  • Resumen: Abstract: Colombia’s development model based on economic growth has favoured nature exploitation and unequitable power relations over rural land. This has led to violent conflicts, land disposition, migratory dynamics and poverty, which has delayed rural development. Colombian rural regions are characterized by limited access to political, social, and economic resources, poor basic services, detriment on cultural and environmental values, as well as undervalued traditional productivity activities and life style; in sum, they have limited development opportunities and capabilities. In turn, the country’s decentralized planning system undermines territorial comprehensiveness, urban/rural articulation and rural sustainable development. Limitations and contradictions caused by overlaps and gaps amongst governmental levels, laws and decrees, which goes hand in hand with urban-oriented planning policies that have undermined rural development, environmental sustainability and social well-being. Within this context, the signing of the Peace Treaty of 2016 gave origin to new trends and revalued rural Colombia as the privileged space for peace making. Therefore, the country is in the process of reconsidering rurality not only as land for agriculture or nature exploitation, but also as a space for community opportunities and the protection of nature. In order to comprehend rural development models and planning limitations and contradictions for rural and territorial development in Colombia, this work proposes a conceptual approach on the basis of theories on development, rural development, rurality and political ecology. A state of the art of current history of political and economic conflicts over rural land and the evaluation of the planning systems are presented in this thesis in order to orient planning perspectives for policy transformation and to search for urban and rural development alternatives. The review of various international examples of nature exploitation unveils links between the exploitation of nature and the potentials of spatial development. The analysis of Colombia’s region Casanare shows how critical aspects caused by fast-growing demographic and economic dynamics due to extractivist industries, which have generated unjust resource distribution and planning decisions, have impaired rural development and social improvement. Based on evidence on these variables, recommendations to reorient planning policies for rural and regional development alternatives in Colombia will be provided. This dissertation proposes alternatives, redefining objectives and spatial planning principles centred on nature- mankind relationships that can also be internationally applicable.
