Item type:Ítem, Participación comunitaria y sentido de pertenencia en los adultos mayores(Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Trabajo Social, 2026-01-15) ;Morales Turushina, Zoila LeonelaNaranjo Ruiz, Viviana FidenciaThe research examines the link between community participation and sense of belonging in older adults residing in the parish of Huambaló, Pelileo canton, Tungurahua province, given the context of rapid population aging. Consequently, community participation becomes a key element in promoting active aging, strengthening support networks, and reducing social isolation. This study adopts a purely quantitative approach and, to this end, we used the Community Social Support Questiomnaire (CAS-C), which has been specifically validated for older adults. The sample consisted of 92 older adults and was extracted through stratified proportional sampling from six communities in the parish. This tool studied integration, community participation, and the perception of community support. The information obtained in this study indicates that participants are beginning to identify that community members treat them kindly, have modified their policies on accessibility to community spaces, and have received comments highlighting the positivity of their participation. However, elements such as information, activities to offer, or infrastructure to complement transportation elements and sufficient willingness to collaborate are lacking. These factors are what shape the motivation and sustainability of participation. This demonstrates that there is a direct relationship between community participation and a sense of belonging, as older adults who participate more actively develop greater self-esteem, social integration, and a greater purpose in life. In addition, community participation improves emotional health, reduces loneliness, and generates more meaningful relationships. Intervention strategies were organized by results with the aim of enhancing the social inclusion of older adults. The research concludes that promoting the participatory role of older adults is of great importance and improves quality of life and overall well-being, as well as helping to develop inclusive and integrated communities.Item type:Ítem, Intergeneracionalidad en el Desarrollo Comunitario(Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Trabajo Social, 2025-02-24) ;Pazmiño Jerez, Juan SebastianNaranjo Ruiz, Viviana FidenciaThe present research addresses the intergenerational interaction in the community of Quisapincha and its impact on community development, highlighting how relationships between generations strengthen social and cultural fabric. Grounded in theories from authors such as Freire, Bourdieu, and Coleman, the study examines key concepts like the transmission of knowledge, community participation, and social cohesion, which are essential to understanding the dynamics of rural communities. Through a qualitative approach, data were collected using life histories and semi-structured interviews conducted with elderly members of the San Antonio de Quisapincha Association, allowing the identification of intergenerational experiences that contribute to local development. The results reveal that older adults serve as custodians of fundamental traditional knowledge, while younger generations introduce technological innovations, creating a valuable exchange for community sustainability. However, challenges such as youth migration and differing generational priorities present barriers that limit social cohesion. In this context, activities like mingas emerge as spaces for mutual learning and cultural preservation. The study concludes that intergenerationality not only preserves cultural values and reinforces the sense of belonging but also fosters resilience and sustainable community development, emphasizing the need to implement programs that integrate digital technologies and cultural activities to strengthen bonds between generations.
