Contextualization: The locality of Suba, specifically the Tibabuyes Zonal Planning Unit (UPZ), corresponds to a sector of the city of Bogotá which, due to its unbalanced expansion process, has led people to settle illegally on Protected Areas such as the Juan Amarillo Wetland, the Conejera Wetland, and the Bogotá River Special Management Zone, which belong to the Main Ecological Structure and are exposed to natural phenomena such as flooding. 

 

Knowledge Gap: the phenomenon of informal occupation has become a pattern that does not favor the sustainability of the city of Bogotá and affects the quality of life, poverty and a wide social problem that affects the inhabitants and that can generate important land occupation consequences for the country and significantly increase risk.

 

Purpose: to design a conceptual proposal to reduce the risk of flooding in UPZ Tibabuyes.

 

Methodology: a methodology focused on Participatory Action (PAR) was used, within which three research phases were established. where perception analyzes were carried out in the area according to the needs established by the water round, in which the threat could be categorized according to the flood scenarios, for this the evaluation parameters were determined (high, when the sheet of water is> 1.0 m and its speed is greater than 2.0 m / s), and the category (average, when the sheet of water is> 0.5 <1.0 m and its speed is between 1.5 to 2.0 m / s). 

 

Results and conclusions: The action plan consisting of 17 strategies was determined, out of which 10 correspond to implemented strategies in the event of a high flood risk scenario, and the 7 complementary strategies should be used in the event of a medium risk scenario. flood. In both, the affected population, the requirements and technical activities to be developed are related, together with an estimated budget and its possible sources of financing.
