Abstract

In order to generate comprehensive strategies that address the activity of providing security to basic public goods, the State establish policies. For this reason, for public spaces, especially those administered by municipalities, it is relevant to have a good security and surveillance system which attends to the large flow of people (users). In the process of providing these services, it is crucial to optimize the available resources. Currently, the Municipality of Asunción manage the Asunción Botanical Garden and Zoo (JBZA). In the present work, we analyze the current situation of the park, with the aim of design a coverage mathematical model to support the security and surveillance system of recreational and sports areas. The proposal is based on the theory of fixed coverage, where the installation location of the servers is indicated, and the objective is to maximize the demand covered by the security posts to be installed in 28 zones of the JBZA. In addition, due to the limited availability of information, an approximation of the demand of the zones is made. We compare the results obtained with the current working model.
