Abstract

The study analyzes the possibilities of creation or reactivation of Popular and Solidarity economy enterprises in the rural parishes of the Santo Domingo canton, for the execution of Development Plans and Territorial Planning (PDyOT). Most of these ventures have not been promoted directly by the PDyOT, contrary to a territorial planning that must prioritize the constitutional principle of reducing, among other things, economic inequality in order to advance towards true local development. Field research focused on the tourism sector of the rural highlands of San Gabriel del Baba and Julio Moreno Espinosa, and sought to analyze the behavior of the entrepreneurial sector and local demand, after public investment in road reconstruction called "via adventure" by the provincial government. The capacity of the intervened sector to respond to entrepreneurial opportunities has been slow.
