A Study on the Analysis of Risk Factors for Crime Prevention in Multi-Family Housing

The increase in single-person households is one of the phenomena that is attracting attention in modern society. This study analyzes the risk factors of living in multi-family houses and studies and analyzes how safety facilities are installed and managed to propose improvement measures. The survey was conducted by deriving 7 detailed factors, including the experience of crime damage, fear of crime, and installation of safety facilities, etc. In addition, the installation status of image information processing devices, which are physical safety facilities, was investigated and analyzed. As a result of the survey, the improvement of the risk exposure to crime and the installation and maintenance of safety facilities were investigated as very important factors. The fear of crime did not show significant differences by age or household size, and it was found that the fear of all types of crime has increased. Although crime prevention standards have been established as related laws, multi-family houses are classified as recommended applications, and the blind spots of crime have been identified. Therefore, it is proposed that the crime prevention standards are mandatory for multi-family houses. In addition, it proposes the necessity of enacting laws that can enforce management because the maintenance standards of image information processing devices, which are physical safety facilities, do not have legal regulations. This study emphasizes the importance of residential safety and living environment, and believes that it can be used as an important study that can greatly affect the safety and welfare of society.
