Abstract

The National Institute of Popular and Solidarity Economy, in the year 2013, executed an agrotourism project for the Association of Residents of Murialdo, with the aim of promoting and invigorating the popular and solidary economy and improving the living conditions among the members of this association. The purpose of this research was to evaluate this agrotourism project based on the capitals that influence sustainable human development; same that was carried out in the Fatima parish, Canton, and province of Pastaza. The methodology allowed to start from the theoretical definition to the contextualization of the capitals that influence sustainable human development, formulating 18 variables and 76 indicators whose valuation generated an index for each capital, a comparative analysis with and without a project was carried out through the statistical test T -student paired, resulting in insignificant differences between the two situations: average HDI without and with project of 0.46 and 0.54 respectively. This first action demonstrates a low growth of IDH present in the Association in 3 years. Therefore it is necessary to operationalize the tourism activity through articulations with the different levels of public, private and educational support, having as main objective to improve the index of the welfare of the families of the Association.
