Innovación social proyectos para el desarrollo local sostenible:

Abstract

This article intends to analyze innovative projects that have been successful in the promotion of sustainable development and improvement in quality of life of indigenouscommunities in Mexico. Three projects are considered: eco-touristic park, communalhouse and agro-businesses in the indigenous community of Tlajomulco (Jalisco), to studythe scope and limitations of social innovation in the promotion of sustainable local development. A qualitative methodology was used involving participative investigation-action. The findings show that collaboration is essential to achieve success in such projects,but they do not depend exclusively on the existence of trust and mutual benefit betweenthe parties involved as literature suggests, but also the capacity to transcend individualinterests and work jointly towards attaining collective interests that promote sustainabledevelopment of the community. This finding represents a contribution to specialized literature in the area and calls to reflection and action to promote effective collaborativepractices in the field of sustainable local development.
