“…In this area, a system is deployed to detect cars parked in prohibited spots. Hempel (2007) has studied traditional forms of such systems in London, based on the monitoring by staff of video footage in London. In our example from Asia, a system using cameras attached to public buses provides this information to the center, which deploys mobile units (on bicycles) to give tickets to cars that block a spot for longer than 5 minutes and are recorded by the automatic systems several times.…”

Through a variety of empirical studies, this volume offers fresh insights into the manner in which different forms of communicative action transform urban space. With attention to the methodological questions that arise from the attempt to study such changes empirically, it offers new theoretical foundations for understanding the social construction and reconstruction of spaces through communicative action. Seeing communicative action as the basic element in the social construction of reality and conceptualizing communication not only in terms of the use of language and texts, but as involving any kind of objectification, such as technologies, bodies and nonverbal signs, it considers the roles of both direct and mediatized (or digitized) communication. An examination of the conceptualization of the communicative (re-)construction of spaces and the means by which this change might be empirically investigated, this book demonstrates the fruitfulness of the notion of refiguration as a means by which to understand the transformation of contemporary societies. As such, it will appeal to sociologists, social theorists, and geographers with interests in social construction and urban space.

“…As CCTV systems are not alike, but highly context-dependent ( Hempel, 2007 ;T ö pfer, 2007 ), survey research on CCTV must take into account the specifi c setting that is being studied to be able to make any statements about that setting in particular and more general statements beyond that. The research that preceded this survey investigated CCTV in general, and was based on qualitative interviews ( Czerwinski and Zurawski, 2006 ).…”

‘It is all about perceptions’: Closed-circuit television, feelings of safety and perceptions of space – What the people say

Results from a survey conducted in Hamburg in 2006 suggest that closed-circuit television (CCTV) has little to do with manufacturing security / feelings of safety among people. It seems that preceding spatial perceptions have a greater impact on whether a certain space or place is regarded as being unsafe or not. In this paper, I will present data from a quantitative survey that questions the role of feelings of security and how they might impact attitudes about CCTV, and highlight that the perceived safeness of a space has little to do with the technology and more with socio-relations, of which space is but one part. This does not mean that CCTV has no impact at all, but rather that it is not necessarily the major factor it is thought to be, and seemingly not a measure to enhance feelings of safety in public spaces. The survey also raises questions about the aptness of the methodology to researching spatial issues, because of the complexity of space and spatial contexts.
