Abstract
The purpose of this study is to consider crime prevention measures in ethnic areas focusing on Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) by an analysis of crime data and field survey. In this study, it was found that the main type of foreign crime that occurred in the research area was violence, and crimes committed by Koreans, which were mainly violence and crimes such as burglary, theft, robbery, and sexual offences, occurred steadily. Because it was found that crimes were related to the urban planning elements comprised of land use such as traditional market, inn, pub, and complicated space structure and the architectural design for natural surveillance and security facilities such as CCTV, lighting, alarm, and target hardening device, a new strategy for crime prevention design should include street environmental management, improvement of commercial facilities, and reinforcement security device of each buildings has to be spread through support of policy. In conclusion it was thought that CPTED would be a valuable measure to prevention crime and support community activities in ethnic area as expecting an improvement of physical environment and resident participatory for safer community.

With this problem in mind, this study explores crime prevention measures through a theoretical study of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED), a literature review, an analysis of crime data, a field survey of ethnic areas, and a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between criminal acts and environmental factors
Summary
One of the most significant current discussions in Korea is the social problem of the proliferation of the number of foreign workers’ residences [1,2]. In the field of architecture and urban planning, Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) is an important research theme that studies environmental measures consisting of crime-inducing or deterring factors [6]. There has been little discussion about the crime of foreign residents within CPTED. In this respect, it is necessary to analyze environmental factors related to crime in the ethnic areas. It is necessary to analyze environmental factors related to crime in the ethnic areas With this problem in mind, this study explores crime prevention measures through a theoretical study of CPTED, a literature review, an analysis of crime data, a field survey of ethnic areas, and a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between criminal acts and environmental factors
