GRAVANO, Ariel. Participatory Challenges in Urban-Environmental Planning: The Anthropological Contribution. univ.humanist. [online]. 2007, n.64, pp.17-40. ISSN 0120-4807.

This essay offers reflections on the anthropological contribution to institutional processes of "community participation" in urban-environmental planning in a metropolitan setting. The case presented is of a participation imposed by law, its difficulties and opportunities, from the different and asymmetrical rationalities in the game. Faced with a concrete demand from the State, we analyze methodological possibilities for adopting a process of effective transformation, through the facilitation of organizational culture issues.

Keywords : participation; planning; urban anthropology; organizational culture; community participation; urban; anthropology corporate culture.
