“…La percepción de inseguridad El miedo al crimen engloba diferentes juicios y emociones, los cuales podrían variar de acuerdo con el nivel educativo, nivel de ingresos, grupo étnico, edad, sentido de pertenencia a un barrio, genero, entre otros (Gray, Jackson, & Farrall, 2011). Esta sensación podría ser definida como "un sentimiento de 'miedo' e 'inseguridad' derivado de una persona que siente que su seguridad personal está bajo riesgo" (Tandogan & Ilhan, 2016, p. 2011. En este sentido Tandogan e Ilhan (2016) también señalan que el miedo al crimen es un problema independiente al crimen en sí mismo, de modo que una reducción en las tasas de victimización no necesariamente implica una reducción en la percepción de inseguridad.…”

“…En la mayoría de los casos se relataron situaciones de acoso o ataques sexuales hacia las mujeres en el espacio público. En ese sentido, la literatura relaciona el miedo al crimen en las mujeres especialmente vinculado al temor de ser víctima de un delito sexual (Pain, 1991;Ferrato, 1996;Tandogan & Ilhan, 2016). A raíz de las profundas consecuencias que estos delitos producen en muchas mujeres, estas sienten más temor a todos los distintos tipos de crímenes que los hombres (Sacco, 1990;Falú, 2009).…”

con comunidades cerradas: entre el miedo y la segregación. Caso de la GAM-Costa Rica. | REVISTARQUIS | VOL 8, Num. 2, (Julio-Diciembre 2019) | ISSN 2215-275X | San José, Costa Rica | pp. 66-76 ResumenEl miedo al crimen parece ser una preocupación constante en Costa Rica y América Latina. Este temor podría estar cambiando los patrones de urbanización, dando paso a comunidades cerradas. Paradójicamente, esos desarrollos podrían estar alimentando algunos sentimientos de exclusión y ansiedad en sus periferias más que ser una solución al crimen. Entre algunas razones se podría citar la fragmentación que producen en la ciudad y la falta de provisión de espacios públicos. Este artículo brinda algunas reflexiones sobre la propagación de comunidades cerradas y su situación dentro del Gran Área Metropolitana (GAM), ya que busca explorar algunos efectos de esos desarrollos residenciales en los vecindarios adyacentes. Este trabajo es parte una investigación en curso, pues estas apreciaciones se basan en una primera etapa de trabajo de campo realizado en Costa Rica de junio a diciembre de 2018. El enfoque metodológico es a través de ocho casos de estudio, que representan vecindarios con diversos tipos de necesidades básicas insatisfechas (NBI) dentro de la GAM. Los casos se seleccionaron utilizando datos del censo con ayuda de sistemas de información geográfica (SIG). Estos barrios se encuentran junto a comunidades cerradas. En cada vecindario se realizó una caminataentrevista con un grupo de personas de la comunidad, las cuales fueron rastreadas con GPS junto con la grabación del audio. Adicionalmente, se llevó a cabo grupos focales, reuniones, observaciones y entrevistas. Finalmente, se comparten resultados preliminares que reflejan sentimientos de exclusión y segregación residencial, así como ansiedades particulares en mujeres y adolescentes. Palabras clave: barrios; comunidades cerradas; miedo al crimen; planificación; segregación residencial.Neighborhoods "cohabiting" with gated communities: between fear and segregation. GMA-Costa Rica's case Abstract Fear of crime seems to be a constant concern in Costa Rica as well as in Latin America. This anxiety might be changing the urbanization patterns, leading the way to gated communities. Paradoxically, those developments could be feeding some feelings of exclusion and anxiety in their peripheries instead of being a solution to crime among other reasons due to the fragmentation of the city and the lack of provision of public spaces. This article presents some thoughts based on conceptual approaches regarding the spread of gated communities as well as the situation within the Greater Metropolitan Area (GAM). It seeks to explore some effects of those residential developments in the adjacent neighborhoods. This work is part of an ongoing research. These initial assessments are based on a fieldwork carried out in Costa Rica from June to December in 2018 as a first stage of research. The methodology approach is through eight study cases, which represent neighborhoods with diverse ty...

“…As one of the basic needs, safety needs come right after psychological ones are relatively satisfied (Maslow, 1970). If safety needs are not met properly, then fear comes to the forefront (Tandogan and Ilhan, 2016). Tulu et al (2013) argued that in developing countries, pedestrian safety is affected by existing conditions such as lack of crossings, the lack of separation between pedestrians and vehicles in busy roads, the presence of roadside vendors, and the combination of poor street lighting and high proportions of pedestrians walking at night.…”

Backgrounds According to the elders' health as the main priority of Ageing in place, recent research focuses on better understanding of the elders' needs of perceived safety especially the elder women as the vulnerable group in urban open environments. The aim of this study is to explore the perception of elder women about safety and its related features in outdoor spaces according to promoting active ageing. Methodology We carried out a mixed-method study in which the data collection was conducted through content analysis. Semi-structured interviews were held with 54 older women (mean age 78.40 years). The participants were recruited in open spaces of Tehran applying the purposeful sampling and continued saturation during summer and fall of 2018. All interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The qualitative content analysis was used to extract sub-themes and main themes. In order to prioritize the extracted concepts, analytic hierarchy process was applied in quantitative analysis (AHP) in quantitative phase. Findings According to findings, the perception of safety in female elders can be described in three main themes consisting of psychological, functional and environmental safety, in that order of priority. Psychological safety includes fears of falling, getting lost, social limitation, anxiety, and social support or capital while functional safety consists of fears of public transportation, walkability, and physical activity. Finally, environmental safety comprises of fear of road traffic accidence, criminals, upkeep, incivility, and nuisance. Conclusion Our findings provide both personal and environmental features that can be targeted and requires implementation from policymakers and urban developers to meet the needs of growing older vulnerable population to achieve global active ageing goals.
