It was strengthen Remedios' municipality involvement in processes of local development from the critic and effective social approach of obstacles and potentials. Most of the obstacles distinguished are of subjective matter and reproduce vertical, welfare and sector-directed positions, and little social participation; but the extent of potentials resulted superior to that of obstacles when municipal management is strengthened, managing to promote an harmonic and sustainable local development according to the municipality's own conditions.
