The present study investigates the interaction between the city and security. It is understood that notions of have various and complex determinants, including those of a sociocultural nature, widely discussed in the literature. However, it is also understood that environmental variables influence urban violence, potentially inhibiting or facilitating criminal activity. Thus, the central objective of this study is to identify how land use and road network configuration influence crime occurrence in Uberaba, Minas Gerais. Official crime data on thefts and robberies targeting pedestrians, residences, and commercial establishments between 2019 and 2022 were used for this purpose. The methodology involved visually analyzing the relationships between Kernel density maps and spatial syntax measures, followed by calculating the Crime Location Quotient (CLQ) associated with urban activity nodes. The results highlight strong relationships between syntactic measures of integration and choice with patterns of criminal occurrences, as well as an association of urban amenities such as convenience stores with robberies. Consequently, it is concluded that this research contributes to the development of tools for mitigating and preventing crime through urban planning.
