Abstract

This article discusses the priority environmental interests of the population in extreme poverty of the neighborhood El Ensueño, municipality of Cordoba, and of the public and private institutions that serve this population through their programs to understand the aspects less evident, as are the emergence of environmental conflicts. Given the complexity of the study used a methodological approach to analysis-synthesis to give an account of an analytical research, using qualitative methods. Conflicts between families in extreme poverty and the public and private institutions selected for the case study are due to the institutional weakness, that translates into minimal impact that have the social programs and the high level of centralism in which the beneficiaries of the programs are selected from the national level in obedience to political criteria more than technical ones. This fact gives rise to conflict, not only between the entities and their families directly involved, but also between the same entities of the State. In that order of ideas, the priority environmental interests can be an instrument from the environmental sciences to contribute to the evaluation of public policies in Colombia, because they allow you to consolidate economic variables, social environmental and through the holistic view of environmental problems. Similarly, in the deployment scenario of a possible peace agreement with the guerrillas of the FARC, which provides for the need to design and implement public policies in peace-building to reconcile the social and environmental conflicts of the territories hit hardest by the armed conflict, address environmental concerns priority would enable the identification and triangulation of social and environmental information for the resolution of these.
