Abstract

This article deals with the construction of the Community Factor in organizations of displaced communities (ODC) in Medellin. This factor is related to the individual and group experience that the ODC have consolidated as part of support networks by providing identity elements that enhance their practices, make joint administration of productive projects as well as shared value promotion possible. The methodology applied is complementary between the qualitative and quantitative methods, using a sample of ten ODC using techniques like interview, workshops and surveys. The results establish that the ODC are strategies which move the population to look for better living conditions by developing interactions which provides the necessary context to create the C Factor in social energy and solidarity.
