Abstract

Insecurity as a structuring component of the territory has developed in Ecuador as deficient management since instruments of public policies and citizen control are not used. In the present research work, the situation of the City of Guayaquil case study is evaluated, and the level of insecurity in the polygon indicated between Av. De las Américas, Av. Kennedy, Av. Delta and Av. José Santiago Castillo. The study analyzed the possible causes of insecurity, among which is the lack of police units in the area. The methodology is oriented towards the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the problem using participant observation. In addition to a comparative study of the level of insecurity depending on the type of crime. Finally, the mapping of urban voids, police points, and public lighting that indicates the areas was developed using the ArcGIS software. It is concluded that insecurity is most frequently found at night, in areas with less presence of urban activity, for which strategies must be used to increase the level of security by and for users.

Derly Tamara Ramirez Aguilar, born in Piñas, Ecuador, student of architecture at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of Guayaquil, currently in her eighth semester. She has participated in events presented by the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of Guayaquil as the expofau, through the subject of projects, working in different fields of architecture and different types of projects of urban planning and design. His fields of interest and possible future lines of research consist of new forms of sustainable design, urban design and its relationship with people. As well as the implementation of environmental awareness criteria in future design projects.

Maytte Ivonne Revilla Espinoza, Consaporf S.A.

Maytte Ivonne Revilla Espinoza born in Quininde, Ecuador, student of the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of Guayaquil, currently in her eighth semester. She has participated in events of the ExpoFau Faculty, in presentations of projects carried out in class. Among the main research interests, my vision focuses on the analysis of urban architecture, and the importance of creating spaces that integrate with the city, and thus help the quality of life of the inhabitants.
