Violence has worsened in Mexico in the last decade, and it is currently pervasive in most urban areas. More than 30% of Mexicans say that they have refrained from walking outside or taking a taxi. We tried to understand how households that are living with this security crisis altered their quotidian travel behaviour. We thus analysed some official statistics, and carried out a survey in non-central parts of Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, where crime indicators were particularly dire. Logistic regressions were applied to know if households that perceived their neighbourhoods as insecure exhibited different travel behaviour than households in secure areas. Our research showed that socioeconomic factors were less relevant in explaining travel behaviour in insecure areas than in secure areas. On the contrary, territorial factors became significant in such explanation in insecure areas. Most of the literature has related violence and travel behaviour by studying how the design of specific places as transport facilities or surrounding areas could induce fear of crime and hamper the use of public transport. Instead, our research suggested that violence extended in greater areas as blocks and neighbourhoods should be taken into account in countries afflicted by crises of violence. In such countries, public security measures appeared as an essential precondition to discussions on modal change or on sustainable public transport development.

在过去的十年中，墨西哥的暴力行为恶化了，目前在大多数城市地区普遍存在。超过30％的墨西哥人说，他们不走户外或乘坐出租车。我们试图了解遭受这场安全危机的家庭如何改变他们的日常旅行行为。因此，我们分析了一些官方统计数据，并在犯罪指标特别严峻的瓜达拉哈拉大都市区的中部地区进行了调查。应用Logistic回归来了解那些认为邻里不安全的家庭是否与安全地区的家庭表现出不同的出行行为。我们的研究表明，社会经济因素在解释不安全地区的旅行行为方面不如在安全地区重要。相反，在不安全地区的这种解释中，领土因素变得很重要。大多数文献都通过研究特定地点的交通设施或周边地区的设计如何引起人们对犯罪的恐惧并阻碍了公共交通的使用，而与暴力和旅行行为相关。相反，我们的研究表明，在遭受暴力危机困扰的国家中，应考虑到街区和街区，将暴力扩大到更大范围。在这些国家，公共安全措施似乎是讨论模式变化或可持续公共交通发展的必要前提。大多数文献都通过研究将特定场所设计为交通设施或周边地区如何引起对犯罪的恐惧并阻碍了公共交通工具的使用，从而与暴力和旅行行为相关。相反，我们的研究表明，在遭受暴力危机困扰的国家中，应考虑到街区和街区，将暴力扩大到更大范围。在这些国家，公共安全措施似乎是讨论模式变化或可持续公共交通发展的必要先决条件。大多数文献都通过研究特定地点的交通设施或周边地区的设计如何引起人们对犯罪的恐惧并阻碍了公共交通的使用，而与暴力和旅行行为相关。相反，我们的研究表明，在遭受暴力危机困扰的国家中，应考虑到街区和街区，将暴力扩大到更大范围。在这些国家，公共安全措施似乎是讨论模式变化或可持续公共交通发展的必要前提。
