Abstract

CONDITION FOR PUBLICATION OF PROJECT. The research project "Analysis of Citizen Perception of the Implementation of the Urban and Rural Safety and Social Cohesion Plan in the Canton of Cañar for the Period 2022-2024" addresses the security issues in Cañar, as evidenced by the increase in criminal incidents and a growing perception of insecurity among citizens. This study focuses on evaluating the results regarding residents' perceptions of safety following the implementation of local policies under the framework of the National Citizen Security and Peaceful Social Cohesion Plan 2019-2030. The research employs a non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive methodological design with triangulation to analyze variables such as police presence, the effectiveness of crime prevention programs, and perceptions of safety. Data is collected through structured surveys and crime incidence databases, followed by advanced statistical analysis. The study aims to provide empirical evidence to support the reformulation of security strategies, emphasizing the importance of integrating citizen perceptions into the evaluation and design of public security policies. This research significantly contributes to understanding the dynamics of security in Cañar, offering an evaluative model that could be adapted to other contexts facing similar security challenges in other cantons of Ecuador.
