Where dun it? Investigating the ecology of crime and design:an input to urban renewal and revitalization
This study seeks to identify the environmental attributes that can affect human behavior in different places. Pursuing the ecological theory that design influences how people think and feel in a place, and ultimately how they behave, the researchers used crime data for the years 2004 to 2007 from the Baguio City Police Office to determine the incidence and actual locations of crime hotspots. Combined qualitative and quantitative research methodology was employed through extensive fieldwork and observation, geographic visualization with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and data mining. It examines in detail the physical design and milieu of the hotspot places and finds a wealth of environmental attributes that create opportunities for crime. The paper discusses proper design responses and effective use of the built environment as an input to urban renewal and revitalization, and consequently, an improvement in our quality of life through the reduction of the incidence and fear of crime.
