Zusammenfassung:This study refines the evaluation of the perception of Fear of Crime (FoC) with its (in) tangible aspects using the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) methodology. For this, a microscale approach based on the discipline of Environmental Psychology was built and applied in a university case study in Quito, Ecuador. The methodology is quantitative, descriptive in scope and cross-sectional. The non-probabilistic sample of 320 university students used a mobile participatory method and a victimization questionnaire. From there, foundations are laid for the CPTED theoretical-practical development.
