Abstract

Through this document, the problem of rural housing identified in the municipality of Bochalema (Norte de Santander) will be studied, referring to families that according to the municipal council, live in poor living conditions such as overcrowding, deficient materials, poor accessibility and availability of services, etc. This is often due to low economic income linked to economic dependence, lack of schooling and informal work which prevent families fromimproving the quality of their homes that, in addition to being inadequately built according to the Colombian Code of Earthquake Resistant Building, is usually located in areas of geological risk for main reasons such as ignorance of the characteristics of the land, misinformation by government entities or forced displacement made some decades ago. The majority of these homes unfortunately do not have the fundamental aspects raised by the UN (2000) about the right to a decent or adequate housing, these aspects will be analyzed later. For this reason, concepts such as sustainability, productive, progressive and flexible housing will be analyzed and related with the purpose of establishing an own concept that, together with the appropriate analysis of a chosen target population, allows to direct the research to the creation of a housing prototype that is coherent to the needs of the less favored inhabitantsof the rural area of the municipality.
