Diálogos Socioambientais

Volume 7, issue 20 of the Diálogos Socioambientales journal, titled "Commons, Struggles, and Territorial Planning", is a special edition organized by guest editors Marcelo Aversa and Vanessa Lucena Empinotti. This publication, aims to explore "commons" as an alternative to traditional models of property and governance, promoting collaborative and community-driven practices.

The editorial, signed by the guest editors, highlights commons as a central axis for discussing human relationships with nature, social justice, sustainability, participatory democracy, and sociocultural movements. This issue pays tribute to scholar Rodrigo Paixão, whose trajectory was marked by the defense of collective goods and the application of commons principles in urban planning practices. The journal also features interviews and articles connecting commons to issues such as technology, urbanization, agroecology, social struggles, and resistance practices.

The diversity of topics addressed in this edition reflects the journal's commitment to fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, combining theoretical reflections with case studies and practical experiences. Furthermore, the journal seeks to contribute to building a more equitable and sustainable society, based on cooperation and the strengthening of community ties.
