Este estudio investiga la percepción de los habitantes de la vereda Pompeya en Villavicencio, Colombia, sobre la implementación de energía fotovoltaica en la operación de su planta de tratamiento de agua potable y cómo esta tecnología afecta su calidad de vida. Utilizando un enfoque mixto, la investigación combinó técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas para recoger datos. Se aplicaron encuestas estructuradas a una muestra estratificada de 161 habitantes, con conocimiento y experiencia en la vida cotidiana de la comunidad, que proporcionaron una perspectiva sobre los posibles impactos del proyecto. Los resultados cuantitativos se complementaron con entrevistas cualitativas que profundizaron en las percepciones y actitudes hacia la energía fotovoltaica y su calidad de vida. El estudio reveló un fuerte respaldo a la adopción de energía fotovoltaica, con más del 90% de los encuestados expresando apoyo a esta tecnología para mejorar la eficiencia y fiabilidad de la planta de tratamiento. La percepción de los beneficios incluyó la mejora en la continuidad del suministro de agua, reducción de cortes de energía y potencial generación de empleo local. Sin embargo, se identificaron preocupaciones sobre los costos iniciales y la falta de conocimiento adecuado sobre las tecnologías renovables. Este estudio contribuye al cuerpo de conocimiento de la innovación en proyectos, destacando cómo las comunidades rurales pueden percibir la adopción de tecnologías renovables para mejorar sus condiciones de vida y garantizar la sostenibilidad de servicios esenciales.
This study investigates the perception of the residents of the Pompeya village in Villavicencio, Colombia, regarding the implementation of photovoltaic energy in the operation of their drinking water treatment plant and how this technology affects their quality of life. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combined quantitative and qualitative techniques to collect data. Structured surveys were applied to a stratified sample of 161 residents, who have knowledge and experience in the daily life of the community, providing insights into the potential impacts of the project. The quantitative results were complemented by qualitative interviews that delved into perceptions and attitudes towards photovoltaic energy and its impact on quality of life. The study revealed strong support for the adoption of photovoltaic energy, with over 90% of respondents expressing support for this technology to improve the efficiency and reliability of the treatment plant. Perceived benefits included improved continuity of water supply, reduced power outages, and potential local job creation. However, concerns were identified regarding initial costs and the lack of adequate knowledge about renewable technologies. This study contributes to the body of knowledge on innovation in projects, highlighting how rural communities can perceive the adoption of renewable technologies to improve their living conditions and ensure the sustainability of essential services. Additionally, it reinforces the importance of integrating education and communication strategies in the implementation of renewable energy projects, ensuring that communities are informed and engaged.
