Understanding the position of urban spatial configuration on the feeling of insecurity from crime in public spaces

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