RIVERA CHAVES, Lorena. Factors of Territorialization in a Post Disaster Resettlement. Gramalote - Norte de Santander 2010-2013. Perspectiva Geográfica [online]. 2014, vol.19, n.1, pp.11-28.  Epub May 31, 2024. ISSN 0123-3769.

From the definition of territory as a social construct, this paper presents the six factors of territorialization identified during the first 30 month post-event disaster resettlement of the town of Gramalote, Norte de Santander. To do this, ethnographic methodological tools were employed, which allowed to recognize the factors in the speech of the ones involved, i.e., perception, representation and decision making on the original space, transitional spaces and the future settlement. This identification of territorialization factors highlights the need for a spatial approach that explores the qualitative aspects that contribute to improving the management of resettlement processes.
