San Matias Shelter in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, an Alternative for a Sustainable Attention Model for Migrants
Abstract
This research is the result of an exploratory work where the dynamics of migration in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, was linked with the need to offer sustainable spaces to serve the growing number of people on the move who are in the border city. The objective was to analyze the experience of creating a shelter for migrants with sustainability characteristics. It contemplated internal and external migration as a contextual variable in the face of the need to create decent spaces for the care of people in mobility who pass through, stay for a while or settle in the city. The assumption that guided the research considers that the characteristics of a sustainable shelter are consistent with the precepts of sustainable development. It was developed from a qualitative and exploratory study of a specific case: the San Matias shelter. The results exposed the context of vulnerability in which people in mobility find themselves in the face of the great need to have care spaces. Here it is shown that a sustainable shelter reduces the vulnerability, precariousness, and legal transience of migrants. In conclusion, the work shows an option to solve the problems faced by both people in a situation of mobility and the host communities in the face of increased migration. The sustainable shelter model could be replicated in other places that face similar problems.
