文献レビューに基づく路上犯罪の都市環境的ハザード抽出

Abstract

Social interest in "Planning for Crime Prevention", for the purpose of improving urban crime prevention, is increasing. The previous studies that elucidated the urban environmental factors that affected the crime played a major part in Planning for Crime Prevention, and, furthermore, these findings from the previous studies have been used when we discovered a potentially dangerous area. However, in fact, the urban environmental factors affecting the crime do not cause a crime, and these factors are only hazard of the crimes. Therefore a purpose of this study is to extract crime hazards through literature review to investigate urban environmental indexes that are capable of helping a risk evaluation or analysis. Specifically, the following were conducted. 1) From among domestic journals published from 1980 through 2011, the articles on the relationship between urban environment and crime were sorted; 2) The crime hazards regarding street crimes were extracted from these articles.
