TERRITORY: A STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL POLICIES

It is based on the assumption that the concept of territory constitutes a fundamental foundation in the elaboration of social policies, since it allows an understanding of the problematic of the socio-territorial dynamics. This category of geographic analysis can assist social policies by loading interdisciplinary and incorporating content. The process of integrating the concept and carrying out the territorial reading is fundamental for the development of public policies and decision-making in public agencies. Considering that the socio-ideological expressions are in the territory, the present article seeks to reflect on the optics of the authors who discuss the concept based on materiality and immateriality, not as two distinct things, but as two integrating objects for effective comprehension of the manifestations objective and subjective found in the territory.
