This thesis examines the rural transformations experienced by the Peasant Community of Sumbilca (Huaral, Lima, Peru) over the past three decades and analyzes how territorial governance is configured in response to them. Combining a household survey and interviews with municipal and communal authorities with census records, satellite-based multitemporal analysis, and institutional data on land tenure and territorial conflicts, the study identifies a shift from Andean subsistence agriculture toward commercial fruit production, alongside perceptions of environmental degradation, particularly declining water availability, and sustained juvenile out-migration. Demographic trajectories do not align with local service provision: the district capital is losing population while smaller, less-serviced annexes grow, suggesting that productive dynamism rather than infrastructure shapes settlement patterns. Regarding governance, a differentiated relationship with the State emerges, in which central government programs are positively valued while municipal governance concentrates criticism, amid territorial conflicts along the community's southern boundary. By articulating participatory evidence with geospatial analysis, this research contributes to understanding how rural transformation and territorial governance intersect in Andean peasant communities.
Esta tesis examina las transformaciones rurales experimentadas por la Comunidad Campesina de Sumbilca (Huaral, Lima, Perú) durante las últimas tres décadas y analiza cómo se configura la gobernanza territorial en respuesta a ellas. Combinando una encuesta de hogares y entrevistas con autoridades municipales y comunales con registros censales, análisis multitemporales satelitales y datos institucionales sobre tenencia de la tierra y conflictos territoriales, el estudio identifica un cambio de la agricultura andina de subsistencia hacia la producción comercial de frutas, junto con percepciones de degradación ambiental, en particular una menor disponibilidad de agua, y una emigración juvenil sostenida. Las trayectorias demográficas no se alinean con la prestación de servicios locales: la capital del distrito está perdiendo población mientras crecen los anexos más pequeños y con menos servicios, lo que sugiere que el dinamismo productivo, más que la infraestructura, da forma a los patrones de asentamiento. En materia de gobernabilidad, emerge una relación diferenciada con el Estado, en la que los programas del gobierno central son valorados positivamente mientras que la gobernanza municipal concentra las críticas, en medio de conflictos territoriales en el límite sur de la comunidad. Al articular evidencia participativa con análisis geoespacial, esta investigación contribuye a comprender cómo la transformación rural y la gobernanza territorial se cruzan en las comunidades campesinas andinas.

Abstract
This thesis examines the rural transformations experienced by the Peasant Community of Sumbilca (Huaral, Lima, Peru) over the past three decades and analyzes how territorial governance is configured in response to them. Combining a household survey and interviews with municipal and communal authorities with census records, satellite-based multitemporal analysis, and institutional data on land tenure and territorial conflicts, the study identifies a shift from Andean subsistence agriculture toward commercial fruit production, alongside perceptions of environmental degradation, particularly declining water availability, and sustained juvenile out-migration. Demographic trajectories do not align with local service provision: the district capital is losing population while smaller, less-serviced annexes grow, suggesting that productive dynamism rather than infrastructure shapes settlement patterns. Regarding governance, a differentiated relationship with the State emerges, in which central government programs are positively valued while municipal governance concentrates criticism, amid territorial conflicts along the community's southern boundary. By articulating participatory evidence with geospatial analysis, this research contributes to understanding how rural transformation and territorial governance intersect in Andean peasant communities.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
