Ítem Actores sociales y acción organizada en un escenario neoliberal : el caso de emprendedores sociales en la ciudad de Medellín(Universidad EAFIT, 2021) Macías Prada, John Fernando; González Miranda, Diego RenéÍtem Aplicación de la curva logística a los censos de la ciudad de Medellín(Universidad EAFIT, 02/04/2007) Poveda Ramos, Gabriel; Manrique H, Jorge; Universidad Pontificia BolivarianaÍtem Being an (in)Formal Afro-Descendant Entrepreneur in Medellín, Colombia: A Case Study(Springer International Publishing, 2019-01-01) Macias, J.; Gonzales, D.; Arcand, Sébastien; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Administración; Innovación, Empresarismo y Sostenibilidad (GUIES)Many Afro-descendants residing in Medellin seek to have an impact on their territories to achieve and guarantee minimum economic conditions for a better communities’ quality of life and the preservation of their cultural identity. Using a propositional and qualitative approach, this chapter analyzes the process of inception and development of these black entrepreneurships, from the study of three specific cases. Entrepreneurship processes carried out by the Afro-descendant population of the District 13 in Medellin have been surrounded by an institutional context that these entrepreneurs have taken advantage of to develop their entrepreneurial activities. The entrepreneurs who participated in the study move continuously between the formal and the informal economy. While they look for opportunities to generate income through informal ways (subsistence strategies such as food preparation, cleaning, and masonry), they also use formal ways (participation in institutional programs of business entrepreneurship promotion). © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.Ítem Being an (in)Formal Afro-Descendant Entrepreneur in Medellín, Colombia: A Case Study(Springer International Publishing, 2019-01-01) Macias, J.; Gonzales, D.; Arcand, Sébastien; Universidad EAFIT.

The case of Medellin(UNIV ANTIOQUIA, FAC DERECHO & CIENCIAS POLITICAS, 2015-07-01) M. MONTOYA BRAND; A. VASQUEZ CARDENAS; N. MONTOYA RESTREPO; M. MONTOYA BRAND; A. VASQUEZ CARDENAS; N. MONTOYA RESTREPOThis article explores harmonious and discordant relations accompanying leading political participation models in public affairs. The article is focused on the analysis of whether the four most influential models of participation, namely, direct participation, indirect participation, deliberative participation, and control participation, have accompanied the multiple participation processes generated as part of the urban transformation in Medellin, Colombia between 2004 and 2015, specifically in the concise occurrence of the town hall meeting held as part of the formulation of the Land Development Plan in 2014. As explained in the paper, even if every model places a major focus on a particular aspect, they all together may converge in a collaborative and interdependent fashion. Additionally, this investigation supports that according to their immediate interests, different actors in urban transformation processes may observe these models as compatible or incompatible among each other and, accordingly, will assign each of them a dominant role depending on the specific time and interests at stake. This study may be applied as an analytical framework across contexts in Colombia, as it occurs in many Latin American cities where legal systems establish the simultaneity of these four participation models.Ítem Community participation in natural risk prevention: Case histories from Colombia(GEOLOGICAL SOC PUBLISHING HOUSE, 2008-01-01) Hermelin, M.; Bedoya, G.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Geología; Ciencias del MarMore than 75% of Colombia's 42 million people live in urban areas located in the mountains and are exposed to numerous natural hazards: floods, flash floods, landslides, earthquakes and volcanism. The Armero disaster of 1985 triggered the creation of the National System for Disaster Prevention and Relief. National, regional and local committees started to operate across the country, accompanied by education commissions that produced diverse audiovisual materials to help educate people living in these areas. The experiences of working with local committees gained during the last two decades are presented here. Case histories are from cities such as Pereira, Manizales and Medellín, where the local committees are run by people with little or no formal education but who understand that they must participate as a group to prevent or mitigate the effects of natural disasters. The co-operation between technical experts and trained residents represents an outstanding example of good communication and co-operation for urban populations living in dangerous areas. Although many problems have yet to be resolved, these case histories show that this type of organization seems to be more effective than direct intervention from national government agencies. The models of community participation and communication developed and refined here may have application to similar social environments in other countries. © 2008 Geological Society of London.Ítem Community participation in natural risk prevention: Case histories from Colombia(GEOLOGICAL SOC PUBLISHING HOUSE, 2008-01-01) Hermelin, M.; Bedoya, G.; Hermelin, M.; Bedoya, G.; Universidad EAFIT.

Medellin's case(UNIV ANTIOQUIA, FAC DERECHO & CIENCIAS POLITICAS, 2017-01-01) A. VASQUEZ CARDENAS; M. MONTOYA BRAND; D. ROJAS BERMEO; A. VASQUEZ CARDENAS; M. MONTOYA BRAND; D. ROJAS BERMEOThe article explores the reasons why urban public policies in Latin America have a very high degree of complexity. It also addresses the challenges that this generates for local governments. It examines in an illustrative way the case of Medellin (Colombia) by taking as a point of reference urban regeneration policies applied during 2004-2015. The complexity of urban policies can be exposed in aspects such as follows: In urban policies it is necessary to give room for diverse and sometimes conflicting interests; Latin American cities are faced with the challenge of ensuring, simultaneously with its policies, not only the human development but also the competitiveness required by the globalized world of today. Finally, it is increasingly clear that policy makers must take into account the consequences of the urban transformation processes that result from public policies. This work continues by evidencing the main tensions that complexity imposes on public policies concerning urban transformation in Latin America.Ítem ¿Conoces la historia de los servicios públicos de Medellín?(2020-12-01) Martinez Guerrero, Christian Alexander; Christian Alexander Martinez-Guerrero; López, Juan Carlos; Historia EmpresarialÍtem El consumo en los Food Trucks : el caso de Medellín(Universidad EAFIT, 2019) Moreno Arcila, Catalina; Marmolejo Montoya, Diana Carolina; Muñoz Molina, Yaromir; Restrepo Ayala, CamiloThe growth of the hospitality industry and its focus on experiences, the development of tourism, better and wider cultural, government support entrepreneurship and an increasingly open to entertainment population, among other things, were the factors that prompted the investigation of how likely are the people of Medellin to consume food trucks, a global phenomenon that is already present in the city and has had a significant growth since its arrival. This research aims to identify the propensity of people in the city of Medellin to consume food at food trucks, to determine profiles and segments of existing and potential customers. Similarly, it is intended to identify motivators and inhibitors elements of market demand in question; to analyze in depth what factors can be categorized as key elements in value creation. For this it is proposed to conduct in-depth interviews with experts in the food sector and the subject matter, observations, surveys and study of literature.Ítem Contributions of musical education to people with disabilities in the promotion of self-determination(Universidad EAFIT, 2020-06-24) Pérez Valderrama, Mónica; Corporación Universitaria AdventistaThe present article is based on the research work Música para ver: Sistematización de la experiencia (Music to see: Systematization of experience); a qualitative research, which approached the music education program Música para ver intended to unveil the subjective transformations of the participants in the city of Medellin between 2014-2016, to recognize the scope of the program and to strengthen its strategies. This research was made with 16 teenage music students with visual disabilities (VD) and their families in Medellin – Colombia, revealing the changes the participants had on the creation of their subjectivity, abilities development, life’s project, emotional bonds and transformation towards a positive concept of the disability in their families, all through music learning. This article aims to complement the conceptual referent of this research and create a record of the learnings unveiled from the research and derived from he researcher’s consideration surrounding the increase of self-determination with the musical practice of people with visual disabilities (VD). To this effect, the research briefly breaks down the characteristics and the impediments for the development of self-determined behaviors, there is an approximation to the changes in the regulations and the principles of Music Education that allows a more inclusive music classes. Ultimately, the research backs the thesis of collective musical practice encouraging the development of self-determination in people with VD.Ítem Efecto de los ingresos permanentes sobre el delito: un enfoque espacial y un caso de aplicación(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 2016-10-01) Urrego, Joaquín A.; Gómez, C.; Velásquez, H.; Valderrama, Juan David; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Economía y Finanzas; Research in Spatial Economics (RISE)In this study, spatial information is used to complement the analysis that crime makes an economic theory focused on the availability of police force and judicial efficiency. Particularly, this document analyzes the role that the level of permanent income plays in crimes in a geographical unit and its neighbors, in addition to the relationship of socioeconomic characteristics. An exercise that was applied in the communes of Medellin confirmed the idea that an increase in permanent revenues of 1% reduces crimes in the communes on average by 0.67%. The effect this has on its neighbors is significant and variable. Traditional panel models underestimate the real impact that an increase in income in some neighborhoods has. Robust tests show the accuracy of the results and the adequacy of the model data generating process. © 2016 Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Facultad de EconomíaÍtem Effect of permanent income on crime: a spatial approach and an application case(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 2016-10-01) Urrego, Joaquin A.; Gomez Toro, Catalina; Velasquez C, Hermilson; David Valderrama, Juan; Universidad EAFIT.

Considering that public investment and crime have an endogeneity problem, a longitudinal panel of comunas estimated by fixed effects, is employed. Although the endogeneity problem is not eliminated, regressions are estimated under different assumptions that allow an approximation to identify causal effects. The results suggest that the concurrent investment does not have a significant relationship on crime. However, investment in security in one year has a negative and statistically significant relationship with crime in the following year. Both results are mainly explained by ordinary investment in security, and not by investment in participatory budgeting. Also, the effect by type of project is studied. The results suggest that concurrent investment does not have a significant relationship on crime, but there is a negative and statistically significant relationship of cohabitation projects with crime in the following two years.Ítem Informality in Medellin through the Lens of Governance(Universidad del Rosario, 2020-01-01) E. CALDERON; A. ESLAVA; S. MEJIA-DUGAND; E. CALDERON; A. ESLAVA; S. MEJIA-DUGAND; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Humanidades; Centro de Estudios Urbanos y Ambientales (URBAM)Cities in the global South have received attention in global governance and sustainability discussions. This seems to be a logical result, considering that most people in the world live in them. In particular, Medellin has received important attention thanks to a series of urban interventions related to the improvement of different aspects of the quality of life of its inhabitants. In this article we discuss how governance is materialized and takes different shapes depending on the conditions and actors in each specific case. Additionally, we explore the case of Juan Bobo, a housing consolidation pilot project that took place in the city of Medellin. Through this case, we try to understand how governance takes shape under informal conditions and how can different functional combinations of governance styles be achieved to solve some of the problems that affect self-built neighborhoods in the city.Ítem The intellectual elites in EuroAmerica Imaginary Identitarians, men of letters, arts and sciences in Medellin and Antioquia, 1830-1920(Universidad EAFIT, 2004-05-19) Escobar Villegas, Juan Camilo; Universidad EAFITÍtem The Language of Violence The Written Press, The Parties and the Church.

Departamento de Humanidades; Centro de Estudios Urbanos y Ambientales (URBAM)We discuss municipal physical-spatial planning instruments as vehicles for the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in cities in the Global South. We do this by focusing on Medellin, Colombia, a city that has endured significant challenges-mainly related to poverty and violence-, but has attracted significant international attention due to its approach to territorial planning and its innovative application of new and existing legal tools to transform realities and repay historical debts with the urban poor. We performed a review of the most important documents related to SDG implementation in the country and the city, as well as Municipal Development Plans and legal planning instruments issued from 1 January 2016. The article maps active planning instruments and suggests the analysis, already from the diagnosis and formulation phases, of the linkage among strategies and projects, and SDGs, and the inclusion of SDG considerations in citizen participation instruments such as so-called Local Development Plans. © 2020 by the authors.
