The convergence between ecological inequalities - that we conceive as linked to human habitat in a broad sense - and social inequalities, in the context of sustainable development issues, retain the interest of geographers and agronomists working on resources availability and on societies' capacity to take advantage on it. Here, we deal with anthroposystems habitat and resources, at the oekoumen margins. In the fourth region of Chile (Coquimbo Region), mountain and aridity, techniques, sharing land history and the liberal economic model constitute an entity in which sustainable development implementation and perspectives raise many contradictions. These contradictions are lived by rural production actors and studied by researchers. We will examine ecological and social inequality realities through these four points.
