As comunidades minoritárias de maneira geral e tomando-se as comunidades tradicionais neste trabalho, na busca pela representação e pelo atendimento de suas demandas, que perpassam pela promoção do desenvolvimento econômico sustentável, passam por diversas dificuldades no Brasil, como a abordagem legal e o debate acadêmico acerca do tema é recente (datando da primeira década deste século), um desafio preliminar está circunscrito às definições conceituais. Esta comunicação científica é fruto das ações do primeiro ano da pesquisa institucionalizada pela Universidade Estadual Paulista – UNESP, intitulada “o terceiro setor como caminho para o desenvolvimento de comunidades”, que investiga sob a perspectiva sociológica o processo de desenvolvimento das comunidades tradicionais brasileiras. Nesta seara, este artigo abarca o debate sobre a convergência conceitual entre os termos “comunidade tradicional” e “território”, trazendo elementos teóricos da exploração bibliográfica e práticos levantados por meio da observação sistematizada e da análise documental de comunidades tradicionais.
