Procedure for community participation in the "Rocío del Sol" Local Tourist Center project

Abstract

The result presented here responds to the policy of implementing a government management based on science and innovation, through the Municipal Development Strategies. The same was conceived fundamentally, from the participation that, in the legislative, is established in the new law governing the organs of the Popular Power in particular, the 132/2019, and more recently, the agreement 518 of the Council of State of the Republic of Cuba of 2023. The objective of this research was to design a procedure for community participation in the "Rocío del Sol" Local Tourist Center project in the Guane municipality of Pinar del Río province. The empirical methods were based on the collection and analysis of documents, the semi-structured interview and the use of brainstorming. As a result, the phases of the procedure structured in four stages were elaborated: Phase I Preparatory, Phase II Diagnosis, Phase III Planning and Execution and Phase IV Monitoring and Evaluation. This procedure demonstrated the value of community participation as one of the inputs to be used by the Municipal Government for an efficient management of local development, specifically in projects related to Local Sustainable Tourism.
