The residents' sense of security and real insecurity can be solved through public measures to create an area of common use and attractive for the creation of small shops and local services. After all, the presence of citizens in public places ensures safety on the spot. In addition, lighting in the streets and avenues is also essential for local security. Of course, the participation of each citizen is fundamental to give movement and life to the streets and public areas. But it is important to leave the space ready to receive these people. Public policies should ensure the maintenance of public areas and their conservation. Another important factor to generate presence in the streets and public areas, and thus, guarantee the safety of the residents, is the holding of public events. These events are capable of creating in citizens a sense of belonging and appropriation of the public space, making this space always active.
