The article was developed with the objective of identifying which aspects (factors or urban elements), influence the security issue in the centre of the city of Salvador, from the characterization and analysis of the 11 neighbourhoods that integrate the historic centre. This was subdivided into topics with an emphasis on the city in its urban aspects and what would make a city safe, running through security, understanding its multiple concepts until reaching public security and security in the city. Finally, we talk about Salvador and its centre, the characteristics of the neighbourhoods that compose it and how the residents of the analyzed neighbourhoods perceive security. The research regarding the methodology relied on the support of primary data obtained in the database of the QualiSalvador-UFBA research group built through field research in the 163 neighbourhoods that make up the municipality, with an average application of one hundred questionnaires/neighbourhood in order to identify the Urban Environmental Quality Index of the city.
