    The present research work aims to analyze the impact of power on decision-making related to justice in the commune. This research is part of a research project approved by CONIN: UTA-CONIN-2023-0234-R. The main objective of the research is to determine how power influences justice decisionmaking in the Huapante Grande Commune, addressing concepts such as the distribution and types of power present in the community context, as well as the predominant type of justice in conflict resolution. To achieve these objectives, a mixed methodological approach was adopted, which combined quantitative and qualitative techniques. In the quantitative field, a structured 22-item questionnaire was applied to the inhabitants of the commune, evaluating dimensions such as power and justice using a Likert scale. In the qualitative field, in-depth interviews were conducted with community leaders. These tools made it possible to collect information on the inhabitants' perception regarding community participation, transparency and equity in conflict resolution. Among the main results, it was identified that power in the Huapante Grande Commune is concentrated in certain key actors, including community leaders and influential families. Likewise, it was observed that, although the community values community justice mechanisms, perceptions of inequality and lack of transparency in some processes persist. The research also revealed a significant influence of cultural and social factors in the administration of justice. The conclusions highlight the need to promote more inclusive and participatory practices to guarantee an equitable justice system that reflects the needs and values of the community. In addition, the importance of strengthening the capacities of community leaders to administer justice in a transparent and effective manner is underlined. This study represents a significant contribution to the understanding of the interactions between power and justice in community contexts, offering guidelines to improve local justice systems and foster social cohesion.
