Objective: to analyse the vision of well-being of a rural community and the administration of the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve where it is located, in order to provide information that can improve the management of the protected area. Methodology: qualitative methods were used to study subjective well-being, using grounded theory as a reference. Results: in the community’s vision, there is a strong need to increase social cohesion by rescuing traditional elements and including more modern aspects due people consider the reserve civil servants’ vision insufficient to address the local context. Limitations: the study was based on subjective well-being, which does not widely reflect evaluations on material indicators. Value: local perceptions are emphasized to improve the reserve's contribution to well-being. Conclusion: it is demonstrated the need to include contextualized socio-ecological approaches in the reserve management.
