Abstract

The research emerges from the debates on endogenous or territorial development that have permeated the world since the 1980s with the changes resulting from globalization, but emphasizing the nine intangible capitals proposed by Boisier in his studies as factors that should be present in the development process. It seeks to identify the intangible capitals in the production of Canastra artisancheese in the municipalities of Medeiros and São Roque de Minas. It is a research approach is quantitative-qualitative, since it brings quantifiable data in the adapted questionnaire and at the same time complements these data measuring opinions obtained in the interviews and method used was a case study with a form structured in the format of Likert Scale of 5 points adapted from the World Bank and interviews applied to cheese producers, traders from the municipalities of Medeiros and São Roque de Minas, and to public and private institutions directly or not involved in the production of artisanal cheese observing the cooperation, trust and other characteristics of intangible capital present in the local community of the two municipalities. Data analysis showed a dispersion of the nine intangible capitals mentioned by Boisier in the municipalities studied without an integrative agent in them, establishing the understanding that the articulation of the capitals found did not establish a synergy to boost the development of the region.
