We understand STCs as complex social processes characterised by power asymmetries, in which diverse interests of collective actors (territorial and extraterritorial) are manifested as evidence of the different ways of understanding the territory and its development. This area analyses tensions, disputes and/or controversies that affect territories in terms of their functioning and governance, access to and use of their resources, the ways in which these are distributed, and the criteria that define the inclusion/exclusion of the different social actors in the deliberation and decision-making that determine their development trajectories. Based on the understanding of the changes that these conflicts provoke and their contribution or not to the promotion of virtuous territorial dynamics, we propose strategies for their treatment and transformation seeking to link the visions of the different actors involved, especially those historically excluded.
