THE DYNAMICS OF TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT IN RURAL COMMUNITIES

Abstract

The experiences around territorial development are diverse, depending on the space and context in which they have been developed, adopted different approaches, dynamics or dimensions that have shaped the development of communities. The article approaches the study of the dynamics of territorial development in the rural context, based on the theoretical review of the available literature. It is noted that there are various positions that contribute to the development processes, where the community participates in different ways, being a protagonist in that search for solutions to the local problem, it is also observed that the articulation of the dynamics and coordination of the agents and actors of development are those that define the rhythm of the changes and transformations of the communities. To the extent of the population's involvement in the planning, implementation and monitoring processes of development programs and projects, territorial development is consolidated in a more systematic and appropriate way.
