Abstract

 This study examines the use of crowdsourcing as a tool 
to mitigate insecurity in the city of Montería. The research 
combined quantitative and qualitative methods, using a 
mobile application and website to collect and analyze data 
on security incidents reported by citizens. The results show 
that the most common types of incidents include shoplif
ting and street fights. Geolocation made it possible to map 
areas of greatest risk, facilitating the identification of crimi
nal patterns and decision-making by authorities. Despite 
challenges related to data privacy and regulation, the study 
demonstrates that crowdsourcing can be an effective stra
tegy to improve urban safety. The findings suggest that citi
zen participation, supported by technology, can significantly 
contribute to the formulation of policies and strategies to 
address insecurity in Montería and other cities with similar 
problems.
 After a theoretical, conceptual and legislative review 
around the Comprehensive Disaster Risk Management poli
cies - with the aim of analyzing their scope on the geogra
phical, social and economic context of the municipalities with 
jurisdiction over the Tota Lake basin - it is concluded that it 
is necessary to articulate the EOT of the three municipalities 
to achieve true effects of conservation and safeguarding of 
the ecosystem of the Lago de Tota Basin. Due to the above, 
it is proposed that the eco-agritourism program function as 
the articulating axis of the economic activities of the munici
palities, and in turn identify the environmental and anthropic 
risks, putting strategies to reduce their effects
