result of this study is as follows. First, it was confirmed that similar tendency was observed among experts group (researcher, public
officials, planner) related to outdoor public space. Therefore, the results of this study will be a certain reference point in the future social
consensus on the issue. Second, the experts related to physical environment evaluation showed that the priority of environmental planning
related to 'Natural surveillance' is highly evaluated in order to increase crime safety of outdoor public space. Next, it was recognized that
'Mechanical surveillance' and 'Legibility reinforcement' were needed. |
