Vivienda rural sostenible como potenciador del municipio de Venadillo en el norte del departamento del Tolima

Abstract

Rurality in Colombia has been framed by a problem that can be defined as the multidimensional poverty index in which a deficit is framed in aspects such as: educational conditions of the home, conditions of childhood and youth, health, work, access to home public services and housing conditions, which cause stagnation in their development, (Angulo, 2011), these problems do not allow an approach to the new concept of rurality, which causes a dichotomy between the Urban and the Rural, which threatens extinction of the peasantry due to lack of opportunities (Romero, 2012). This research will present an analysis by chapters: in the first chapter, the different problems of rurality in Colombia will be developed from indexes (Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) to the armed conflict, since this was one of the municipalities most affected by violence according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees [UNHCR] in 2014. In the second chapter a study on rural housing will be presented, which will cover topics such as its history since the 1950s, housing construction regulations in accordance with the 2010 Earthquake Resistant Standard (NSR) and theories of flexibility and poly-cubes on which the design proposal will be based. In the third and last chapter, the methodologies of social intervention will be established, as does the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) “Manos Unidas in its program: housing that builds lives”, with the social participation of its inhabitants. Finally, design criteria will be established in the proposal of a rural housing prototype in the municipality of Venadillo, in the department of Tolima, which seeks to meet the needs in this sector.
