Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the status of crime in new town in the Capital Region of Korea and analyze the physical factors that affect crime. The spatial scope of the study is Bundang, Ilsan, Dongtan, and Pangyo, which are representative of the first and second new cities, and the temporal range was set from 2010 to 2014, and after analyzing the crime status of four new cities, the characteristics of major hotspots were confirmed through field surveys from a micro perspective, and the factors influencing crime were identified through spatial regression analysis from a macro perspective.
 The main results obtained through this study are as follows. First, as a result of the analysis of the crime status of the new city, it was found that the rate of theft and violence was high in the first new city. In particular, theft crimes occur relatively frequently, and sex crimes occur less frequently, but they have been confirmed to occur steadily. The second new city varies greatly from region to region, with relatively many violent crimes occurring in general, and the incidence of violent crimes such as sex crimes and robbery crimes was relatively higher than that of the first new city.
 Based on the analysis of the five major crime hotspots, the crime impact factors from a micro perspective were analyzed through field surveys at major points, but the use of buildings in the area was similar to commercial facilities, apartments, multi-family and multi-family houses, row houses, and multi-use facilities.
 As a result of analyzing crime impact factors from a macro perspective through spatial regression analysis in Bundang New Town, it was found that other housing (+), entertainment/lodging (+), exercise facilities (+), and CCTV (+) had the most significant impact on total crime. Theft was the most significant variable for other dwellings (+), entertainment/lodging (+), and exercise facilities (+). Single-family houses (+), general restaurants (+), exercise facilities (+), and CCTV (+) had the most significant impact on violence. Finally, single-family houses (+), general restaurants (+), exercise facilities (+), and CCTV (+) had the most significant impact on sex crimes.
