Lógicas de organización y participación comunitaria en adultos mayores en una parroquia urbana de la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

This research project focuses on the development of community organization and participation logics among elderly adults in an urban parish in the city of Quito in 2024. Through interviews conducted with three women and one man, the community processes of the group are revealed. The present research has a qualitative approach, which has allowed the collection of narratives through interviews to gain a comprehensive understanding of the organizational processes experienced by the grandparents of that generation during the transformation of their place of origin up to the present. The interviews are focused and categorized into three broad categories: organization and participation, sense of community, and collective memory. Based on these statements, the information was analyzed, and an interrelation of contexts and history was conducted to reach possible conclusions that meet the stated objective.
