In Colombia, urban areas are defined according to increased infrastructure, building and transportation network density, and levels of public services, while rural areas are characterized by lower housing densities, a lack of infrastructure, and a predominance of agricultural, pasture and forest dominated land uses. Since a myriad of definitions for urban and rural classifications exists in the literature it is important to define such concepts. Urban population growth across the world is one of the most influential phenomena affecting earth's sustainability and overall global change as it affects not only societies, but the environment and climate as well. Findings are used to discuss how socioeconomic and political phenomena such as armed conflict can have complex effects on the dynamics of anthropogenic and ecological change as well as movement of humans in countries like Colombia. Indeed, anthropogenic change pertaining to different regions have had different correlations with forced migration, and across different time periods.
Results also show that it is negatively related to interregional displacement.
We found that forced migration is significantly and positively related to an increasing rural-urban type of migration which results from armed conflict. We also analyze spatiotemporal relationships between socioeconomic and anthropogenic changes, which are caused by forced migration. In addition, we use remote sensing, Google Earth Engine, as well as spatial statistical analyses of demographic data in order to measure anthropogenic change between 19-a socio-politically important period in Colombia’s armed conflict. To better understand the processes associated with this change, we explore the spatial relationship between forced migration due to armed conflict and changing socioeconomic factors in Colombia, a country which has a recent history of 7 million internal migrants. However, internal migration patterns and armed conflicts are also key drivers of anthropogenic and demographic processes.
Anthropogenic change has been associated with population growth, land use change, and changing economies.
