Abstract
VARGAS PRIETO, Amanda and ARRIETA DIAZ, Enrique. IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF TERRITORIAL PLANNING COUNCILS IN COLOMBIA. Tend. [online]. 2024, vol.25, n.1, pp.109-138. Epub Dec 14, 2023. ISSN 0124-8693. https://doi.org/10.22267/rtend.242501.243.
The territorial entities in Colombia, mayors, and governorates, must assign advisors who have the responsibility of reviewing, giving a concept and monitoring the Territorial Development Plans; However, in Colombia there is no census of the Territorial Planning Councilors (CTP) who participate in the country's participatory planning. Taking this into account, this research aims to identify and characterize the CTP of the country, using a mixed methodology, based on an exploratory and descriptive method, with two information collection techniques, a survey and a focus group. It was found that there is a difficulty with the appointment of replacements during each period. In addition to this, there is a problem of representation due to lack of knowledge of the territorial entities and due to overlapping times with the approval of the National Development Plan (PND) and the approval of the Territorial Plans. A lack of training and splicing process protocols was evident. Regarding characterization, the majority of CTPs are of productive age between 31 and 64 years and in terms of gender equality, there is evidence of equal representation between men and women, but with a disparity in leadership positions. . Finally, recommendations for adjusting the law are presented.
