OCAMPO-GONZALEZ, Melina y GONZALEZ-BECERRIL, Juan Gabino. Key drivers of migration due to violence in urban areas: a case of Medellin, Colombia. Pap. poblac [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.96, pp.119-156. ISSN 2448-7147. https://doi.org/10.22185/24487147.2018.96.17.
The displaced people of Colombia constitute one of the world´s largest populations of IDP (IMDC 2017). This forced displacement is mainly caused by the internal conflict in Colombia which has been going on for more than 60 years. As the dynamics of the conflict have fluctuated, the conflict has expanded to some urban centres such as Medellin. Since then, intra-urban forced displacement has been a matter of great concern in this metropolitan area. The main aim of this research is to better understand violence-induced migration in urban areas, specifically in Medellin, Colombia, seeking to identify the challenges that any approach focused on preventing forced displacement in Medellin should take into consideration. For this purpose The Migration out of Poverty’s ‘Drivers of Migration’ theory (2012) will be applied to this case study. The main sources of information will be the testimonies of Medellin’s forced displaced population from 2010 and observation during fieldwork carried out in the same year.
