“…The quality and attractiveness of urban parks, which translate directly to their use, depend on many aspects, with safety being one of the key factors, as confirmed by many studies [ 92 , 163 , 181 ]. According to Sundevall and Jansson [ 106 ], creating an inclusive public space appropriate for various age groups, including older adults, requires getting to know their habits and expectations.…”

“…The first hypothesis was that there are differences between the sense of security of older adults and other groups of urban park users. After literature review, we indicated that factors influencing the sense of security of all groups of users of urban green areas are discussed in publications to a very different extent [ 92 , 181 ]. In the case of reports regarding age, some of them show that older adults, included in the group of people with special requirements, generally have a lower sense of security than other age groups of users of public spaces [ 26 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 ].…”

High crowds at subway stations have the potential to lead to violent crimes such as robbery that lead to homicide [ 98 ] 1 3 V25: Public parks The total number of municipality public parks/total land area (km2) Some studies have reported high rates of violence and violent crime in public parks [ 99 , 100 ] 1 3 WT Wellbeing Toronto, V ...…”

“…Community safety is one of the primary indicators of a livable and sustainable city [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Urban space, as the highest spatial structure of human habitation and concentration, harbors great potential for human development and prosperity, but it also serves as a potential hot spot for the dark side of human nature [ 7 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Crime occurrence was never a simple A causes B type of equation but rather involves complex and convoluted socioeconomic [ 5 , 16 ], demographic [ 15 ], human psychological [ 17 , 18 , 19 ], governance [ 20 ], and even physical building environmental factors [ 2 , 3 , 6 , 7 , 9 , 21 ].…”
