Cartografía reconstructiva en caso de conflicto territorial: una aproximación a las dinámicas territoriales de "Las Pavas"

Abstract

The case of Las Pavas ¡s one of the most controversial land conflicts in Colombia. This is a scenario that involves the agroindustrial expansión of olí palm in áreas that are related to rural populations that have been displaced by violence. The main controversy ¡s associated with statements by agribusiness entrepreneurs who say that never existed abandonment of fields involved in the case by his former owner and that there was no occupation or peasant use in them, that is the reason that there was also no abandonment or dispossession due to the forced displacement by violence. In this paper we show how reconstructive mapplng can clarify uncertainties about the abandonment and land occupation and their concordance with the action of armed groups. Therefore, spatial analysis we use represents a way to achieve a recoven/ and re-appropriation of territory.
