CARDENAS O’BYRNE, Sabina. Measure the Use of Safe Urban Public Space. Soc. Econ. [online]. 2017, n.33, pp.34-54. ISSN 1657-6357.  https://doi.org/10.25100/sye.v0i33.5620.

The article addresses the measurement of the use of public space as a strategy to improve the attitude towards security, in such a way that such security does not constitute a barrier to the revaluation of neighborhoods. For this, a bibliographic review was carried out in four aspects: the notion of neighborhood and fear as a security operator, the safety as a decision agent for the use of space, the mechanisms to measure safe space, and the daily spatial practices. This bibliographical review dialogues with a research called Ciudad Vital (Cárdenas, 2016), carried out in the Colombian cities of Palmira (2014) and Cali (2016). It is about generating alternatives to join the concerns of the consulted authors regarding the measurement of safe public space and to explore a tool for urban design in terms of use.

Palavras-chave : measurement; urban design; observation; crime prevention; change of attitude.
