La seguridad ciudadana en la parroquia Tababela. Diagnóstico a partir de la operación del nuevo aeropuerto de Quito en el año 2013

Abstract

This research represents a diagnosis of citizen security in the rural parish of Tababela, located in Canton Quito, Pichincha province, following the operation of the new International Airport situated in the area. The diagnosis is supported by theoretical foundation concepts of the United Nations on human security and citizen security and its relationship to human development, where citizen security is understood as "the protection of certain options or opportunities for everyone: his life, his integrity and his heritage; against a specific type of hazard –crime and violence- that affects suddenly and painfully the life of the victims.” The research starts with a general framework of the parish and its citizen security situation before the operation of the new Quito international airport and reflects the new scenario, including official crime data and key information obtained through the application of a victimization survey, which evidence the changes brought about in terms of citizen security from the operation of the new airport.
