Abstract

A study was conducted on the perception of security in four parishes in the basin: El Batán, Nulti, Baños and Machángara with the purpose of having two rural parishes and two urban parishes with high and low crime incidence. A description of statistics by parish was made in order to have a preamble of information. We also applied the methodology of contingency analysis with double threshold and obtained as a result that the urban sector has a greater willingness to pay for the level of insecurity perceived by the inhabitants, and El Batán was the parish with the highest perception of insecurity and the highest willingness to pay on the other hand, a private and public project proposal is proposed for the implementation of increasing the level of security in the parish in question. In the case of the private project, a price of $40 should be proposed for the project to be viable with a positive NPV, IRR greater than the reference rate and benefit-cost greater than 1, and for the public project with a price of $12.08, favorable results were obtained
