Abstract
Uno de los problemas principales que tienen las familias rurales de la Sierra de
Lima son sus bajos ingresos económicos los que no les permiten un adecuado
desarrollo social. Específicamente, los pobladores de la comunidad de Chillaco se
dedican principalmente a la agricultura; el contar con una sola actividad económica
por lo que no cuentan con capital para invertir y aumentar su producción. Esta
investigación plantea un sistema piloto doméstico y tecnificado para la crianza de
cuyes con el objetivo de activar y facilitar una actividad económica complementaria
para las familias rurales de este poblado. La propuesta implica un diseño de sistema
de crianza de cuyes ecosostenible que les permite aprovechar sus recursos. Se
aplicó el Design Thinking como proceso creativo para la solución del problema. Los
resultados demostraron que la propuesta facilita la actividad y posibilita una
adecuada crianza, alimentación, reproducción y limpieza; lo cual es beneficioso
tanto para los cuyes como para los criadores. Así mismo, se encontró que, debido
a su diseño apilable, se puede dedicar más espacio a esta actividad, por lo que la
implementación de Quwi a mayor escala aumentará su producción. En conclusión,
el piloto permitió comprobar que la propuesta de diseño es beneficiosa para la
comunidad tanto económica como socialmente. Esto debido a que el tener unas
jaulas verticales aumenta su capacidad productiva y, por ende, sus ingresos y,
también, le dio a la familia cierto “estatus” o posición comparada con sus vecinos
que realizan la misma actividad.
One of the main problems that rural families in the Sierra de Lima have is their low income, which does not allow them adequate social development. Specifically, the inhabitants of the Chillaco community are mainly engaged in agriculture; having only one economic activity doesn't allow them to invest and increase their production since they do not have the capital. This research proposes a domestic and technical pilot system for breeding guinea pigs with the objective of activating and facilitating complementary economic activity for the rural families of this town. The proposal implies an eco-sustainable guinea pig breeding system design that allows them to take advantage of their resources. Design Thinking was applied as a creative process to solve the problem. The results showed that the proposal facilitates the activity and enables adequate breeding, feeding, reproduction, and cleaning, which is beneficial for both guinea pigs and breeders. Likewise, it was found that, due to its stackable design, more space can be dedicated to this activity, so the implementation of Quwi on a larger scale will increase its production. In conclusion, the pilot allowed us to verify that the design proposal is beneficial for the community both economically and socially. This is because having vertical cages increases their productive capacity and, therefore, their income, and gives the family a certain "status" or position compared to their neighbors who carry out the same activity.
