Responsabilidad social universitaria de la UGC frente a la habitabilidad en calle del barrio La Candelaria - Bogotá

Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility is a concept that companies have assumed to contribute to and solve some social problems, and Universidad la Gran Colombia, although it is part of the Colombian educational system, works with business principles, Therefore, it is in the process of developing university social responsibility policies that will govern the university, for this, this research makes a review and exploration on the issues that the university can consider within the development of these guidelines. Therefore, the literature associated with university social responsibility was reviewed, as well as studies and research on social problems present in the city of Bogotá, especially in the area of La Candelaria. When analyzing information from the DANE and government entities, it is found that an important social problem in this area and that has also been present for decades, is the habitability on the street, which leads to the need for greater participation by both entities public as private. It is concluded that the policies of RSU can include days of health, food, rehabilitation programs, training, job fairs, volunteering, among others that can be supported from the programs or academic activities offered by the university to achieve the social inclusion of these people.
