Abstract:
|
"This study analyzes the dynamics of a social conflict in the Colombian municipality of San Pedro due an operating regional Landfill. It also lays out a proposal for an institutional change in the regulative strategy for the siting of landfills based on the granting of communal property rights. It is argued that to improve the bargaining power of potential host communities vis-a-vis the project developer, a radical change in the participative possibilities of both, potential host communities and the environmental bureaucracies are needed. The case study's analytical strategy was used, thus providing rival explanations on relevant issues such as the performance of the company and the environmental bureaucracies. Semi-structure interviews and documentary data were the techniques employed to gather empirical information."
