Habitar el paisaje: un ejercicio desde la producción de paisajes posmineros

Abstract

In 2013, the local government of Bogotá (Colombia) proposed the closure of mines located on its urban land in an attempt to control the development of extractive activities, as well as the damages that have been associated with it. However, the decree regulating his transition was suspended a year later. This research seeks to answer a question triggered by said event about how to guide the future of these areas in the event of their eventual closure. The article seeks to enrich the conceptual and methodological approach for the understanding and concretion of post-mining landscapes. Based on the interpretation of theoretical-methodological bridges found between the concepts of habitat and landscape, the inhabited landscape is proposed as the conceptual basis for building post-mining landscapes from the idea of ​​inhabiting them. On the other hand, based on the contextual characterization and critical reading of two different approaches to post-mining, the first in the Potosí neighborhood in Bogotá and the second of the iba-Lausitz project in Germany, the elements that make up the proposed methodological route are established. for the construction of post-mining landscapes. The construction of these landscapes is proposed as an expanded project of collective construction, for which the establishment of territorial pacts based on participation scenarios and the collective construction of knowledge is essential.
