Territorialización de la política pública en seguridad ciudadana. Análisis del sistema de gobernanza en el cantón Cuenca

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the territorialization of public policy on citizen security in the canton of Cuenca during the period 2019 2023. The study conducted is descriptive, utilizing a mixed approach that combines qualitative and quantitative research components. Interviews were carried out with officials of the Community Guard and Citizen Security Council of the canton. Surveys were conducted with a sample of 272 male and female inhabitants aged between 15 and 64 years old. The results indicate and confirm an increase in crime in Cuenca. While the implemented public policies are appropriately designed based on territorial articulation logic, citizens perceive the need for a more efficient system of security policies. This system should be developed through participatory means, considering a territorialized vision.
