High degree of involvement of the Council with society

The level of involvement obtained was very significant, strengthening the interaction, the relationship with the process of implementation and management of the APA as well as in the performance of the councilors, their organizations of origin, the sector represented in the Council, and other social actors and society in general.

This was possible thanks to the direct insertion of the actors within the APA and its deliberative nature, it was also possible thanks to having introduced a process of building and reinforcing trust between the parties to counteract the effects of previous conflictive situations on land use and it is for this reason that the involvement of the councilors was an element present from the beginning.

Another favorable factor was the monthly frequency of the Council meetings.

The monthly meetings have proven to be an important tool to favor and encourage the participation of the management body, and it has also been learned that the quick response to the problems raised by the board members promotes a great feeling of inclusion in the participatory process.
