Identificación de las condiciones socio económicas de la vereda Pomarroso – fase 1: articulación de acciones USTA – HIC – comunidad

Abstract

In 2020, the International Hospital of Colombia – HIC and the Universidad Santo Tomás Seccional Bucaramanga, signed a framework cooperation agreement for the articulation of actions for the benefit of teaching, research and social projection processes aimed at regional development. Thus, the University, in the exercise of its function of social projection, and for its part, the HIC, in the exercise of its social responsibility, have prioritized the population of the Pomarroso village of the municipality of Piedecuesta, for the implementation of a participatory construction exercise with the purpose of strengthening the social fabric and improving the quality of life. In this sense, a concerted exercise was carried out with the community through which it was defined as a first phase to characterize the population with the purpose of consolidating a baseline that facilitates decision-making and formulating and implementing a work route. This document, structured in three chapters, shows in detail the results obtained from the collection and analysis of primary information. Thus, in the first chapter, socio-economic conditions are identified. In the second chapter, housing conditions and access to public services are addressed, and finally, in the third chapter, associativity alternatives are planned and some of the needs are prioritized and possible lines of intervention are generated based on findings identified in the first chapter.
