Abstract

FEITO, María Carolina. Rural development in the department of Pilar, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Cuad. Desarro. Rural [online]. 2010, vol.7, n.64, pp.59-79. ISSN 0122-1450.

The present article analyzes the role of the municipality and municipal policies related to the problems of horticulturists, considering that the local governments' new functions imply a new profile of the State. In Pilar, intervention strategies were reformulated for the administration of horticultural spaces. The core concepts for local development, territory profile, role of the civil society, and challenge to municipal administration were revised through research progress that applies qualitative methodology along with ethnographic field work on a variety of municipal environments of Partido del Pilar. The response capacity of the local government bureaucratic structures is, at the moment, appropriate for the producers' demands. Some coordination and articulation between and within the municipality governmental agencies is envisioned.

Keywords : Local Development; Rural Policies; Territory Profile.
