The cross-border network can be understood as a process of effective articulation and collaboration between researchers and university institutions in the three countries that form the triple border between Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. Its fundamental objective is to systematize information, research, monitor, and publicize results on the pandemic in a joint way, that is, to think of these localities and border municipalities of the three countries as a single cross-border region. This perspective of research and data analysis aims to break with the methodological nationalism so present in research in international border areas. This poses a number of challenges in systematizing joint information, as the institutions of each nation-state develop different methodologies and different time frames for the publication of official data, in addition to problems of underreporting in some cases. These difficulties became very present in the process of producing bulletins from covid 19 in the region, as evidenced here during the dialogue with the researchers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bogota, the capital of Colombia, is one of the most populous cities in the country with about 7,5 million inhabitants (DANE, 2018) with an extension of 164 ha, of which 75% are of rural land, administratively divided into 20 localities (Municipality of Bogotá, 2004) with approximately 1.400 km per lane for 2013 that according to statistics from the IDU Urban Development Institute 50% is in poor condition, was the first Colombian city to have a transit bus system fast (in English: Fast Transit Bus, BRT), and at this time it has an Integrated SIPT Transportation System that brings together all means of passenger transport. According to the report of the Bogotá program as we are going (2018), about 11,700 fatalities have been registered in traffic accidents since 2000, and from 2005 to 2017 it is possible to see a stability in the number of annual deaths due to accidents roads, which is located in an average of between 500 and 570 fatalities per year, in 2018 this indicator dropped to 514 deaths, one of the lowest annual figures of the century. This is why it is necessary for all professionals to focus research on improving the mobility of the city and with it reducing fatalities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Colombia has a high death rate due to traffic accidents, compared to the world reference. In particular, intermediate cities of the country have a very high death rate due to traffic accidents, much higher than the national rate and large cities rate. Municipalities and mobility secretariats have tried to solve these problems through the development of technological services, within the framework of the so-called Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). However, in most cases, these services are not based on an adequate ITS architecture, therefore, interoperability and integration of services is not feasible, generates high costs and its implementation is complex to carry out. The development of the services is not based on ITS architecture, due to the fact that this architecture has not been developed. Although there are works related to regional ITS architectural design methodologies, there is no methodology that considers diverse sources of reference and the particular context of the city. To encourage the development of mobility services, using an appropriate ITS architecture, we develop a methodology to design itinan intermediate city of a developing country. To formulate the methodology, we review the related documentation; we identify best practices; we consider the scope and context; and finally, we defined a logical process that was easy to implement. The present article details design methodology that we elaborate and presents the results obtained when applying the methodology in a particular case. Methodology obtained allowed the design of an ITS architecture for city oí Popayán, in addition we consider that it serves as a tool for development of ITS architectures in similar contexts. ITS architecture designed will allow to plan and implement the mobility services ofthe city in an appropriate way. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on the mobility surveys applied in Bogotá in 1995 and 2011, we compared the levels of motorization, number of trips and modal distribution in these years in the city. This comparison shows a moderate increase in the levels of car ownership and a small modal change from public transportation to private vehicles. However, a trend analysis shows that in the following two decades these changes may be more significant, threatening the sustainability of urban transportation in the city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to provide and share some thoughts from the authors on urban mobility in Colombia from a human development perspective, with the academic community. Successively addresses the following topics: 1). A conceptual approach to sustainable urban mobility that shows the transition of transportation to a sustainable urban mobility and tries to give a definition of one. (2) The concept of mobility as it is an analytical summary of the Colombian Constitution. (3) The public policy of mobility and the dilemma of citizen aspirations, meaning the articulation between the raison d'être of the policies, the reality of the cities, human condition status and the necessary articulation for decision making. (4) The "offer approach" as a framework for the design and implementation of a public policy on mobility from the perspective of human development, as opposed to the traditional "demand approach". Finally, and as a conclusion, the text sets out the main challenges for urban mobility in Colombia from the perspective of the urban development both in the conceptual development and also from the legal point of view; from the political point of view and from the perspective of urban planning with the implementation of a Urban Mobility Plan with an approach to the offer approach.

This paper presents the methodology for making a diagnosis of mobility within university campuses. As a case study is showed the University of Antioquia study. A mobility diagnosis is performed at the University in terms of accessibility to different modes of transportation and parking congestion, a diagnosis that ultimately served as raw material to design a proposed solution for parking congestion and improving the accessibility in the mode used.

The city is the real place in society where people live and perform their activities. Since its creation linked to the field, which makes it sustainable and productive: providing water, environmental services, food, employment and sources of inputs for processing and exchange, forming a diverse structure and supported by endogenous factors of production and consumption, conditions for strategic urban economic growth. But sprawl at the expense of rural areas limits the viability of human life under proper conditions in a given territory. Given the environmental risks and costs, social and economic future generations would pay to continue this trend, it seems appropriate to rectify. The model of territorial occupation of the Sabana del río Bogotá, urban network in a rural area, would restore the ecological balance, economic productivity and social equity and promote good governance and integration into the Capital Region.

The article examines the concept known as relation fight-support in order to evaluate the strengthening of the Colombian armed forces. It emphasizes how in the last decades, and in an erroneous way, it has been argued that an increase in the number of fighters, in detriment of the number of persons that offer support for the battle, leads necessarily to an increase in the fighting capacity. Contrary to this, it stands for the establishment of priorities, the assignment of specific tasks and the improvement in the use of the resources. It is suggested that quantity is not synonym of quality, and it stands for the need to professionalize the military forces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
