시민들의 CPTED 인식과 범죄두려움의 관계에서 무질서 인식의 매개효과

Abstract

This study aims to verify the mediating effect of disorder perception in the relationship between citizens' perception of CPTED and fear of crime in 539 citizens living in Seoul. Specifically, in this study, the concept about perception of CPTED was operationalized into territoriality, surveillance, and activity support, and the effect of these variables on crime fear was individually verified. And based on previous studies related to differences in fear of crime according to gender, the relationship between perception of CPTED, disorder perception, and fear of crime was more clearly verified through multi-group analysis of two groups, men and women.
 First, in the case of men, activity support completely mediated perception of disorder, statistically significantly predicting reduction in general and specific fear of crime. In addition, in the case of women, it was found that perception of disorder completely mediated the relationship between activity support and general fear of crime. Second, in the case of women, the partial mediating effect of perception of disorder has been verified in the relationship between surveillance and general, specific fear of crime. Third, in the case of women, territoriality completely mediated perception of disorder, statistically significantly explaining the reduction in specific fear of crime.
 In this study, the relationship between CPTED perception, disorder perception, and fear of crime was verified in detail and accurately by dividing the sample based on gender. Also based on the results, empirical evidence was presented that activation of CPTED policies could reduce fear of crime among citizens. In addition, this study is significant in that it presents policy suggestions for the CPTED project, which is currently being used in various directions, based on these grounds.
