A Study on the Improvement of CPTED Policies and Projects through Data Analysis of Local Governments and Public Officials' Survey

In this study, based on the analysis of the CPTED comprehensive plans and guidelines of local governments nationwide, and a survey of CPTED practitioners, the current status of each CPTED project stage was reviewed and implications were sought. The findings of this study are as follows. First, a total of 57 local governments have established the CPTED comprehensive plans and guidelines. Second, the CPTED comprehensive plans were divided between the CPTED-focused plan and the plan established as a sub-strategy of the Public Design Basic Plan. Third, the CPTED project procedure (step) consists of project planning and planning, public offering and selection of target sites, current status survey and analysis, planning, construction, execution, maintenance, and evaluation. But, it was confirmed that there was no comprehensive plan or guideline that included both the contents and key points of each step. Finally, most of the projects were carried out in residential areas. In conclusion, in terms of quantity, the CPTED projects are spreading, but the system for promoting customized projects to respond to local crime problems is considered insufficient. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to systematize or standardize the contents of the CPTED comprehensive plan established based on ordinances in the short term. And in the long run, laws based on the government-level CPTED projects should be prepared. Summarizing the above results, although it must be used in daily life, there is a lack of facilities for space activation on deserted pedestrian paths, and the existing crime prevention facilities have a lack of number or low visibility, so the risk of personal crime is very high. For the safety of such pedestrian paths, environmental improvement by applying the principle of enhancing the legibility and activity support of CPTED is necessary, and additional facilities for traffic safety are also needed.
