공중화장실 VR체험을 통한 범죄두려움 요소 도출

Abstract

Recently, many women in Korea are afraid of violent crimes and sex crimes in public toilets. The purpose of this study is to specifically and empirically identify the fear of crime factors that can be felt in public toilets. In this study, VR was implemented with actual public toilet elements in order to minimize the risk of actual crime exposure and time and cost problems that could be occurred through field experiences, and fear factors were derived through survey after VR experiment. As a result of this study, respondents were found to have fears about the location of the toilets, all-gender toilets, the brightness, maintenance, management of the public toilets, and specific fear of crime related to sex crimes were high. In addition, it was confirmed that the evaluation of each VR element showed differences depending on the level of fear felt by the individual. Through these results, we would like to provide implications such as the separation of men and women in public toilets, installing CCTV around the public toilets, and attaching notification statements related to emergency bells.
