ABSTRACT

Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) reduces the opportunities for crime by improving the physical environmental factors that cause crime in urban space such as architectural design and urban planning, making citizens feel less fear of crime and maintain safety. The purpose of this study was to extract the vulnerable areas of crime by analyzing the relation between physical environmental factors and crime. For this purpose, multiple regression linear analysis was performed to estimate the weight for extracting vulnerable crime areas using the number of five major crimes including murder, robbery, rape, theft, and violence as dependent variables and physical environmental factors as independent variables, respectively. By applying the estimated weights, vulnerable areas of crime in urban areas were extracted. Experiments focused on urban areas have shown that narrow road width and temporary buildings have a great impact on the occurrence of murder and violent crime. In addition, when the road width is narrow and the blind spot is large, the robbery and rape crimes are frequent, and when there are temporary buildings and unpaved roads, theft crime occurs.
