Participación comunitaria y procesos de comunicación en la implementación de programas de reasentamiento de familias dentro del contexto del desarrollo urbano en Barranquilla (Colombia)

Planning processes of development and growth of the city of Barranquilla have required the relocation of the population living in areas of intervention actions. As part of the implementation of the New Management Plan Territorial (POT), the city plans to revitalize an area around the Magdalena River with a view to improving the quality of life of citizens and to increase competitiveness of the city. The revitalization project is known as project “La Loma “. Under the current Land Use Plan of Barranquilla (POT), the urban development project “La Loma” includes, among other activities, the transfer of a large number of people currently living in this area. For this reason, this article aims to review the current POT and documents from City Council and the Mayor’s office associated with the POT and “La Loma” project, in order to identify and analyze the component of community participation and communication related to the implementation of this project. The results of the documents revealed the presence of regulatory elements associated with community participation. The results also showed potentially useful spaces for the implementation of inclusive communication processes. Therefore, this article proposes a guide for the formulation of a strategic communication plan with a focus on participatory communication and dialogue facilitator to be used during the execution of urban projects that include the relocation of families. © 2016, Universidad del Norte.

Realized ecological niche of the Mexican Spotted Owl (Strix occidentalis lucida) in Mexico

Objective: To characterize the realized niche of the Mexican spotted owl (Strix occidentalis lucida) and compare the environmental values it uses within the Mexican physiographic provinces. Design/methodology/approach: The environmental temperature variables (n7), precipitation (n7) and elevation (n1) were extracted from 79 unique occurrences sites of S. o. lucida. These values were grouped by physiographic provinces: Sierra Madre Occidental (n59), Sierra Madre Oriental (n13) and Transverse Neovolcanic Belt (n6). The climate and elevation of these sites were described and compared via non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis and Bonferroni-Dunn tests (P0.05). Results: The presences of the spotted owls were both, dispersed and focally distributed, over the geographic space in Mexico. The temperature and elevation variables have similar characteristics in the assessed physiographic provinces. To be noted, the precipitation variables showed significant differences among sites.Limitations on study/implications: This study describes the environmental characteristics of the realized niche of the Mexican spotted owl; however, it is necessary to investigate other habitat variables at a smaller scale. Findings/conclusions: The temperature and elevation environmental characteristics of the ecological niche of the Mexican spotted owl was similar between physiographic provinces
