Begging is a practice of self-management that is used by people with limited resources and who fail in the mechanisms of social integration of the primary network, market, intervention by private and public entities, is highly related to poverty and inequality and defines it as the skill through which money is obtained without working, becoming one of the problems that could not be completely eradicated. A general objective was therefore proposed, which is: Determine the impact of begging on the tourist and ornate image of the city of Machala 2022, and four specific: Identify the subjective image that tourists build on the city of Machala with the presence of begging, Determine the effects of begging on the ornate of the city, Determine the effects of begging on tourism in the city and Identify the strategies proposed by the authorities for reducing the levels of begging With a functional structural sociological approach of Talcott Parsons and Robert Merton, they explain the social order formed by four functional imperatives and that allow the constitution of society, the social system and the diversity of status and roles of each. Individuals articulated in classes and play a role in society, that is why the role is a mechanism for interaction involving a certain type of organization or social system, that order is broken when the elements do not work in a balanced way and dysfunctional problems such as begging arise, a painful experience of extreme marginality, in a capitalist world that generates inequalities. The proposed research is basic, it seeks to understand the social phenomenon of begging based on various academic publications that account for it in its different aspects, which allows to collect information, it allows to know one of the existing social realities, the same allows to know one of the existing social realities such as the begging and the degree of affectation for the development of tourism and ornate of the city. The research being proposed has a correlational scope to the extent that, from the data obtained from the variables and indicators, the analysis will be carried out, establishing the correlation of them, to establish the incidence of begging in ornate and tourism in the city of Machala. The methodology applied has a quantitative approach given that quantitative data is collected, analyzed and linked in an investigative study that will respond to an approach. The proposed research is framed with the empirical-inductive approach to the collection of information and the analysis of the object of study, the basic assumption here is that the events of the world both material and human obey certain visible or measurable patterns whose regularity can be established by observing their repetitions empiricism this will generate probabilistic inferences about future behaviors. Therefore, the ornate if it has been affected by the beggars this being very evident in the parks, corners of the traffic lights, sidewalks, which are the places where there is greater presence of beggars. The impact that begging causes to tourism is high, creating a bad perception by tourists who visit the city, as a result, the affected areas are the hotels, gastronomy and commerce of the city.
