Aplicación de los sistemas de información geográfica en el análisis territorial de la violencia contra las mujeres en Bogotá D.C., 2025

Abstract

This monograph analyzes the territorial distribution of violence against women in Bogotá D.C. during 2025 through the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and statistical indicators. The study followed a quantitative, descriptive-analytical approach with a non-experimental design, using secondary information obtained from the Statistical, Criminal, Contraventional and Operational Information System (SIEDCO). The data were organized and processed using Microsoft Excel, classified according to locality and type of violence, and percentage participation and incidence rates per 100,000 women were calculated. Subsequently, thematic choropleth maps were developed using ArcGIS Pro to represent and interpret the spatial distribution of the phenomenon. The results identified 30,293 cases, with domestic violence being the predominant type, accounting for 20,939 cases (69.12%), followed by personal injuries with 5,294 cases (17.48%), sexual offenses with 3,944 cases (13.02%), and murders with 116 cases (0.38%). In absolute terms, Ciudad Bolívar, Kennedy, Suba, and Engativá concentrated the highest number of cases, while the highest incidence rates were recorded in La Candelaria, Santa Fe, and Los Mártires. The results reveal territorial differences between the concentration of cases and relative risk levels, highlighting the usefulness of GIS for identifying spatial patterns and critical areas of violence against women in Bogotá D.C.
