Territorial Dimension of the Peace Process in the Transitional Village Zones of Normalization (ZVTN) of Sierra de la Macarena. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.2, pp.441-461.

In the Sierra de la Macarena 3 out of the 26 Transitional Village Zones of Normalization (ZVTN) are located, as it was arranged in the agreements of Havana as places to put an end to bilateral and definitive cessation of hostilities. The Zones have represented a space for disarmament and reintegration into the civilian life of the combatants of FARC - EP. One of such zones is located in the immediate vicinity of Yari plains, in the town of Playa Rica. The history of this area provides the conflicts of colonization of the Amazon Foothill and the impacts of the civil war. The adequacy of the Village Zone, for the communities of the region, has meant the possibility of finding some presence of the central State that, without its traditional counterinsurgency character, has been the subject of growing social mobilizations. However, the institutional inability to recognize the organizational and social history of the El Yari, the heavy bureaucratic apparatus that slows down the implementation of the agreements, as well as the power vacuum that the dissidence of the guerrilla aims to copy, have implied that in the Village Zone merge a social scenario of normalization without transition.
