Forced displacement in Colombia is a phenomenon that has changed the socio-demographic structure of the country and that is related to social inequalities (DANE, 2012). In this paper we address the impact of geographical relocation on the configuration of social support networks of the displaced population. Displaced (n = 30) and non-displaced individuals (n = 32) are compared in the Atlantic Department of the Caribbean region in Colombia. Through cluster analysis two types of personal networks were identified: 1) those with an intermediate level of density and moderately high levels of centralization and 2) personal networks with high levels of density and low levels of centralization. Both categories are distributed similarly among the group of displaced people and the rest of the population. The personal networks of displaced people have a higher proportion of individuals residing outside Barranquilla. There is also less availability of social support in denser personal networks and among the displaced individuals are residing less than five years in Barranquilla.

Palabras llave : structural analysis; social cohesion; Colombia; forced displacement; personal networks.
