GOMEZ DUQUE, Catalina  y  MUNEVAR QUINTERO, Claudia. The effectiveness of legal participation in the environmental conflict of the Rio Blanco Forest Reserve. Rev. repub. [online]. 2022, n.33, pp.217-236.  Epub 27-Feb-2023. ISSN 1909-4450.  https://doi.org/10.21017/rev.repub.2022.v33.a135.

The article presents the results of the case study of Rio Blanco and Quebrada Olivares Protected Forest Reserve, which started from the research problem that addressed the effectiveness of citizen participation in the conflict generated in the surrounding sector of the protected area. The methodological strategy was focused on a socio-legal investigation applying the principles of an empirical-analytical approach. Firstly, the study area and the legal and contextual background were described. Secondly, a conceptual approach of the main socio-legal referents that explain the environmental conflict generated in relation to the case study were addressed. Finally, the legal mechanisms that constituted the scenarios of citizen participation were carefully analyzed. It is concluded that in addition to mobilizing the exercise of judicial mechanisms, they generate socio-legal consequences around the internalization of rights, the transformation of the conflict and the legitimacy of legal compliance.
