Ocupaciones colectivas y transformación social en la comunidad.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to establish the level of participation of Collective Occupations in the Social Transformation of the community of progress, a neighborhood in the municipality of Pamplona-Norte de Santander/Colombia. For this purpose, a sample of 40 subjects was taken, including men and women belonging to this community, who agreed to participate in the study voluntarily. Initially, field work was carried out to characterize the population. Subsequently, the Occupational Questionnaire (OQ) and the Assessment of Communication and Interaction Skills (ACIS) were applied to determine the relationship between the variables under study. The results show that there is no structuring of collective occupations at the community level, which generates social dysfunctions in a community, which in turn has repercussions on the occupational and social well-being of the subjects. On the other hand, it was found that communication and social interaction skills such as "Relates", "Asks", among others, are ineffective, which influences the course of social action, causing social discomfort that limits the community participation of the subjects. This leads us to conclude that few collective occupations are found at the community level, due to the marginalization and social vulnerability that is evident in the inhabitants of the El progreso neighborhood, which interferes in the process of social transformation.
