“…Sustainability has been predominantly perceived as an environmental or economic issue [19,28], which fails to consider the issues of crime and fear of crime to any meaningful extent while others have discussed the subject minimally [29]. Indeed, crime as a dimension of sustainability has only recently been subject to more widespread evaluation and discussion [19,28] and arguably represents a dynamic addition to this evolving body of knowledge.…”

Globally, the environmental movement has played a pivotal role in influencing the development of sustainability. Increasingly, urban sustainability is seen as a new large-scale vision to guide the planning agenda for the twenty-first century. However, a review of the literature clearly indicates that crime and fear of crime can seriously undermine the broader aims of urban sustainability. Furthermore, analysts tend to focus on levels of recorded crime, largely ignoring the crucial and arguably more important dimension of citizens' fear of crime and their perceptions of their local environment. This paper provides recommendations for integrating crime and fear of crime within urban sustainability. It also proposes that 'designing out crime' represents a vital tool for assisting in the development of urban sustainability.

“…According to socioeconomic findings of many ecology studies since 1960s, crimes are highly correlated with poverty (Gorr & Olligschlaeger, 1994;Olligschlaeger, 1997;Cahill & Mulligan, 2003;Ceccato et al, 2002;Gruenewald et al, 2006), unemployment (Schmid, 1960;Ackerman, 1998;Ceccato et al, 2002;Gruenewald et al, 2006), lower income (Schmid, 1960;Ackerman, 1998), education levels (Schmid, 1960;Ackerman, 1998;Cahill & Mulligan, 2003;Cozens, 2002;Gruenewald et al, 2006), being a renter (Ackerman, 1998), population density (Ackerman, 1998;Cahill & Mulligan, 2003;Ceccato et al, 2002;Cozens, 2002;Malczewski & Poetz, 2005), migration (Ackerman, 1998;Ceccato et al, 2002), minority (Ackerman, 1998;Gruenewald et al, 2006), marital status (Ackerman, 1998), number of children (Ackerman, 1998;Olligschlaeger, 1997;Gruenewald et al, 2006), youth (Olligschlaeger, 1997;Gruenewald et al, 2006), family structure (Cahill & Mulligan, 2003;Ceccato et al, 2002;Malczewski & Poetz, 2005), ethnicity (Ergün & Yirmibeşoğlu, 2005;Gruenewald et al, 2006) and commercial land uses (Olligschlaeger, 1997;Cozens, 2002;…”

“…Some geographical findings reveal that crimes are considerably correlated with distance from city center (Ceccato et al, 2002;Ergün & Yirmibeşoğlu, 2005), accessibility (Ceccato et al, 2002;Ergün & Yirmibeşoğlu, 2005), design of a housing (Newman, 1972;Ceccato et al, 2002;Cozens, 2002), number of public transportation (Murray et al, 2001;Ayhan, 2007), building environments (Newman, 1972;Ayhan, 2007).…”

ABSTRACT:Urban geographers have been studying to explain factors influencing crime on cases limited by their study areas. Researchers have a common opinion that explanatory variables modelling crime on those cases might be irrelevant for another one. None of the researchers tested significance of these variables with changing scales of the study area. Because their data did not allow them to study with different scales. This research examines the scale effect with various data from a wide range of data sources. Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) method is used to explain that effect, after organizing data by Geographical Information System (GIS) technologies. Explanatory variables deduced for district scale are different from those for grid scale. Hence, the explanatory variables may change not only for different geographical areas but also for different scales of the same area.

“…A safe and steady society should be described by the rules and regulations, or by a set of actions against threats that could endanger the health of persons or the society (Cozens, 2002). The economic effects of the social violence and its relationship with poverty, inequality and injustice recognized as a big concern in the international community (Moser & McIlwaine, 2006).…”
