Abstract
ABSTRACT In 2016, the Chinese government raised community opening policy for the first time. In order to study the effects of spatial anticrime in open communities, five quantifiable evaluation indexes are selected, which are “flow density, police deployment distance, spatial visibility, anti-capture ability and spatial connectivity”. They are applied to the quantitative analysis of the spatial anticrime performance of two different building layouts in open community in China. The spatial anticrime analysis model from the perspective of crime prevention is practical and feasible, which is of avail for the police to check up the physical environment vulnerable to crime in advance, and to carry out preliminary prevention from the causes of crime. The empirical study shows that both “Determinant” and “Enclosed” Community layout have their own advantages and disadvantages. Overall, the spatial structure of determinant is safer than the enclosed spatial structure, but the partial safety is lower due to the obstruction of sight and insufficient pedestrian flow in the narrow space between some buildings. The enclosed layout structure has higher safety in the interior space of the community space group, but lower safety factor on the main roads. Finally, the corresponding security promotion strategies are proposed for these two communities.
