“…In addition, Crime Prevention Through Environment Design (CPTED) is also an important component of the approach that this study seeks to explore. CPTED is designed to enhance the safety perception of pedestrians through the design of urban spaces [27,28], and it has been widely used to enhance urban safety in regions such as Europe and the USA [29]. Similarly, the concept of the 'street eye' proposed by Jacobs [30] also emphasizes the impact of environmental design on the perception of street safety.…”

Streets are an essential element of urban safety governance and urban design, but they are designed with little regard for possible gender differences. This study proposes a safety perception evaluation method from the female perspective based on street view images (SVIs) and mobile phone data, taking the central city of Guangzhou as an example. The method relies on crowdsourced data and uses a machine learning model to predict the safety perception map. It combines the simulation of women's walking commuting paths to analyse the areas that need to be prioritised for improvement. Multiple linear regression was used to explain the relationship between safety perception and visual elements. The results showed the following: 1) There were differences in safety perceptions across genders. Women gave overall lower safety scores and more dispersed distribution of scores. 2) Approximately 11% of the streets in the study area showed weak perceived safety, and approximately 3% of these streets have high pedestrian flows and require priority improvements. 3) Safe visual elements in SVIs included the existence of roads, sidewalks, cars, railways, people, skyscrapers, and trees. Our findings can help urban designers determine how to evaluate urban safety and where to optimise key areas. Both have practical implications for urban planners seeking to create urban environments that promote greater safety.

“…Dalam sudut pandang human behavior, privatisasi ini membuat orang tidak nyaman dan menimbulkan alternatif untuk tidak memakainya. Dalam presepsi psikologi lingkungan hal ini dapat dijelaskan sebagai suatu bentuk affordance, dimana persepsi manusia terhadap lingkungannya disesuaikan dengan keselamatan dan kebutuhannya [9], [10]. Desain arsitektur tidak menciptakan kegiatan, namun memberi peluang kemungkinan untuk terciptanya kegiatan itu.…”

Kecelakaan kerja tidak lagi berada di wilayah kerja, melainkan merambah pada domain publik. Kondisi seperti ini membawa pergeseran besar sudut pandang bahwa kecelakaan kerja tidak lagi berdampak pada pekerja dan perusahaan, melainkan berimbas juga pada masyarakat atau publik dalam skala yang lebih luas. Diskursus ini memuat bagaimana peran perencana dan perancang kota melalui kriteria dan karakteristik yang penting dan tepat dapat mendukung secara preventif sekaligus akses mitigasi dalam menjamin keselamatan dan kesehatan ruang publik perkotaan. Refleksi yang muncul adalah perbaikan keamanan dan kesehatan ruang publik perkotaan tidak terjadi melalui penegakan peraturan yang kecil dan parsial, melainkan melalui upaya jangka panjang untuk membangun dan memelihara ruang demi mencegah bencana dan kecelakaan dalam menangani keselamatan dan kesehatan publik.

“…The essence of a defensible space is to restructure the neighborhood's physical layout so that the residents can control the area around their homes. The defensible space includes streets, expansive courtyards, lobbies, and corridors (Newman, 1996).…”

Introduction: Many studies have discussed crime and the feeling of insecurity in the public space. These studies produce diverse findings from various variables and different objects. However, the urban spatial configuration is still left unexplored in the study of insecurity from crime in the public space. The purpose of this study is to discuss the position of urban spatial configuration elements on the feeling of insecurity from crime in the public space evidenced by international literature.Methods: This study uses a systematic review method by evaluating studies published between 1970 and 2021.Results and Discussion: The results of this study state that studies on crime and feeling of insecurity in public spaces in urban planning and urban design context mainly evaluated the design features (crime prevention through environmental design) and Socio-demographics at micro–meso scale in the built environment. In contrast, urban spatial configuration variable or macro scale still underexplored. Studies have shown that issues will occur if policy-making and planning in urban areas ignore individual perceptions of feeling insecure regarding crime at macro scale. The findings of this study become a research gap for further studies. This study suggests that more researchers should evaluate the feelings of insecurity from crime in public spaces on a macro scale, namely the urban spatial configuration dimension, including city size, development type, the distribution pattern of population and job, degree of clustering, and landscape connectivity.
