Techotiva ambiental: hacia la construcción de un diseño propio para la gobernanza territorial desde abajo

Abstract

The historical background of the town of Kennedy, its participation in protests and social struggles, its geographical position, its water wealth, its own dynamics and characteristics, its participation in this territory in a niche of social organization. Currently, there is a great diversity of groups, patches, networks, processes, and their number is increasing every day, each one of them framed in a common bet that is the construction of a decent territory for its inhabitants. These social processes are often tied to paradigms that delegitimize their ability to organize and influence institutionally, but currently, there are different governance exercises around the world that contradict this statement, this is how Elinor Ostrom raises in her research Government of goods common, eight principles that are necessary to carry out an exercise of territorial government over a common good.

In the present investigation, the level of compliance with each principle of Elinor Ostrom was identified in the process of articulation of Techotiva Ambiental located in the town of Kennedy, this was achieved thanks to a documentary analysis of the systematized experience (2017-2019), carried out using the PC&I tool (Principle Criteria and Indicators), using indexing in light of the eight Ostrom design principles as a method. This methodology identifies and establishes a diagnosis of the state of the process, proposing a series of recommendations and obtaining as a final result the structuring of its own design for community organization as a commitment to Territorial Governance from below.
