Abstract

This research analyzes the challenges in road development and their consequences for the residents of El Chaupi Parish, Pichincha Province. A mixed-methods approach was applied, combining interviews to gather data on the difficulties hindering road development and surveys to collect information on the consequences experienced by residents due to the lack of paved roads. The findings highlight that the main obstacles to road development are insufficient funding and poor administrative management, which negatively impact the area's inhabitants, affecting mobility, community development, and other aspects. Based on these results, strategies have been identified to mitigate this problem, such as strengthening intergovernmental cooperation and fostering local participation. This research lays the groundwork for developing such mitigation strategies by understanding the underlying causes of road infrastructure issues in rural contexts.
