Abstract

Experience has shown that drafting municipal ordinances has been governed by two main principles: common good observance and administrative power. The purpose of this research was to make a unification of environmental ordinances for the protection, conservation and recovery of natural resources from Tecapa-Chinameca mountain range. The subjects of analysis were mayors and environmental technicians of the municipalities from the mountain range. Following Mertens (2005) & Colmenares (2012), the type of study was Participatory Action Research. The analysis was qualitative. Finally, it was found that there is environmental concern of local governments on the need to address sustainable development and fulfillment of environmental legislation.
