Abstract

Land dispossession in the Colombian armed conflict is a critical form of victimization and a trigger of territorial configurations that shape the rurality of the country. The consequences of the illegal appropriation of land by means of usurpation or forced displacement result in a humanitarian drama and various socio-spatial and socioeconomic transformations. This research analyzes the intricate dynamics of land use and cover changes in four municipalities within the Cesar department and its relationship with instances of land abandonment and dispossession over a 29-year period (1991-2020). Landsat satellite image time series of TM, ETM+ and OLI data were used to determine land use and land cover (LULC). The classification process was carried out using the Random Forest model. The dynamics of land dispossession and forced abandonment were identified by analyzing 195 land restitution court rulings. Geo-referenced properties were subsequently overlaid on the created LULC maps. As a result, a pattern indicating a direct relationship between both variables was found. Consequently, the phenomenon of land dispossession in the context of this internal armed conflict has contributed to the transition from the traditional agrarian model to the agro-industrial one.
