Asociatividad, resistencia y conflicto territorial. El caso de la vereda el Rincón del Bubuy y las empresas de tratamiento de residuos industriales

Abstract

The inevitable environmental impact of the different oil activities in the territories of Colombia is the fundamental reason for this research, focused on exposing a series of socio-environmental problems linked to the operation of industrial waste treatment companies in the village of El Rincón del Bubuy, in Aguazul-Casanare, in relation to structural determinations that can be analyzed from the union of different factors, such as the absence of environmental guarantees, the fracturing of community ties and the abuse of institutional and private power. In this fight, different determining interests converge in the reproduction of these problems, which were promoted for more than 10 years with the arrival in this area of Ecoplanta S.A.S., Tececor S.A.S. and Biointech S.A.S., companies in charge of the disposal and treatment of industrial waste that promoted economic development for the region, without ignoring an environmental impact in this area. For this, a contextual and theoretical approach will be carried out that allows the categorization of these factors and their relationship based on the experiences of collective action and resistance of the Asociación de campesinos del Bubuy and Comité de propietarios de fincas del Rincón del Bubuy COPFRI Bubuy, to expose the different positions of the actors involved in the territory and their relationship with the emergence of multiple community and environmental problems.
