Abstract

Objective: To assess the spatial and statistical relationships between commercial land uses and pedestrian  injury collisions in Ciudad Juárez. Method: Cross sectional study using data from the Municipal Transit Police  from 2008 to 2011. Increased risk intersections are identified by spatial analysis. A socio-economic database  and Spearman correlation were constructed to know the relationship between the variables: ran over and  concentration of productive activities. Results: Eight traffic analysis zones were obtained. The results indicate that there is more risk of being hit where there is a higher density of employment in services and shops, as  well as for over 60 years old people. Conclusions: There is a high risk of collisions in areas with high intra- urban hierarchy associated with land uses with a vocation to shops and services. The density of collisions is  higher along major urban roads.
