Lineamientos basicos de reasentamiento en el municipio de Tumaco como parte del proceso de ordenamiento territorial del Nuevo Tumaco

Abstract

The risk of close to100 thousand people on the Pacific coast, especially in the municipalities of Tumaco, Nariño and Buenaventura, Valle del Cauca, makes it necessary for the national government to design a public policy to relocate this population in safe and legal areas. However, such resettlement requires the assessment of multiple social, economic and ancestral factors, as well as a restructuring of coordination between local and national authorities to ensure recovery and protection of the coast. The population's vulnerability led to the start of studies to overcome this risk and the mayor of Tumaco together with the Colombian national government proposed a resettlement plan, called Nuevo Tumaco that starts from the POT Territorial Planning Plan of the municipality of Tumaco 2008 - 2019, which contemplates the development of three phases of resettlement of sectors located in high risk area of the population in the three islands of this municipality. The present work seeks to develop resettlement guidelines that contribute to the territorial planning process of the Nuevo Tumaco and contribute in the investigation of general guidelines for population resettlement caused by natural phenomena in Colombia.
