Prototipo de vivienda rural sostenible para el municipio de Gachantiva, Boyacá

Abstract

In Colombia, the rural housing deficit continues to be quite high compared to that of housing in urban areas, despite the different subsidies and projects that have been carried out, according to the DANE “quality of life” survey, this deficit reaches 2.2 million units” (Dinero 2012, para. 3), a fairly high percentage in which it is important to work. According to the Development Plan 2016-2019, in the department of Boyacá the qualitative housing deficit is at 33%, one of the municipalities most affected by this problem is the municipality of Gachantiva, which shows two main problems, the first of these is the qualitative housing deficit, which is at 77%, and the second is the multidimensional poverty index, which is at 84%. According to the problems set forth in the previous paragraph, the first problem we focus on is the qualitative deficit of rural dwellings, since the states of these generate a risk to the lives of their inhabitants, since flaws are evident in its structure, roof, walls, among others. On the other hand, within the investigation process, the housing projects delivered by the government were analyzed, in which we found that the way of life and the economic activity carried out by its inhabitants were not contemplated, which brings us as a consequence the lack of roots and the abandonment of these properties. Taking the aforementioned as a reference, the following question is asked: How can we solve the shortcomings in the physical integrity of the homes and access to minimum public services in rural areas of Gachantiva? in response to this question The aim is to propose a prototype of sustainable rural housing, which is linked to its culture and economic activity, which improves its living conditions and which is adapted to different family nuclei.Lastly, it is important to highlight that through a comprehensive project that meets the housing and poverty needs that the municipality is currently experiencing, it is possible to contribute to its development, strengthening economic and social aspects which allow the growth of the community in question.
