Abstract


There have been studies that seek to understand how community organizations have created, through their participation, spaces of opportunity for the generation of public policies, where they have been shaped in such a way that they have generated alternatives and strategies in coordination with agents external to the government, to solve some of their problems. It is important to understand that the lack of social dynamics fractures the development process. Therefore, we must not lose sight of local participation, since it is through it that the organization of the subjects can be potentiated, based on the diversity of spaces and actors as an essential basis for development, where proposals can be built that are capable of generating new paths for joint action.this work obeys a specific interest based on a social dynamic generated in the community space and its interrelation with citizen participation. Three fundamental aspects are considered: public policies, organization and community, which are interrelated in the dynamics of any municipality that seeks to formalize relationships in the context of the common good, in this case, in the town of El Maye in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico.in the research, information was obtained that enables the analysis of community dynamics in terms of organization, for the generation of local public policies, where there are defined interests of its actors, as a way to build alternatives that benefit the community.
