Abstract
El barrio de La Balanza a lo largo del tiempo ha experimentado cambios físicos;
así como, en la manera de vivir de sus habitantes. Ejemplo de ello, es el valor que
los pobladores le dan a los espacios públicos, y la manera como se relacionan
entre ellos y con su entorno. Desde hace 10 años, el proyecto Fitekantropus viene
trabajando en el barrio de La Balanza desde una visión urbano integral, que tiene
como objetivo lograr el desarrollo integral de todo el barrio de La Balanza en
Comas.
Esta investigación evidencia que mediante una intervención integral que toma en
cuenta la transformación de espacios físicos y los procesos sociales de la
comunidad, se genera una dinámica de vida en los vecinos de La Balanza y se
fomenta el desarrollo de otros aspectos valiosos. A través de testimonios de los
mismos vecinos, así como observaciones in situ, revisión de documentos, entre
otros; la investigación expone la transición y los cambios físicos e intangibles que
ha logrado el proyecto.
La tesis responde a la pregunta: ¿Cómo aporta el proyecto Fitekantropus a la
generación de capital social y desarrollo local en el barrio de La Balanza? El
objetivo general es analizar los aportes del proyecto en la generación de capital
social y desarrollo local en el barrio, con el fin de evidenciar buenas prácticas que
contribuyan a ejercer el derecho a la ciudad y la generación del desarrollo local.
A partir de la presente investigación se puede complementar la evidencia del
proyecto Fitekantropus como caso de éxito, no solo como recuperación del
espacio público en beneficio de determinada población, sino también como una
experiencia exitosa de fortalecimiento de capital social y generación de desarrollo
local. Además, esta investigación pretende servir como base para el fomento del
desarrollo local que permita mejorar la calidad de vida de las comunidades.
The popular district of La Balanza has experienced physical changes throughout the years, as well as changes in the way of living of its inhabitants. An example of this is the value citizens give to public spaces, and the way they relate with each other and with their environment. The Fitekantropus Project has been working in this popular district for ten years, with an all-inclusive urban vision that aims to achieve the integral development of the whole popular district of La Balanza in Comas. This investigation demonstrates that, by means of an integral intervention which includes the transformation of physical spaces and social processes of the community, a dynamic of life within the neighbours of La Balanza is generated and the development of other valuable aspects is promoted. The thesis answers the question: How does the Fitekantropus Project contribute to the generation of social capital and local development in the popular district of La Balanza? The general objective is to analyze the project’s contribution to generate social capital and local development in the popular district in order to show good practices that will contribute to exert the right to the city and generate local development. From this research, the evidence of the Fitekantropus Project can be considered an example of success, not only because of the recuperation of public space for the benefit of a given population, but also because of the successful experience of strengthening social capital and generating local development. Moreover, this research intends to serve as a basis for the promotion of territorial development that will allow improve the quality of life of the communities.
