What is territorial between migration and new rurality

Abstract

The present article tries to answer the following question: Why the migratory processes in the municipality of Yopal and its borders generate territorial disarticulation to the detriment of the quality of life of its members? In order to answer this question, it is based on a conceptual theoretical aspects related to the new rurality and territory as spatiality and complex unity, which brings together the spatial and multidimensional aspects of the human being. Methodological meta-processes are used, structured observation, stories and re-signification of the experiences in the informal neighborhoods and in the Populated Centers. Then, a characterization of the migratory processes is presented in the municipality of Yopal, whose consequences are reflected in the disarticulation of both urban and rural territory. It is possible to find a typification of migratory processes, which mark a characterization of territorial disarticulation, such as: migration towards the urban center, direct migration towards the populated centers, stepped migration and rotating migration, in which an alternative production potential is identified on the exploitation of oil, socio-cultural hybridization and the diversity of the potential of natural resources.
