Organización comunitaria y la seguridad ciudadana

Abstract

The present research is conceived and directed towards the inhabitants of Cruzpamba neighborhood, Santiago de Píllaro Canton, who face the harsh reality of insecurity on a daily basis, leading to social impact and a decline in the quality of life for its residents. Therefore, it is crucial to highlight the roles and functions that social workers play in the social sphere, providing timely attention to social issues that pose a threat to the public safety of the population. The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of Community Organization on Public Safety in Cruzpamba neighborhood, Santiago de Píllaro Canton. This work is framed within the quantitative approach, implying a scientific focus on the collection and analysis of numerical and statistical data with the aim of understanding and explaining phenomena. By opting for a quantitative approach, the goal is to obtain precise and measurable information about the variables under investigation. In this process, standardized methods for data collection are employed, such as a survey, which revealed that Cruzpamba neighborhood exhibits a significant degree of community organization through neighborhood committees, although the lack of participation and active collaboration of residents hinders addressing security issues and other community aspects. The absence of effective communication strategies between the community and the police, as well as the lack of specific security programs, contribute to the overall perception of insecurity. The lack of coordination and active participation within the community directly contributes to a general sense of insecurity. Infrastructure and lighting play a crucial role in conveying security to residents
