and the community, a Rural Planning Unit (UPR) was developed for the La Argentina district. This unit was proposed as a technical and social instrument that articulates local knowledge with the principles of territorial planning, promoting comprehensive risk management, strengthening the social fabric, and territorial sustainability.Tipo de ítem: Ítem , Intervención urbana mediante estrategias de planificación sostenible, para mitigar las afectaciones ambientales y sociales del asentamiento informal Los Girasoles, en el municipio de Banca de Upía-Meta(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-06-10) Carvajal Muñoz, Juan Camilo; Cabana Fonseca, Freddy Alexander; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001482543; https://scholar.google.es/citations?hl=es&pli=1&user=v-hq1KgAAAAJ; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6151-0707In the Municipality of Barranca de Upía, Meta, the property called El Regalo is located, adjacent to the Upía River, the wastewater treatment plant of the municipality and the informal settlement Los Girasoles are located within this property, divided into 37 blocks, with more than 210 informal homes, this settlement between the years 2015 and 2020 affected the environment considerably in terms of the loss of forest cover, due to the processes of informal settlements, causing an impact on the regulating ecosystem services and presenting a deficit in the quality of life of the inhabitants, due to its proximity to the wastewater treatment plant, the Upía River, the deficiency of road infrastructure, public services, public space and housing in precarious conditions. In the following investigation, environmental impacts, such as the loss of vegetation cover and regulating ecosystem services, and social impacts, such as precarious living conditions, were characterized through social mapping, satellite image analysis, and field visits. Two land-use regimes were established for areas with a predominant environmental situation, in accordance with the analysis of current and future conditions, anticipating the interventions that could be carried out on the property under study, needs, urban, environmental, and social dynamics, in accordance with technical criteria for isolation from wastewater treatment infrastructure, results and recommendations of the basic disaster risk management study being carried out for the municipality of Barranca de Upía-Meta, and its non-structural mitigation measures. In addition, interventions and elements that encompass sustainable planning were identified to reduce the current impacts, through references that fit the environment and characteristics of the Los Girasoles informal settlement, such as the use of living fences to control offensive odors and flooding (Phytovolatilization, a type of Phytoremediation in which plants help clean the air by converting certain pollutants into less harmful gases that they then release), integrating environmental restoration into urban projects to enhance regulatory ecosystem services, the connection between nature and human well-being, projection of perimeter and main roads, central layout for the provision of public services, strategic residential zoning, landscape restoration, and diversity as the foundation of the urban fabric, combining uses such as housing, facilities and public space. Finally, an urban intervention model for comprehensive improvement is proposed, aiming to mitigate environmental and social impacts through a reorganization of the settlement, integrating it with the other areas of the municipality and harmonizing it with the existing urban planning model. The lack of road infrastructure, the lack of public utilities, public space, and substandard housing are reduced, and non-structural mitigation measures for flooding and offensive odors are implemented. This urban intervention model is developed in accordance with the objectives of the Municipal Development Plan of Barranca de Upía 2024-2027, the objectives of the Territorial Planning Scheme formulation, and it is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): 1, No Poverty; 3, Good Health and Well-Being; 6, Clean Water and Sanitation; 10, Reduced Inequalities; 11, Sustainable Cities and Communities; 13, Climate Action; 15, Life on Land (UN, 2015). Finally, it complies with national laws and policies, making this urban intervention an element harmonized with these territorial planning instruments, policies, and objectives, as well as an important national and international reference in the field of sustainable planning, environmental management, and territorial organization.Tipo de ítem: Ítem , Zonificación ambiental rural participativa del predio Hato Rondón (Antiguo ETCR), San Juan de Arama – Meta(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-09-18) Barrios Osorio, Diana Paola; Pardo Mayorga, Jorge Eliecer; Ochoa Corredor, Javier Mauricio; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001453735; https://scholar.google.es/citations?hl=es&user=eekt4ZEAAAAJ; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1044-3329Within the framework of the Final Peace Agreement in Colombia, the Hato Rondón property (Meta), granted in 2023 to signatories of the Peace Agreement as part of their reincorporation process, faces an environmental conflict stemming from the overlap and contradiction between territorial planning instruments, such as the POMCA of the Middle and Lower Ariari River and the Integrated Management Plan for the same area. Although a large portion of the property is classified as a conservation zone, in practice it is predominantly used for agricultural purposes, revealing a disconnection between environmental planning instruments and actual land use. In response to this situation, the Participatory Rural Environmental Zoning (ZARP) strategy was implemented. Through six phases, it incorporates local knowledge, biophysical and social characterization, and community dialogue to establish recommendations aimed at conservation, restoration, and sustainable development. The implementation of ZARP made it possible to identify areas suitable for agroforestry and silvopastoral systems compatible with conservation objectives, and facilitated the signing of a conservation agreement. The results show that ZARP is an effective tool for aligning environmental goals with social needs, overcoming the limitations of traditional planning. Finally, specific guidelines are proposed for its implementation in Hato Rondón, strengthening territorial governance and environmental sustainability in post-conflict contexts.Tipo de ítem: Ítem , Conectividad ecológica como estrategia para la conservación en paisajes agropecuarios en el municipio de San Carlos de Guaroa, Meta(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-08-22) Cano Calderón, Yinny Marcela; Cortes Naranjo, Diego Andrey; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001601571; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=yv5DCH4AAAAJ&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1040-6744San Carlos de Guaroa is characterized by an agricultural-based economy, with more than 50% of its territory devoted to oil palm cultivation, rice, and livestock, positioning it as one of the main producers in the country. However, these production systems have played a significant role in transforming the landscape since the 20th century, leading to a substantial reduction in natural cover. Therefore, this study aims to propose ecological connectivity mechanisms as a conservation strategy in agricultural landscapes. To this end, a mixed methodology was developed, integrating geographic information systems and participatory analysis. As a result, oil palm coverage increased thirteenfold, rising from 2.5% to 34.6% between 1985 and 2025, while gallery forests and tall dense upland forests recorded a 14.1% loss. Landscape analyses revealed an increase in fragmentation, with connectivity reduced by 1.88% and low-intervention categories decreasing by 49%. Additionally, low heterogeneity was observed, with impacts concentrated in the northeast, central-southern, and southeastern areas of the municipality. According to local stakeholders, these changes are mainly linked to the agricultural economy, which occupies over 70% of the territory. A total of 1,462 patches were identified, of which 21 were selected as core areas, representing 57% of the forest cover. Optimal routes were determined considering biotic, abiotic, and anthropic variables, aligned with territorial planning guidelines, resulting in the identification of 19 ecological corridors. These corridors display a pattern toward the northeastern sector, an area of high ecological suitability, distributed along water bodies, making their implementation feasible through the restoration of riparian buffers. Finally, two types of mechanisms were proposed. The first focuses on strengthening the ecological structure of the landscape through active and passive restoration with native species, live fences, agroforestry systems, and wildlife crossings. The second relates to promoting sustainable practices in agricultural systems and environmental awareness. This study provides technical and cartographic inputs that facilitate the integration of ecological connectivity into municipal planning and guide conservation efforts toward more efficient territorial management.Tipo de ítem: Ítem , Sistemas productivos que contribuyen a la sostenibilidad ambiental y seguridad alimentaria de la vereda contadero de Villavicencio, Meta.(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2024-12-06) Ortiz Buitrago, Reinaldo; Lora Gómez, Carlos Arturo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000903531; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=CCPOJ-wAAAAJ&hl=esThe research work was aimed at proposing alternative production systems that contribute to environmental sustainability and food security in the Contadero village of Villavicencio, Meta, located within the Buenavista Protective Forest Reserve, which has legal restrictions on the use of the floor. The methodology consisted of three phases: preparation, diagnosis and formulation. Information was collected from official sources such as DANE, Cormacarena, IGAC and SIPRA of UPRA. Subsequently, a survey was implemented to carry out the social and environmental characterization, and the information obtained was analyzed using the SPSS software (Statistical Package for Social Sciences). In addition, a participatory construction workshop was held with the community, where a social map and a SWOT matrix were developed. Through a feasibility matrix, the most relevant alternative was determined considering criteria such as soil suitability, adoption of planning instruments, community acceptance, income generation and long-term sustainability. The results propose two alternatives for the socio-environmental context of the Contadero village: A cocoa agroforestry system (SAF) for farms with sustainable use and low suitability for cocoa. Non-timber forest products (NTFP) for properties in the sustainable use category and low forestry suitability. These alternatives are aimed at the conservation of biodiversity, production, environmental sustainability and food security of the community of the Contadero village.Tipo de ítem: Ítem , Lineamientos para el Diseño de la Estrategia de Formalización y Mejoramiento Integral de Barrios en el Municipio de Villavicencio.(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-02-04) Barbosa Montealegre, Diego Orlando; Martínez Gómez, Joe Alexander; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000072900; https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=es&user=cOOBiVUAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&gmla=AJsN-F5B4KZtPt1HC93WnZmQECgBttTcEdSrXATTf2P9apbCq5UZXsKAuVD1oAHP7ouhg8OP3ltcA9xVj1xg5_oKdS---2-; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0605-1581This document is the result of the internship of the Master's Degree in Environmental Planning of the Territory – MOAT that combines multiple perspectives on the territory and particularly a look based on professional experience and academic work, here the guidelines of the methodological route that is proposed to guide the future formulation of the Strategy for the Integral Improvement of the habitat of the informal and subnormal human settlements of Villavicencio are defined.
