Estudio de factibilidad para la implementación de un terminal de transferencia interprovincial en el cantón Archidona provincia Napo

Abstract

The objective of this research work is to carry out a feasibility study for the implementation of an interprovincial transfer terminal in the Archidona canton of Napo province. Two dependent and independent variables were analyzed using the qualitative approach which helped to determine the current situation of interprovincial transportation, while the quantitative approach through data collection obtained the supply and demand, the level of research used was: descriptive, exploratory, the design according to the independent variable was non-experimental in view that the study variables were not manipulated, the types of research applied were field, bibliographic and cross-sectional, the deductive and synthetic methods, the techniques used were: surveys and observation in the instruments were applied questionnaires and counting card, Archidona has a projected population to the year 2022 of 34. Archidona has a projected population of 34,979 inhabitants as of 2022, of which a sample of 380 people was taken. 83% of the surveyed population agrees with the implementation of the transfer terminal because 69% use interprovincial transportation for their mobilization, the operator that has the highest number of frequencies is the Jumandy cooperative with 28 shifts, it was determined that the project is feasible with an Internal Rate of Return of 15% and a minimum rate of return of 10.54%, which means that it will yield 4.46%. In conclusion, a payback time of 5.23 years is estimated and finally a cost-benefit ratio of 1.22 dollars for each dollar invested in the project. It is recommended that this research be taken into consideration since all the expenses generated by maintenance and operation should be covered with the income generated by the operation of the project.
