Análisis de las barreras y potencialidades territoriales de la parroquia Octavio Cordero Palacios, para implementar procesos de desarrollo local

Abstract

Local Development implies joint work at the local level in order to consolidate a common project that involves the population. In this sense, the analysis of the territorial barriers and potentialities of the Octavio Cordero Palacios place has been proposed to implement Local Development processes. For this, a mixed research approach has been determined: on the one hand, the application of semi-structured interviews to leaders and authorities was established and, on the other hand, the application of surveys to inhabitants of the place to know their perception about the barriers and territorial potentialities. In this framework, it was possible to recognize the barriers in the place that range from the disconnection between the GAD administration and habitants, lack of financing for the agricultural sector, lack of territorial planning and basic services, among others. However, it was possible to recognize the potential in terms of tourism that the place has to generate Local Development.
