Abstract
In an increasingly globalized and borderless world, fast access to reliable information about cities has become almost a necessity. From tourism to business trips and emigration, one should have a good knowledge about the destination to avoid problems and to ensure a good adaptation to the local region. As such, by exploring complex networks concepts and open data initiatives, this study focuses on the city of Bogotá as a model for security analysis, defined by official crime records and social strata percentages. In addition, a comparison of the previous data can be made with the location of police stations, as well as a urban traffic analysis. Finally, it’s possible to do a regional quality classification and a quicker and safer route recommendation, in function of the reliable data extracted from databases, obtained from specialized institutions, with national accreditation for this work.
