Family and community daily life in human development among families in La Panela neighborhood in the municipality of Corozal, Sucre

This article examines family and community daily life and its relationship to human development, having as a reference the following dimensions: family composition, educational, economic and housing conditions, habitat, family communication, relations with neighbors, conflict resolution and community shared activities. Priority is given to an integrating rather than individualized perspectivo of family and community everyday life, conceiving these two areas as energizing lines and catalysts of human development in terms of social spaces, protection, fondness, care and welfare. However, the results show that adult members have low academic preparation, focusing on the type of economic activity and/or work performed, in family income and therefore how they meet their needs for food, clothing, housing, health and recreation. In this regard, the study provides information and suggests courses of action for private and public institutions, the academy and professionals for the development of comprehensive programs and strategies aimed to early intervention and prevention of risk factors that may affect family members’ biopsychosocial welfare. The design used in this research was not experimental, the type of observational study, the descriptive and interpretative level and mixed method, comprising quantitative and qualitative data, according to Shoveller (2006).
