It is usually endorsed the responsible for social injustice to the capitalist system, by arguing that unequal access of population to social goods has to do with its own nature. It could be then deduced that social inequality would have historically accompanied of a differential appropriation of the territory (geodiversity). In sociopolitical realities confronted with capitalism, it has been usual to raise voices clamoring for social justice and also for territorial justice. That is why is explicit the need to 'balance' the territory.

The reason to reflect on this issue is associated with the fact that from geog-raphy, much more in the globalization context, but also by the particular situ-ation that has being developed for over a decade in Venezuela, the concern about the search for social justice -and its territorial correlate- underlies, precisely, the geographic knowledge and the institutional planning of this country.

Keywords : geography; territorial imbalances; geographical space; inequal-ity; justice; planning; territory.
