organización comunitaria en la gestión de servicios básicos en la parroquia bellamaría del cantón santa rosa, año 2023

Abstract

The present work, entitled "Community Organization in the Management of Basic Services in the Bellamaría Parish of Santa Rosa Canton, year 2023," addresses a topic of significant importance as it examines how community organization influences the management of basic services for residents. The research focuses on how the deficiencies in these organizations can lead to problems with basic services. The poor quality of basic services is an issue that affects the inhabitants' quality of life. It was observed in the parish, indicating that local authorities have not worked towards improving the sector without implementing effective procedures to address the fundamental needs of the inhabitants, which will negatively impact the lives of the residents. The primary objective of this research is "To determine the impact of community organization on the management of basic services in Bellamaría Parish," considering the deficiencies in basic services that the community faces and internal problems such as lack of social cohesion, community leadership, and local disinterest, among others, which can guide the development of the research. The work is based on the Sociological Functional-Structuralist theory, which attempts to explain how community organization affects the management of the parish's basic services, particularly noting the absence of quality electricity, potable water, garbage collection, sewage, and sanitation, which has caused general annoyance among the population, delaying social development and preventing a good quality of life. The methodology used in the research is mixed, with the following approaches: empirical-inductive, rational-deductive, and hypothetical-deductive; this allowed for the collection of reliable information through statistical data, considering the verification of the hypotheses proposed to determine their accuracy and explain the reality of the anomalies studied. Regarding the results obtained from the research instruments, it can be determined that the depressing management of basic services affects not only the quality of life but also the health of the inhabitants, causing irreparable damage. The leadership of the competent board and various neighborhood leaders are not optimal when exercising their functions, adding to this a deficient community organization. The lack of interest from the GADM of Santa Rosa is another negative element, affecting the development of the sector without disregarding the problems that afflict the residents of the community. Based on the above, a proposal for an intervention has been designed, titled: "Design of a management plan for the execution of strategies that allow the improvement of the quality of basic services in Bellamaría Parish," which will provide direct management by municipal and parish authorities to meet the primary needs, ensuring an improvement in the quality of basic services for the residents.
