Abstract

The Ecuador Constitution recognizes mediation as an alternative method of conflict resolution, which allows that, within the collective development of Ecuadorian society, it is applied a culture of peace, through mediation in the different conflicts that arise in the country. Community mediation is directly related to neighborhood conflicts that occur in the parishes of Ambato, which currently, reflects a number of problems between neighbors, generating a social and community welfare imbalance, therefore, knowing the variety of conflicts that are generated in these areas, it is vital to ask for a community mediation as a preventive action that emphasizes a culture of peace. For this reason, the objective of this research is to determine the benefits that constitute the application of community mediation in the canton of Ambato, giving a positive response to the mechanisms of conflict resolution as a preventive solution against the problems that are generated in the parishes of Pinllo and Picaihua, avoiding that people go to ordinary justice and that they are considered an expense in resources and time of the Ecuadorian State. The methodological approach applied consists of a descriptive and explanatory study, which is immersed in the research line of exclusion and social integration; allowing to obtain a positive result and to know those benefits generated by the application of a community mediation as a preventive solution for conflicts.
