oai:ojs.revistas.uchile.cl:article-623282020-03-04T16:05:10Z Resettling a vulnerable habitat: Theory against practice Reasentar un hábitat vulnerable: teoría versus praxis Chardon, Anne-Catherine Given the vulnerability of urban populations exposed to natural threats, Colombian city councils must find solutions through resettlement processes, so that vulnerable communities, from a physical-natural perspective, can acquire new or “used” land in a safe place. By analyzing projects developed up to now, there is a wrong and biased institutional idea of vulnerability, leading to resettlement policies that do not take the whole concept of habitat into consideration, nor are they oriented towards the improvement quality of life of dwellers. Therefore, this article puts forward a reflection on the critical concepts of this kind of processes before presenting and analyzing resettlement experiences that are taking place in Manizales, Colombia. Ante la vulnerabilidad de las poblaciones urbanas expuestas a amenazas naturales, los municipios colombianos tienen la obligación de plantear soluciones, entre otras, a través de procesos de reasentamiento que consisten en la adquisición por parte de la comunidad vulnerable, de un lugar de vida nuevo o “usado” en un sitio seguro desde el punto de vista físico-natural. Al estudiar los proyectos desarrollados hasta el momento, se observa una visión institucional sesgada y errónea del concepto de vulnerabilidad que lleva a unas políticas de reasentamiento que no tienen en cuenta al hábitat en su acepción más amplia, ni tampoco están orientadas hacia el mejoramiento integral de la calidad de vida de los pobladores. Por consiguiente, el presente escrito plantea, primero, una reflexión sobre los conceptos determinantes en este tipo de procesos, antes de presentar y analizar experiencias de reasentamiento llevadas a cabo en la ciudad de Manizales (Colombia).
