Zonas de Reserva Campesina Instrumentos de Acción Pública para el desarrollo rural: caso Güejar - Cafre

Abstract

The Güejar - Cafre Peasant Reserve Zone was analyzed as a Public Action Instrument, as it constitutes the legitimate tool to harmonize the intervention of multiple actors and planning and ordering instruments for the ZRCs. This case study includes the process of forming the ZRC Güejar-Cafre sector, in the municipality of Puerto Rico -Meta, from the perspective of the Socio-Territorial System that poses challenges to traditional dynamics of public action (Lascoumes, 2004 and Le Galès, 2006 as cited in Jolly, 2007). The study advanced on the characterization of the initial process that the peasant organizations of the municipality have built. Methodologically, the research is qualitative, with the case study as the main strategy. Framework from which information collection techniques were incorporated, such as: a) semi-structured interviews: b) actor analysis and; c) analysis of planning instruments. Thus, in the first place, the document presents a referential framework structured in: conceptual framework, territorial contextual framework and legal framework The territorial contextual framework concentrates information on the territory where the Güejar-Cafre sector ZRC was formed, offering a historical context of patterns of migration, displacement and colonization of the study area, together with the evolution of peasant struggles for the right to territory. Secondly, based on the perspectives and notions of the interviewed territorial actors, an analytical reading is made based on the Socio-Territorial System (SST) proposed by Jérôme Monnet (2010). And thirdly, a discussion was held on the instruments and actors involved in territorial planning and ordering from the approaches of territorial planning and sustainable rural development.
