Análisis a la dinámica de crecimiento urbano del municipio de El Colegio – Cundinamarca, y sus conflictos de usos

Abstract

The dynamics of urban expansion determine great challenges for local administrations, for strategic planning and for the population of each municipality. Currently, the municipality of El Colegio - Cundinamarca faces great challenges in the classification and organization of its territory. In this analysis, the dynamics of the expansion areas of the municipality of El Colegio were determined based on the EOT (Territorial Ordering Scheme), its appropriation and compliance. The dynamics of urban growth was also analyzed and how it poses great challenges for the current administration and its population. Based on a detailed geospatial review, areas of land use conflict were identified, and how some rural areas of the municipality are being affected by urban growth. This analysis seeks to determine the reality of the urban growth dynamics to evaluate the effectiveness of the urban expansion zones established in the municipality, based on the determination of areas of rural property densification, understanding rural property densification as the segregation of properties. Rural areas that, due to their size, begin to transform their rural characteristics into urban characteristics.
