The Influence of Urban Built-up Environment on Sense of Residential Security: Based on the Empirical Research of 278 Communities in Urban China

In different countries, the built and social environments have varying impacts on the sense of residential security. Studies show that in communities with strong cohesion and more homogeneous residents, the “eyes on the street” provided by high-density road networks can enhance security, and public spaces composed of semi-acquaintances can significantly increase the sense of safety.

Integrating public safety and use into planning urban greenways

When planning urban greenway systems, it is essential to balance the tension between the natural environment and public safety. Several principles should be followed: maintaining clear sightlines, visibility, the ability to choose and control paths, and providing privacy and environmental legibility while minimizing the sense of isolation.

Improvement of public space safety in urban residential areas by landscape design

By strengthening architectural boundaries, improving road connections, and restoring public spaces, a strong sense of community can be fostered, promoting closer interactions among residents. At the same time, constructing new public facilities and renovating old buildings and landscape elements can significantly enhance the overall safety and positive image of older communities.

Neighborhood Effects on Crime in San Francisco: An Examination of Residential, Nonresidential, and “Mixed” Land Uses

It questions the assumption that purely residential areas have less crime and purely nonresidential areas have more, especially regarding mixed-use areas. From its research perspectives, the amount of heterogeneity among the eight specific land uses that were adjacent to each other or in direct proximity to each other was consistently associated with more crime despite the effects of mixed land use are subtle based on different measurement methods.
