The idea of Territorial Intelligence emphasizes the participation of different types fromactors in the decisions that concern to the local territory.Between the communitarian actors, the ocal organizations are fundamental becausethey have an existential knowledge of the geographic space who share the neighbors.That knowledge, is focused generally in the deficiencies of the district or of the districtand it is constituted in its reason of being, like average for the defense as opposed tothe authority of the local government. This so shared in common function is leftlamentably to a quite traditional relation like intermediary between municipality andcommunity annotated. A special case constitutes the cooperative calls of rural servicesor vicinal organizations that are in charge to administer the service of potable water,those that are generally led by people greater or small proprietors of traditionalagriculture. A strong territorial identity can be observed that, as opposed to thetransformations and modernization of the field, subsists exactly by that feeling of root.In the province of Mendoza, the importance of the ocal organizations was increasedduring the decade of the´ 90 with the decentralization processes, to canalize housepolicies, some public works and services in the districts.From a perspective of associated management, projects of economic, cultural,environmental development would have to revitalize their function like organizationsable to also agglutinate not only demands but that they promote to the local territoryfrom other dimensions.With these motivations and the purpose of proposing strategies to induce practices ofocal work with territorial intelligence, a set of reflections that allow to compare thespace distribution and the characteristics of these organizations between 90 years´ andthe present time, in some departments of the province of Mendoza appears.The most important result is expressed in a tipología of ocal unions, with a cartographythat ties feasible territory and social actors to collaborate to generate transformationssocial, specially in rural areas.
