Abstract
Introduction and objective: Within the context of the II Research Sessions of the University of Costa Rica’s (UCR) Social Sciences Faculty, this article examines the potential for social change of participatory methodologies for environmental management, especially within the emerging field of socio-hydrology. To this end, we introduce two research projects currently in development that seek to influence decision-making at various governance levels. [Read more in the article]
