| Summary: | Over the next 13 years, Feira de
Santana, in the state of Bahia (BA), and Aracaju, in the
state of Sergipe (SE) will both benefit from significant
investments in street lighting. Several studies have
discussed the many benefits of this type of investment,
including the effects of street lighting on people’s
perceptions of safety and security. This study aims to
provide a baseline to support those lighting interventions
and contribute to an evaluation exercise at the end of the
investment cycle. The analysis contained herein tries to
explore the potential impacts on people’s behavior and
perceptions of safety and security, especially among women.
It also addresses education and job opportunities. |
