In this context, the The problem was to assess social perceptions about the importance of the participation of traditional authorities in the management of land conflicts. The research was based primarily on in qualitative methods, in this context, in the collection of data I privileged bibliographic research, direct observation, open and semi-structured interviews, conversations and life history. The research results reveal that traditional authorities participate in the management of land conflicts because it constitutes a strategy of the local community to strengthen security of land tenure that is socially recognized, thus guaranteeing security of land tenure and use and also by these have recognition not only at the local level but their legitimation at the state level.
