The changes in the ground usage as well the economic vocation of a town can bring benefits as serious difficulties. In this way, it is important to highlight the benefits and suppress, mitigate or at least identify the damages that occur in the process of change. The results of the research presented here, focus precisely on those damages, especially in fisical and social toppics, seeking to develop recommendations that help solve these conflict situations in the current change of economic vocation of the town of ltagüí, in addition to a better projection of the ordinance plans.

The research contains the analysis of the results, implications and effects of the incorporation of risk management in the first generation of Bogotá POT and the configuration of risk conditions in the context of climate change from the population perspective of the new project of POT within the general review provided for in Law 388/1997. The balance of the Bogotá experience concludes that the measures adopted with the incorporation of risk management in the first generation of POT are instrumental to the development model and although they were met efficiently, the level of incidence in the risk reduction of the city was very low, economic losses increased and the population exposed to risks increased during its validity. The tensions that contribute to the configuration of the risk conditions (population growth, reduction of the load capacity, expansion of the city, socio-spatial segregation and speculation of the value of the land) increase with the new project of POT 2018 and the projection of occupancy of risk areas to cover the housing deficit, quadrupling the population exposed to risk by 2050.

En Colombia la Ley Orgánica de Ordenamiento Territorial (LOOT) es una de las herramientas que permitió la restructuración del Sistema Nacional de Gestión del Riesgo, generando que los entes territoriales pudieran organizarse en una gestión conjunta al nivel central, bajo los principios de descentralización, coordinación, complementariedad y concurrencia; esto con el objetivo de fomentar acciones estratégicas coordinadas hacia el conocimiento del riesgo, reducción del riesgo y manejo de la emergencia. De esta manera, la LOOT ha permitido mejorar las competencias de los entes territoriales para la gestión del riesgo de desastres, por medio del traspaso de mayor autonomía del nivel nacional hacia los departamentos y municipios, así como el fortalecimiento de asociaciones municipales como el caso del Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá y su plan intermunicipal de gestión del riesgo —Red Riesgos—.
