An Exploratory Study on the Spatial Correlation between the Crime Prevention Through Evironmental Design (CPTED) Project Implementation Area in Seoul and the Crime dangerous grade at the Administrative dong Level

This study selected the entire Seoul Metropolitan Government as an analysis target site, and examined the spatial correlation between the CPTED project implementation area and the occurrence grade by crime type at an exploratory level. It is desirable that CPTED be applied to areas selected as vulnerable areas for crime, and through this, high crime prevention effects in the local community can also be expected. However, there is also a possibility of committing an error in measurement in which subjectivity is involved depending on the personal competence of the CPO injected for field observation. In addition, local governments or the private sector need investment to implement the CPTED project, and there may be areas where CPTED is not implemented even though it is a high crime risk area due to differences in conditions in each community. Therefore, this study geocoded and displayed the CPTED project application areas promoted in cooperation with the police and local governments, and explored the distribution of these locations. In addition, spatial correlation was reviewed to the extent of the correlation between the CPTED project application area and the crime type at the administrative dong level, and spatial regression was analyzed to see if the CPTED project affects the crime type in the region while controlling other factors. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the regional deviation of the CPTED project was very high, and no significant correlation was found between the CPTED project and the incidence grade by crime type. This suggests that the systematic diagnosis of the crime occurrence grade at the level of administrative dong was somewhat insufficient when selecting the CPTED project area. In this study, it was suggested that the current CPO and CSO systems were urgently improved through the derived research results, and finally, the limitations of the study were discussed.
