This article presents the results of a research process in a rural area where situations of conflict between younger and older generations in public spaces are evidenced daily. These conflicts, conditioned by social, political, economic and cultural aspects, impacted significantly on the possibilities and projects of social subjects involved, by hindering the production of capital for an intergenerational social reproduction to ensure healthy lifestyles. In this context, and from a qualitative-ethnographic methodology, we propose to know the ways of intergenerational relationship to design social policies that promote collective processes of community conflict resolution. We concluded that the aspects related to the intergenerational conflict in the public space are keys to take into account to improve local community development.
