Abstract

The present research work has the intention of knowing and understanding the perspective of the use of technology in the community process of Salinas in the Province of Bolivar, and its importance for the development of the cheese factory "El Salinerito". For this the concepts that are deepened are technique, technology, community development, and popular and solidary economy, since they are the fundamental base to understand the history of progress of the Salinas Group. The scope of the research is non-experimental descriptive, for which a quantitative analysis was made using various tools such as interview, direct observation and documentary research. The data from this research was obtained based on direct interaction with the staff of the cheese factory and its suppliers. The results obtained show the contribution that the different mechanical, physical and knowledge technologies have offered so that the "El Salinerito" cheese factory has gone from a merely artisan community productive activity to being nowadays a reference of cheese production in our country, without leaving aside the benefit for its community.
