Community Action Boards - Knowledge of their dignitaries regarding the scope of their actions.

Abstract

This research approaches the community action boards (JAC) of the locality of Suba (Bogota-Colombia) as subjects of study to determine the degree of knowledge that the dignitaries of these boards have regarding the scope that they hold given by Law 743 of 2002. The knowledge of the aforementioned
representatives is a variable that, although it does not ensure, is a determining factor for the development of a good management of the JAC, and, therefore, for the achievement of community development in their territories. These organizations become a platform for the micro level to contribute to the achievement of several sustainable development objectives, given their conditions of coverage and proximity to the communities. A quantitative research is developed, with an exploratory and descriptive, non-experimental and cross sectional scope. The primary data collection instrument is a survey, which is applied to a probabilistic sample. In order to reach the stated objective, an assessment scale was created to evaluate the knowledge of the population under study. The main result is that 71% of the population has a "high degree" of knowledge regarding the scope given by law to the community action boards
