“…The cycle of capital influx and urban development can lead to inequality in many ways (Mishra et al, 2022). Development of urban areas, often in the form of large developer driven construction projects, creates advantage and wealth for some, and displacement and disadvantages for others (Amin, 2006;Fainstein et al, 1992;Tonkiss, 2013;Zukin, 2008).…”

Population displacement is difficult to measure, but quantifying its presence is critical to delineating the scope, scale and potential causes of displacement’s effect in urban areas. This paper considers whether the widely available data used to measure turnover can be effectively used to measure other forms of population change. The article presents two new metrics, the Fresh Faces Ratio and the Replacement Index, that better capture some of the nuances of physical and psycholog-ical displacement. It then applies these metrics to city quarters within the city of Zurich, Switzerland, correlates them with turnover and new construction statistics, and assesses their accuracy against residents’ perceptions of change. The research finds that both metrics offer suitable proxies to identify areas where exceptional population changes are taking place, and where residents have a strong sense of these changes. The new metrics can help assess what physical or psychological displacement may or may not result from urban development and new housing construction. Since the new metrics use turnover data already widely available, they are easily adaptable to less data-rich contexts than Zurich.

Social migration affects the development of rural territories in multiple ways, as it poses a threat to food security and hinders the achievement of sustainable development objectives. The purpose of this research is to represent peasant migration and measure its impact on food security, since it creates conditions that alter people’s access to healthy food. Our research question is: What variables can be used to measure the impact of peasant migration on food security? A three-stage model is implemented, which includes (i) the acquisition of knowledge, (ii) the representation of knowledge, and (iii) decision-making. These stages are the basis of the methodology developed by the ARCOSES research group (Méndez A. System Dynamics and Social Problems. Bogotá: Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, 2012). The model developed to represent peasant migration and its impact on food security has five components. The model representation was applied in 58 typical rural municipalities, observing a potential loss of 30,580,000 tons of food, which amounts to 5% of the national production. Likewise, it was observed that 70% of migrating farmers are part of the economically active population. Colombian governorships should strive towards a greater and more comprehensive development of rural municipalities in order to avoid massive displacement to urban regions, which affects the availability of rural labor, causes poor agricultural production levels and compromises food sustainability. To ensure peasants’ full access to food and their well-being, an assertive intervention should be carried out by the Colombian State.
