ISEE-881 Objective: To implement a sustainable project to combat poverty and empowerment of the community regarding aspects of environmental health, agroecological production, and territorial development using GIS; and prevention of Chagas Disease. Material and Methods: GIS-Territorial-Development, Participatory Research-Workshops. A sustainable, productive agroecological project was designed and implemented in 20 families of San Pedro Chacabal, Yucatan, Mexico. In order to measure the mid-term impact of the educative strategy on future conduct of the inhabitants of the population, a program of Chagas disease prevention was conducted focusing on 48 children of an elementary school. A program of 14 workshops were imparted on sustainable territorial development, environmental health, conservation, Chagas disease prevention, and agroecology. Results: The workshops demonstrated a community empowerment. So far, the productive project has had a multiplying effect in local families. As far as environmental health was concerned, children collected 182 triatomine vectors (17 wild, 24 peridomestic, and 141 domiciliary). Having found 6 triatomine nymphs indicates colonization of the vectors in some households, and the group of houses with greater infestation was located near agricultural zones. Positive attitude changes were observed which will help improve the community's living conditions, better management of their natural resources, gain knowledge to prevent Chagas Disease, agricultural activities, rural territorial development by means of a GIS, and promote the forestry development in their backyards, and student parcels. Conclusions: The geographic characterization of the landscape and its association to vector presence, and reservoirs coexisting in agricultural areas and their handling through GIS, will allow a holistic view on possible infection niches, which will be planned and presented to local authorities. The participative strategies have demonstrated effectiveness in the empowerment of knowledge for the development of productive activities, local development with an agroecological approach at the level of cornfields and backyards. Using the preliminary results of triatomine captures, control programs using community participation will be designed.
