SAENZ PACHECO, Antonio David  e  VANHELLEMONT, Linus L.. Access to Land and Housing Informality in Yopal (Colombia): Contributions to Understanding Urban Informality and Land Access Conflicts Based on the Analysis of Social Imaginaries. Territ. [online]. 2024, n.51spe, e7.  Epub 06-Fev-2024. ISSN 0123-8418.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.13754.

Informal urban land use has generally been explained by focusing on the consequences of the neoliberal economic model that emerged in the mid-twentieth century ( Torres, 2009 ), urban economy, and the land use market ( Abramo, 2008 ). The case of the Colombian city of Yopal (Colombia) shows, however, that its urban informality is structurally related to historic, cultural, and symbolic issues associated with agrarian conflicts over the inequitable distribution of land, i. e. the basis for the armed conflict in Colombia ( Legrand, 1988 ). Therefore, this article proposes to broaden the discussion on urban informality in Colombia, based on a thorough understanding of the social imaginaries that support the use and distribution of property in Yopal and that explain the actions of public institutions and social actors when intervening physically and symbolically in the spaces they inhabit or control.

Palavras-chave : Urban informality; housing policies; agrarian conflicts; social imaginaries.
