Abstract
The socio-ecological consequences of the appropriation and dispossession processes originated by tourism megaprojects have been documented, as well as the beneficial changes and the way to reduce their negative impacts. In the coastal municipality of San Marcos, Guerrero, Mexico, a project of this nature will be developed, so the objective of the work was to analyze the possible effects that it may have on the socioecosystem. The "agency" and "social structure" were established, based on semi-structured interviews, field observations and land use cartography. The current scenario shows an agency defined by multiple labor identities, the cattle ranch among them. The social structure exhibits 3 driving forces, the agrarian policy supported by the "sistema de cargos", the economic-cultural ones mainly due to the use of grasslands, and the natural forces, represented by labor activities in the not "transformed" ecosystems, threatened by land use changes and pollution. Social risks conjecture a differential impact between urban and rural residents, and ecological risks, depending on whether they are ecosystems such as beaches, jungle or aquatic environments. The standardization of new practices is necessary together with a socio-institutional perspective and the bottom-up organization to counteract the impacts of the project.
