DIALOGUES FOR INTEGRATIVE SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL REPARATION IN A COMMUNITY-BASED PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH

Resumen

Integrative socio-environmental approach aimed at comprehensive reparation through Community-Based Participatory Research conducted in the rural community of Lagoa dos Cavalos, municipality of Russas, Ceará, Brazil. The theoretical and methodological contributions from a well-established Ecuadorian initiative aimed at integral reparation, known as the Clinica Ambiental, were crucial in addressing the following question: How can processes of shared knowledge creation enhance the community plan for the Lagoa dos Cavalos territory, thereby strengthening its traditions, lifestyles, and health and good living practices? Discussions are initiated for reparations aimed at healing approaches in territories affected by the destructive logic of neo-extractivism. It has been recognized that the epistemological foundations for knowledge production require updates that support the preservation of the right to life. Additionally, the concept of reparation can facilitate community-based participatory experiences in contexts of socio-environmental conflicts.
