PRECIADO-TRUJILLO, Andrés. Territoriality in the migration process: an approach to proximity mapping. []. , 27, 3, pp.149-154. ISSN 0124-7913.  https://doi.org/10.15446/bitacora.v27n3.66792.

The transition from rural to urban life has been portrayed in various ways in the specialized literature, emphasizing the processes of uprooting experienced by migrants due to violence, dispossession, exile, among others. This article seeks to contribute to the topic, noting other causes that motivate the migration process. To do so we analyze the life history of a peasant family from the municipality of Aquitaine (Boyacá) and its passage from the countryside to the city in a period of almost 40 years, focusing our attention on changes in the expressions and perceptions of the territorialization in the light of three categories: the crop, the idea of progress and the environment.
