Abstract

This article sought to understand how the rescaling strategy is used to influence sociopolitical and power relations and means of promoting certain interests that produce water inequities at local scale, starting from the case study in Ilhabela (North Coast – SP/Brazil). This research is in the field of Political Ecology of Water and employs concepts of ‘creation of new scalar configurations’ and hydrosocial territories. It was possible to verify that in the local hydrosocial territory, the water injustice that leads to the restriction of access to water by certain social groups is not determined by the water availability, but by socio-political and economic aspects, being strongly influenced by the reorganization of the organizational and administrative structure after the formation of a metropolitan region.
