Sumario:In Brazil and much of Latin America has increased the use of the terms of territory and identity to name and to base projects and government programs aimed at addressing their rural areas. Thus, it was deemed valid to make a reflection regarding the use of these terms, especially when associated with: areas of Identity.

It is observed that current policies for rural development are based on concepts that bring in scope to attempt to underestimate the component “power” and overvalue other elements, particulary the “identity”, when the definition and delimitation of territory(ies). Wonders, therefore, in this article, the conceptual definitions of territory and the territory of Identity, and the attempt to transform it into a unit scale of planning and government action.Keywords: Territory, Identity, Identity Territories.
