Abstract

Fear of crime is a social phenomenon that mainly affects the population of urban communities and it is recognized as an issue by both the academic community and society itself. To study the phenomenon, it is necessary to collect primary data, either using traditional data collection methods or using well-established online questionnaires. This paper describes the process and architecture of developing an interactive data survey, analysis, and geovisualization web-based platform to support online questionnaires and surveys, related to the urban fear of crime. The main goal is to provide tools and utilities for researchers, journalists, groups or individuals, interested in the scientific aspect of fear of crime, to collect related data and analyze them within a common interface. The fear of crime platform utilizes a client-server Web-GIS application that gives access to a worldwide spatial database. As the fear of crime platform is a dynamic ecosystem that grows up every day, this database is also growing proportionally by individuals around the world. The project’s development is accessible at the following web address: www.fearofcrime.com

感知安全与犯罪恐惧:基于网络的GIS平台。

犯罪恐惧是一种主要影响城市社区人口的社会现象，是学术界和社会本身都公认的问题。为了研究这一现象，有必要收集原始数据，要么使用传统的数据收集方法，要么使用完善的在线问卷。本文描述了开发一个交互式数据调查、分析和地理可视化网络平台的过程和架构，以支持与城市犯罪恐惧相关的在线问卷和调查。主要目标是为对犯罪恐惧的科学方面感兴趣的研究人员、记者、团体或个人提供工具和实用程序，以收集相关数据并在一个共同的界面中分析它们。“犯罪恐惧”平台利用一个客户机-服务器Web-GIS应用程序，该应用程序提供对全球空间数据库的访问。由于恐惧犯罪平台是一个每天都在成长的动态生态系统，这个数据库也在全球范围内按比例增长。该项目的开发可通过以下网址访问:www.fearofcrime.com

期刊介绍： Cybergeo, the electronic European Journal of Geography, is intended to promote faster communication of research and greater direct contact between authors and readers. Created with the aim of encouraging the exchange of ideas, methods and results, it publishes in any european language. It deals with the entire range of geographical concerns and interests, with no preferences for any particular school or theme. A high scientific standard is ensured by submitting articles to an international committee of readers. By hosting discussion and mailing list the journal aims to stimulate open debate and intellectual exchange. Access to the published articles is facilitated by a system of headings and key-words. For as long as is possible, access will be kept unrestricted and free of charge. CYBERGEO is intended as a response to the specific needs of academic communication, by offering the possibility of a rapid exchange of information, immediate feedback on articles and events relevant to geography, on-going discussions, the latest research on specific questions, offers of results or documents, information about the availability of maps, and so on. CYBERGEO aims to be an instrument for networking the geographical community, as well as helping to increase the external visibility of the discipline. In addition to the journal itself, a services heading offers a range of geographical information (data bases, servers, journal summaries, and so on).
