PROBLEM: Subnormal neighborhoods.
What are subnormal neighborhoods?
It is the human settlement located in the headwaters of municipalities or districts that meets the following requirements:
that does not have residential public electricity service or that it is obtained through derivations of the Local Distribution System or a Connection, carried out without the approval of the respective Network Operator
that they are not areas where the home public service of electricity in general must be suspended in those areas in which it is prohibited to provide the service.
How many informal settlements are there in Colombia?
There are more than 55,450 precariously built homes in the Colombian capital, according to the first Report on Informal Settlements in Bogotá carried out by Techo, which insists on the conditions of poverty linked to this type of suburb.
The settlements, whose population is equivalent to 2.7% of the total of Bogotá, have a high presence of people displaced by an internal conflict that the country has been experiencing for more than 50 years, which according to official figures has expelled more than six million of people from their homes.
"65% of the informal settlements in Bogotá have a displaced population," said Daniela Carvajalino, social director of Techo Colombia, quoted in the statement.

Subnormal neighborhood cases
The largest cases of subnormal neighborhoods are found on the Caribbean coast, mainly due to the negligence of the electricity company (ElectriCaribe).
1 Case
One of the largest cases of a subnormal neighborhood is found in Santa Marta, exactly in the Ciénaga neighborhood, where, apart from pollution, one of its biggest problems is the lack of drinking water, since nothing has been done since the 1990s. to solve it and this leads us to the next issue or affectation of the Ciénaga neighborhood which is the absence of comprehensive management since despite all the institutional and scientific effort that was made in the 90s for the recovery of the Ciénaga, today the management of the entities that must ensure the preservation of this lagoon complex, such as the Regional Autonomous Corporation of Magdalena (Corpamag) and the Ministry of the Environment, has fallen short. Below is a graph which shows us the drought suffered in this particular part.
Problems of Subnormal Neighborhoods
In the case of Subnormal Neighborhoods, the figures show unflattering results. Of around 20,000 neighborhoods designated as such in 2005, in 2007, 25,000 were registered, that is, an increase of 25%. In addition, the presentation and approval of projects to normalize these areas is extremely low.
The main conclusions drawn from the analysis of Subnormal Neighborhoods are listed below:
1. It was found that the income of the electricity service trading companies is reduced as the neighborhoods are normalized, which constitutes a disincentive to the presentation of normalization projects, a task that according to the current regulation precisely remained in hands of these companies.
2. It is concluded that the recent change in regulations in turn generates a change in the benefits obtained by the companies that market the electricity service, which presumably will imply a different behavior on their part in the face of network normalization projects. electrical. CREG Resolution 097 of 2008, by reducing the rate that companies charge, caused an alignment of incentives towards the correct side, since now there is a higher expected benefit for companies in the event of reaching normalization.
3. It was shown that the estimates made for an average Subnormal Neighborhood indicate that although the new noma points to the right side, the expected benefit of the company if it decides to carry out the normalization project is not as attractive as that presented by the alternative proposal with prepaid meters. According to the estimates presented, the proposal for the installation of prepaid meters would immediately raise the collection to 100% for the companies, resulting in a much more interesting contract than the current one.
In a final conclusion, we consider it highly debatable to maintain a subsidy that stimulates the consumption of electrical energy at all costs in the face of a global environment of enormous concern about climate change and greater awareness of the rational use of natural resources. The Mexican and Argentine experience is relevant in this regard, since their subsidy scheme establishes a higher charge while consumption is higher. This feature, in addition to promoting the rational use of energy among users, directs resources to the poorest population.
Lastly, although the available information does not reveal that the consumption of users of Subnormal Neighborhoods is greater than that of users of similar socioeconomic conditions and who are not covered by the subsidy, it is worth mentioning that this may well be due to overestimates of the size of these areas, since the disbursements of resources are tied to the number of users and there is no oversight over the registration of inhabitants.
PART OF SPANISH:
How the town of Rafael Uribe started:
The locality 18 Rafael Uribe Uribe, historically was part of the old municipality of Usme and goes back to its historical memories. Large farms made up its territory, which were giving way to the urban expansion of the city.
His doubling from the Colony was presented with the distribution of land among the most influential people in Bogotá. Thus, farms and haciendas stand out such as “Llano de Mesa, Santa Lucía, El Porvenir, La Yerbabuena, San Jorge, El Quiroga, Granjas de San Pablo, Granjas de Santa Sofía, Los Molinos de Chiguaza and La Fiscala.
“It has a flat part, an extension of the Sabana de Bogotá, where the oldest homes in the town are concentrated and another
part of the mid-mountain, broken territory and slope of accelerated and disorderly growth, of urban misuse and exploitation of quarries and quarries”.
With the accelerated expansion of Bogotá in the 20th century and the armed conflict in the country, “the real expansion began in the 1940s and 1950s, when the great migrations of the population fleeing the violence from the countryside to the city took place. This led immigrants to build their homes in the upper parts, to the east of the sector, which makes it difficult to provide basic services.
Why is that town called that?
The town is an irregular territory in an area of 1,310 hectares. Its name pays homage to the liberal general of the Thousand Days War, Rafael Uribe Uribe and former president of the Republic of Colombia.
He says the legend:
La Piedra Del Amor, Los Chorros de las Lavanderas and El Mirador Parroquia la Resurrección are some of the places to visit in Rafael Uribe Uribe.
The stone of love: legend has it that it is an emblematic and costumbrista stone of the town where couples in love met, and left their signature as a symbol of love, a tradition that is still preserved. Also the memory of casual photos.
Myth:
There is a myth in the stream of the washerwomen in its natural form as these streams emanate from the mountain, they become almost a kind way of nature to obtain and take advantage of this source of water, known as LAS LAVANDERAS, which through decades it became a meeting place for the inhabitants of Rafael Uribe Uribe to wash their clothes daily and was also used as a place for gatherings to discuss the chores and events that arose in the community. That is why this activity is classified as cultural heritage. Today, the Valle and Rincón del Valle neighborhoods that surround the washerwomen's sector have most of the public services.
Their customs:
The town has been working for several years on Artistic, Cultural and Patrimonial issues.
The Art, Culture and Heritage Council exists since 1996, within a district system, being the second after planning that is developed in the entire country.
After a daily struggle of the different cultural unions, artists from different regions of the country were articulated, managing to contribute knowledge, experiences and experiences for the creation of the General Law of Culture, which, from the Constitution of 1991, have been Keeping in mind.
At the beginning of the new millennium, the Arts, Culture and Heritage Council reached its peak, a golden age where they savored the sweetness of success. During the first decade, the Cultural and Heritage Artistic empowerment due to the fact that the Council managed to obtain resources and there was a real strengthening and inclusion within the community, they mutually combined efforts, this helped the seedbed of little artists to sprout and shine with their own light.
More than anything, they worked on art and a culture to be something different where you could visit and see good culture.
Traditions Street football:
If you want to know the points where "micro" or "banquitas" are played in the city, typical in Bogotá, you should be clear that the town of Rafael Uribe is one of the favorites to be part of this.
where hundreds of people usually gather on Sundays with the intention of strengthening their knowledge of street soccer, or simply wanting to enjoy a good morning accompanied by a game with friends.
With his tennis shoes well on and his knee-high socks, we meet Jhonatan Valencia, an athlete who has been practicing different tricks for five years, such as bouncing a ball on the balls of his feet more than 40 or 50 times.
