Tras la promoción del desarrollo sostenible, la pugna por la conservación de los espacios naturales o semi-intervenidos ha buscado programas que integren el crecimiento económico, los flujos ecosistémicos y el mejoramiento de las condiciones socioeconómicas de comunidades locales. Ante esto, las naciones latinoamericanas han creado marcos políticos de pago por servicios ambientales (PSA); empero,existe un vacío empírico en las implicaciones territoriales que tienen estos programas en determinados sistemas socioecológicos históricamente funcionales para el campesinado. Este artículo identifica los “supuestos” que fomentan los programas PSA en América Latina y analiza teóricamente las implicancias territoriales del cambio de uso del suelo sobre la titulación de tierras, el poder y el equilibrio, las estructuras comunitarias, la exclusión e inequidad social, la resignificación de los elementos territoriales y la lógica del nuevo mercado.
In the context of the promotion of sustainable development, the struggle for the conservation of natural or partially intervened spaces has fostered programs that integrate economic growth, ecosystem flows, and the improvement of the socioeconomic conditions of local communities. In view of this, Latin American nations have created policy frameworks for the Payment of Ecosystem Services (PES), but there is an empirical void regarding the territorial implications of these programs on certain socio-ecological systems that are historically functional for the rural populations. The article identifies the "assumptions" fostered by PES programs in Latin America and carries out a theoretical analysis of the territorial implications of changes in land use for land titling projects, power and equilibrium, community structures, exclusion and social inequality, the reattribution of meaning to territorial elements, and the logic of the new market.
Após a promoção do desenvolvimento sustentável, a luta pela conservação dos espaços naturais ou semi-interceptados vem buscando programas que integrem o crescimento econômico, os fluxos ecossistêmicos e o melhoramento das condições socioeconômicas de comunidades locais. Diante disso, as nações latino-americanas criaram referenciais políticos de pagamento por serviços ambientais (PSA); contudo, existe um vazio empírico nas implicações territoriais que têm esses programas em determinados sistemas socioecológicos historicamente funcionais para o campesinato. Este artigo identifica os "supostos" que fomentam os programas PSA na América Latina e analisa teoricamente as implicações territoriais da mudança de uso do solo sobre a titulação de terras, o poder e o equilíbrio, as estruturas comunitárias, a exclusão e inequidade social, a ressignificação dos elementos territoriais e a lógica do novo mercado.
