Abstract

This study seeks to know how citizen insecurity affects the socioeconomic development of the urban parish of Loma de Franco in the Pasaje canton. In its context, there are high rates of crime, and it has also been determined that there is a disarticulation of the social fabric to manage the attention of the territory, especially in terms of citizen security, as well as the presence of a very limited participation of the corresponding agencies. For this reason, the general research objective is focused on determining the incidence of citizen insecurity in the development of the parish, knowing its effects, causes, type of criminal acts with greater frequency and identifying alternatives for the reduction of the problem. The research has a non-experimental methodological design, as well as an empirical-inductive epistemological approach since the knowledge is based on the experiences of the inhabitants, and a mixed methodological approach to analyze the causal factors and critical issues in the problem of citizen insecurity, applying surveys to 198 inhabitants and interviews with managers, officials of the GADM and the National Police in order to show the reality of the environment. The surveys conducted with the inhabitants determined that there is no active community participation or organization in the sector to address the latent insecurity problem in the community; however, in negative terms, there is a high level of insecurity perceived by the population.
