VILLAMIL CASTILLO, Harold Alexander. Conflicts in the territorial ordering of the Bogotá savanna. Case Mining vs. Bogotá river decontamination (Colombia). Rev. Ciudades Estados Política [online]. 2021, vol.8, n.3, pp.63-78.  Epub June 21, 2022. ISSN 2462-9103.

This article aims to demonstrate the actions of State entities in the face of a series of territorial conflicts that have arisen in recent years due to a series of public policies formulated by some entities. The Ministry of the Environment is taken for the case study. Likewise, a resolution issued by the same entity, which opens a series of mining estates in the Bogotá savannah, Colombia, is reviewed with a magnifying glass. For this, an exploratory methodology is used, which is characterized by delving into little-studied phenomena, conditions, spaces, or fields to establish new theoretical and conceptual relationships and familiarize readers with these subjects. We found that the lack of planning can be evidenced when formulating public policies concerning mining regulations, which are based on the government plan of the moment and prioritizes economic development, which entails a series of social, environmental, and economic conflicts. Finally, as conclusions, a "step by step" plan is recommended in the face of public policy makers' actions to mitigate possible territorial conflicts.

Keywords : collective rights; decontamination; jurisprudence; mining; land use planning; Bogotá river.
