Abstract
This is the first phase of the validation and adaptation of the questionnaire of environmental observation for the space and environmental analysis of the homicide in Bogotá. This work was made base on the Environmental Observation Inventory (Meeks, Perkins & Taylor, 1992), the homicide, the relations between environment and crime, which were the elements that account for the initial observation instrument. For the pilot study it was selected Kennedy (non-probabilistic sample) area and 20 places inside with bodies of homicide victims. The level of reliability between observers was 0.95. The instrument has 76 items in four scales of environmental observation, mess, territoriality, activity routine and defensible space.
