Abstract
Three surveys were made for schoolchildren's parents to obtain basic data for appropriate crime prevention measures on school attendance routes. Survey1. A questionnaire survey to evaluate the effectiveness of measures for crime prevention at the attending elementary school ways. Survey2. Point out the areas where parents feel fear of crime on schoolchildren in the school district by enclosing areas with a fear of crime with a line. Survey3. Building use and the degree of inward view of buildings from streets are surveyed. The results are as follows; (1) “Going to school in group”, “going to school with attendants” and “security guard by volunteers” etc., are appreciated as secure countermeasures. (2)The effect of natural surveillance from shops and houses will lead to the sense of security. (3)Parks, roads under the elevated railway, complicated narrow roads in old built-up areas are pointed out as the areas with a fear of crime. (4)Narrow roads cause the fear of crime because of “information of suspicious person's appearance”, “no presence of persons” and “darkness in the night”. (5) Roads whose linear density of buildings with a good inward view is 2.0 or more are not pointed out as the areas with a fear of crime.
