Abstract

The present research focuses on analyzing the incidence of psychosocial factors in decision making within rural participatory budgets. This process was carried out in the parish of San Bartolomé, belonging to the Sig Sig canton. The methodology was characterized as being of a qualitative, exploratory - transversal nature. According to the objectives pursued in this research the methodological approach will be cut, ethnographic, we worked with 2 groups of studies, one with the technical team of Parish GAD of San Bartolomé, and leaders and community leaders, for the collection Two techniques were applied to the data, semi-structured interviews and focus groups, and the analysis of the data was done by organizing units and categories of analysis to obtain the conclusions. It was determined that participatory budgets do not focus on needs but on the satisfaction of those needs in the words of Max-Neff (1998). They are the way in which a need expresses ways of being, having, doing and being that contribute to the realization of needs. One of the psychosocial factors that affect decision-making is communication as a satisfactory of understanding, this being a neuralgic point between the GAD and the community since the use of communication channels are not adequate to maintain a direct line with people, but also in this process there is a leadership factor, and especially in the styles of leadership from the GAD, to each of the communities being this a factor that motivates participation and calls people to take decisions.
