Abstract

The paper incorporates concepts of Legal Geography to study legal proceedings that refer to socio-territorial and socio-environmental disputes. The aim is to illustrate the extent to which Geography is used in judicial cases that merit it and what it contributes to the resolution of lawsuits linked to environmental-territorial issues and under what circumstances judicial processes of this nature are initiated. As a case study, a legal action confronting a sector of the Villa Gesell organized community with the Municipal State and businessmen who planned a tourist-housing complex and a gated community in the town’s coastal areas was selected. Methodologically, fieldwork was carried out in the space in conflict. At a second stage, the analysis of the judicial process was carried out by means of a question guide, and a chart was prepared to present the answers.
