CARMONA BEDOYA, Manuela. The Dispute over the Territory in the Change of the Land Use Policy in Manizales (2003-2017). A Study Based on the Institutional Analysis and Development Framework. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2020, n.58, pp.168-192. ISSN 0121-5167.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.espo.n58a08.

As a result of the change in the norm for the land use in La Aurora, an adjacent area to the Río Blanco Forest Reserve, this study analyses the Territorial Planning Policy for the city of Manizales since 2003. Through a qualitative research methodology and based on the Institutional Analysis and Development Framework (IAD), the article establishes that even if constitutional rules determine the formulation of Land Use Plans (POT), these rules present a gap, in which local actors develop strategies to modify them. As a conclusion, the study states that, in this process, the participants develop incremental learning in which they manage to modify the rules, sometimes from a short-term perspective and favoring particular or reduced interests, and sometimes with a longer-term vision according to values and in benefit of nature and future generations. In each case, the capacity for collective action is decisive.

Keywords : Public Politics; Environmental Politics; Territorial Politics; Local Politics; Collective Action; Institutional Analysis and Development.
