Aprovechamiento de los recursos de uso común basado en proyectos educativos comunitarios en la localidad de Omiltemi, Gro.

Abstract

The concept of common-pool resources (CPR) was proposed by Garrett Hardin in 1968, warning that their uncontrolled consumption could lead to their extinction. However, subsequent research, such as that by Elinor Ostrom, demonstrated that organization and collective work make it posible to manage these resources sustainably. This research aimed to promote the care and utilization of CPR in the Campesino Learning Community (CAC) of Omiltemi, Guerrero, based on community pedagogy and focusing on the dimensions of forest, water, and land. A qualitative and participatory methodology was employed, in which community workshops were implemented as the main strategy for diagnosis, training, and the co-construction of knowledge. In addition, observation techniques, surveys, and asset mapping were used to identify available resources and local capacities. The results show that conducting workshops strengthened collective learning and generated enthusiasm in the community, as well as revealing the need for new knowledge for better resource utilization. It is concluded that community pedagogies and participatory workshops represent a viable alternative for fostering development and empowerment in localities with low state intervention, enabling new perspectives on the sustainable management of resources.
