This research on basic services and their impact on the quality of life of the inhabitants of the San Vicente del Jobo site focuses on the management of municipal entities and community directives to provide basic services. In the place of study, the realities of the limited coverage and expansion of these goods are still deficient in the sector, which is why it generates discomfort in the inhabitants.

The methodology used in the investigation is mixed, which is sociologically based on the functionalist structural of the American sociologist Talcott Parsons, his hypothetical deductive epistemological approach and which techniques such as the survey and interview were applied, which allowed the identification of the problems existing in the study context. Through the findings achieved with the application of the techniques, it is reflected that the basic services provided to the inhabitants of the San Vicente del Jobo site are not in optimal conditions, causing citizens to suffer from various problems such as diseases derived from the poor quality of services. sewage, water and solid waste.
