Estudio de factibilidad para la implementación de un sistema de videovigilancia en zonas urbanas de alta incidencia delictiva del cantón Riobamba, 2024

Abstract

Abstract: Citizen security represents one of the main challenges for local public management in urban contexts, especially in intermediate cities where population growth and commercial dynamics increase exposure to criminal risks. In the city of Riobamba, this issue is reflected in a growing perception of insecurity, derived from criminal acts that affect social coexistence in different areas. This research aims to determine the feasibility of implementing a video surveillance system in urban zones with high incidence of violence and crime, through a comprehensive approach that considers social, technical, operational, and economic-financial aspects. Empirical data were collected through surveys applied to residents in these areas, and the results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings show high levels of perceived insecurity and a strong acceptance of video surveillance systems as a support tool for public security. However, concerns related to privacy and personal data management were also identified. It is concluded that the implementation of the system is feasible, provided that institutional coordination is ensured and data protection is guaranteed, thus contributing to improving citizen security.
