Objective:

To interpret the projections of social agents who, from the local scale, raise the need to establish territorial agreements that counteract conflicts over the access, use and regulation of socio-environmental resources.

Methodology:

An exercise in the georeferencing of basins and mining exploitation in the study area was applied, as well as project ethnography to 30 people coming from the public sector, environmental organizations and small-scale farmers.

Results:

The case reveals a high degree of distortion in the access, use and regulation of socio-environmental resources, a matter that corresponds to the dispersion and limited options for solution from the responsible public and private institutional agents.

Conclusions:

The interpretation of territorial processes that arise apart from the strictly sectoral scale, recognizes the possibility of establishing projects that mitigate the socio-environmental conflict conditions that produce, at the local scale, the effects of the global socio-economic change in the empirical substratum of social networks.
