Methodological Guide for the Study of Human Settlements in Rural Areas: Housing of Cultural Interest. Case Study: Orocué, Casanare

Abstract

The article serves as a guide for analyzing human settlements in rural areas, offering support for the new housing of cultural interest policy in Colombia. It focusses on the sociocultural dimension and the human experience of a home by examining the vernacular techniques and practices used for construction projects and habitat adaptation. The proposed approach provides a practical means of gathering architectural and cultural information by establishing close relationships with communities. It will enable academics, architects, construction companies and public entities to develop sustainable, viable and appropriate projects in vulnerable areas.
