In addition to the period of the day, other temporal attributes are considered, such as day of week, month and year in which the pedestrian mugging occurred. The 22 boroughs in the most central area of Porto Alegre were selected due to the highest concentration of crime in the streets, and to the fact that they are the most consolidated and dense urban areas, enabling the identification of the physical-spatial attributes of the segments. The pedestrian mugging occurrences were collected through digital platform “Where I was robbed” (www.ondefuiroubado.com.br) and cover the period from 01/01/12 to 31/03/16, totalizing 4 years and 3 months. The information obtained was recorded in the Quantum GIS program, based on a satellite image of the region and related to a segment map, generated by Depthmap. Segments attributes such as segment length, connectivity, integration and global and local choice were quantified by segments map analysis in Depthmap for the whole region covered by the 22 boroughs. The following segments attributes were identified and quantified via Google Street View for 30 segments with no pedestrian mugging in any of the four periods of the day and for 10 segments with most pedestrian mugging in each period (28 different segments since 12 segments were selected for more than one period): functional connections (number of accesses); visual connections, physical and visual barriers, lampposts; and garage doors. Types of building uses (residential, commerce/services and mixed use), and the uses during each of the four periods of the day on ground floors (the existence or not of residential, services or commercial activities) were identified through a map of uses elaborated by the City Council and checked via Google Street View. In addition, statistical analyses were performed in SPSS/PC program. The results show, for example, the tendency of pedestrian mugging to occur in the segments with lower visual and physical permeability and with greater length. Moreover, pedestrian mugging occurs with greater intensity in the Centro Borough and its immediate vicinity, mainly during the night, followed by the afternoon period.
