Vol. 5 No. 1 (2022): January-June

Volume 5, Number 1 (January–June 2022) brings together three studies that, from the lenses of public management and territorial development, address the challenges of municipal planning, post‑conflict economic recovery, and community provision of basic services. Danilo Cortés and Duván Patiño examine the drafting and monitoring of the Annual Investment Operating Plan (POAI) in Villavicencio’s city hall (2020‑2023), identifying progress and recommending improvements to better align the budget with the development plan and strengthen early‑warning financial systems. Nicolás Perdomo and Edgar Herrera, using a mixed‑method design, explore how the armed conflict affected the activity, revenue, and profit margins of commercial establishments in Lejanías (Meta) between 1997 and 2007, providing insights for the University of the Llanos’ Territorial Observatory. Lastly, Angie Reyes and Luz Peña analyze the economic and social conditions of Villavicencio’s community aqueducts in 2018, highlighting their role in water supply and local development. Together, the volume offers an integrated view of planning, economic resilience, and community resource management in Latin‑American contexts.
