Procesos de participación ciudadana como construcción de políticas públicas, desde abajo en el Municipio de Barbacoas, Nariño

Abstract

Spa: La participación ciudadana encarna en el ser, ciudadanos con derechos y deberes sociales, así como una serie de obligaciones sociales que implica participar en la selección de gobernantes e incidir en sus decisiones, Merino (2019). Los resultados evidencian que no hay adquisición de cultura democrática en el municipio de Barbacoas y que las instituciones formales no cuentan con políticas públicas claras para generar participación ciudadana en sus habitantes, lo que se asume como un desconocimiento de la política en el país. Sentido real y discurso formal, más allá del voto, además de la falta de conciencia política, a pesar de que en los diferentes planes de desarrollo la intención es promover la creación de políticas públicas orientadas a la participación ciudadana como resultado de una cultura democrática en sus habitantes.

eng: This research constituted an analysis of the tools that allow creating or strengthening public policies as a result of citizen participation, such as the acquisition of a democratic culture, conscious or unconscious, in the context of the municipality of Barbacoas in the department of Nariño in the south of Colombia when citizens decide to actively intervene in electoral processes. With a methodology with a qualitative approach, which implied the documentary review of the development plans of the municipality in the last two governments and the application of a semi-structured interview that inquired about the perception of the inhabitants about citizen participation, the method was chosen of hermeneutical research, which Gadamer (1994) defines as that space of interaction of intrahuman communication that seeks or reaches the understanding or understanding of something determined of which there is no full understanding, which for this case was citizen participation in policies public of the referred locality. Citizen participation embodies in being, citizens with social rights and duties, as well as a series of social obligations that implies participating in the selection of rulers and influencing their decisions, Merino (2019). The results allow us to see that there is no acquisition of democratic culture in the municipality of Barbacoas and that the formal institutions do not have clear public policies to generate citizen participation in its inhabitants, which is assumed as a lack of knowledge of politics in the real sense and formal speech, beyond voting, in addition to the lack of political awareness, despite the fact that in the different development plans the intention is to promote the creation of public policies aimed at citizen participation as a result of a culture democratic in its inhabitants.
