Valenzuela Aguilera, Alfonso The differential capacity of neighborhoods and settlements to promote shared values among residents and exercise social control is a key factor that determines crime rates within communities. In this way, the strengthening of social fabric and organizational capacities may reduce delinquency. This paper shows the results of the first Encuesta de Seguridad Ciudadana Cuernavaca 2010. With a population of about 750,000 inhabitants, 520 surveys were conducted with a 2,8% error rate, a response distribution of 50% and a confidence level of 95%. This paper demonstrates the relationship between the sense of insecurity and the informal social control among residents. Five rates were created as part of this methodology: social control of space, vulnerability, collective efficacy, legality and sense of insecurity. These rates are geographically identified, thus allowing the relationship among sense of fear, social control and collective efficacy with the urban territory. La capacidad diferencial de los vecindarios y colonias para impulsar valores compartidos entre los habitantes, así como para mantener controles sociales efectivos es un factor crucial en la variación de los niveles delictivos en las comunidades, lo cual sugiere que el fortalecimiento del tejido social así como de las capacidades comunitarias de organización resultarán en una reducción significativa de los índices delictivos actuales. En el presente trabajo se presentan los resultados de la primera Encuesta de Seguridad Ciudadana para la ciudad de Cuernavaca 2010. Con una población cercana a los tres cuartos de millón de habitantes para la zona metropolitana, se aplicaron 520 encuestas para el municipio con un margen de error de 2,8%, una distribución de respuesta del 50,0% y un nivel de confianza del 95,0%. El trabajo intenta demostrar la relación existente entre la percepción de inseguridad y el control social informal entre los residentes. Como parte de la metodología se construyeron cinco índices: control social del espacio, vulnerabilidad, eficacia colectiva, legalidad y sentimiento de inseguridad. Los índices están referenciados geográficamente lo que nos permite relacionar la percepción del miedo, el control social y la eficacia colectiva con el territorio urbano.
