Abstract

Given the current complexity of global society where elements are experienced gradually changing territorial structures (political, social, cultural, economic and educational) as causing discomfort; fragmentation of territorial units, poverty, unemployment and increased complexity arises need to consider mechanisms for dealing with such problems. These mechanisms sprout from the same base of territory from a capital synergistic, catalyzing, potentially and creating -if not existing nine subjective and intangible capital that enable systemically operate a process of endogenous development. For this reason, it is timely to reflect on the role of humans as territorial species, capable of transforming its own territory, more dynamic, and close it operationally in a way that suits the global context.
