“…The existing works on individual aspects of the study of spatial factors in the security mechanism are isolated works by specialists in various fields of knowledge (sociology, urban planning, information technology, criminal law). At the same time, CPTED's strategy of focusing on finding security vulnerabilities through natural access control, natural surveillance, area strengthening, public space maintenance and community prevention has proven to be useful and effective as a very concrete strategy for preventing crime and changing individual perceptions of territory from a security/unsecurity perspective, integrated into an interdisciplinary approach of "geo-warning" [5], since "the proper design and effective use of an artificial environment can lead to a reduction in crime and fear of crime, as well as to an improvement in the quality of life" [7], which suggests the need to continue to develop it in the light of experience with its application.…”

The article analyzes existing models in counteraction to crime as one of the threats to national security. On the basis of the analysis of the legislation, a conclusion was made about the priority of the preventive approach in this sphere. At the same time, modern criminal policy demonstrates a qualitatively different method, oriented more towards the increasing repressiveness of the criminal law. One of the possible reasons for such a situation is the lack of criminological substantiation of legislative, political, economic, etc. transformations adopted today, which actualizes the criminological scientific research on the declared problems. In this regard, interdisciplinary and comparative criminological research, focusing primarily on preventive responses, is of the greatest importance in combating crime. This includes situational crime prevention, based on the achievements of rational choice theory integrated within the framework of environmental criminology, and crime prevention strategies based on environmental design (CPTED).

“…An open park space will meet the diversified needs of urban people, so it is necessary to effectively improve the connectivity of the park area space and effectively link the multi-dimensional characteristics of renovated industrial parks. An important factor regarding the user per-ception of industrial heritage parks is safety, and the parks that contain gazetted attributes can be renovated and subsequently renewed to enhance environmental safety by taking into account certain rules based on crime prevention, which can be realized through the introduction of the CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) concept [41] into the design. The CPTED concept is the proper design and effective use of a built environment, which can lead to a reduction in the incidence of crime and fear of crime as well as to improvement in the quality of life.…”

Industrial heritage parks, an effective form of urban brownfield reuse, effectively mitigate pollution, improve the human living environment, and achieve sustainable development; industrial heritage parks, which add blue and green space to a city, also play an important role in presenting urban history and culture, promoting regional economic growth, and achieving human well-being. Exploring the user behavior use of industrial heritage parks and conducting post-occupancy evaluation of projects based on subjective human perceptions from the users’ perspective can contribute to improve the sustainable management, maintenance, and design of projects in the future. However, previous studies on post-occupancy evaluation have not been sufficiently studied for urban industrial heritage parks. This study takes Beijing Shougang Park, a representative industrial heritage park in China, as the research object, and distributes and collects nearly 150 questionnaires about user behavior and four significant evaluation items after the preliminary field research, analyzes the importance and satisfaction evaluation of the park design elements (place characteristics, natural environment characteristics, usability characteristics, and management characteristics), and uses a frequency analysis, an IPA analysis, an independent t-test, an analysis of variance, and a multiple regression analysis, and other methods are used, to quantitatively analyze the content of the questionnaire. The results of the study include the following: (1) The park is mainly used by people in their twenties to thirties and forties, and the usage rate of the sports plaza, which is the main facility, is the highest, while the usage rate of the renovation facility, the machine room, is the lowest. (2) While Shougang Park users were more satisfied with the natural environment features, Shougang Park users were found to be relatively less satisfied with the place and usability features. (3) The natural environment characteristics of Shougang Park had a positive effect on both overall satisfaction and recommendation intention. Finally, based on the questions and suggestions from users, a park renewal optimization strategy is proposed, hoping to provide suggestions for the renovation and design of similar industrial heritage parks in Chinese cities.

“…Perez-Tejera, Anguera, Guardia-Olmos, Dalmau-Bueno, and Valera [73] and Sun, Lin, and Yin [54] found that women felt safer when living in a neighborhood for a long time, even though it did not have additional security solutions. Matlovičová, Mocák, and Kolesárová [76] analyzed environmental planning solutions that could increase security-such as the creation of monitored spaces (increases the feeling of security), the use of greenery near buildings (to protect against vandalism), and the installation of lighting (ensures the ability to notice other people). When choosing revitalization solutions, it is important to consider the safety of the most vulnerable groups of people, because designers have the potential to prevent crime from happening [77].…”

Influence of Revitalization on the Social and Economic Well-Being of Residents: Case Study of Lithuania

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The lack of public spaces, recreational areas, and sports facilities in older city neighborhoods, as well as the importance of people’s social and economic well-being, have been exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Revitalization is used to update the physical environment of old neighborhoods; it improves not only the physical environment of the neighborhood, but also contributes to ensuring the social and economic well-being of the residents. The article aims to identify which typical revitalization project solutions, only referring to physical environmental improvement projects, improve the social and economic well-being of the residents. To achieve this goal, a statistical analysis of the Žirmūnai triangle residents was performed with obtained survey data. The hypothesized connections between typical revitalization solutions and changes in the social and economic well-being of the population were verified using Pearson’s Chi-Square test. The results showed that the public spaces, sports, and playgrounds provided by revitalization were directly related to the social and economic well-being of the residents. As a result of this typical revitalization solution, 17% of the residents experienced an improvement in their economic well-being, 17% of the residents got to know their neighbors, and 95% of the residents indicated that they enjoy living in the neighborhood.
