The purpose of this study is to identify effectiveness factors for crime prevention and residents’ satisfaction through analysis of pre- and
post-project crime and survey data in the CPTED(crime prevention through environmental design) pilot project area. According to the study,
the five major crimes in the target area were reduced by 64.6%, and hot-spots were reduced by focusing on areas applied CPTED strategies.
Especially, thefts decreased by more than 50% from 18.6 cases to 9.0 cases per year, and the fear of crimes related to vulnerable
environments such as burglary and drunken disturbance was greatly reduced. The majority of respondents (83.0%) were aware of the CPTED
applied to the region, and the satisfaction level of improving the environment vulnerable to crime was over 70%. In addition, crime rate and
fear of crime were expected to decrease by more than 80 percent, and the continuation and expansion of the CPTED project was approved
by more than 90 percent of the respondents. Among the CPTED strategies, the satisfaction and the expected effect of crime prevention of
safety pathway, CCTV, emergency bell, children's parks and wall painting which applied the principles of surveillance, legibility and activity
support were high. In conclusion, this study is meaningful in that it has identified the effectiveness of the CPTED project and the satisfaction
level of residents through empirical analysis and has identified a valid crime prevention strategy. |
