Abstract
Nowadays, on the one hand with rising crime statistics, especially in the urban environments and awareness of crime prevention before the outbreak on the other hand, is expected to experts of environmental design and architecture have special attention to approaches that focused on reducing and deterring crimes through the interdisciplinary and communicative nature among various sciences which are involved in the town and its management. Accordingly, crimes prevention approaches throughout environmental designing have been considered by planners and designers of the field of architecture and urban planning. This paper is pointed the main and base role of designers and architectures in reducing and deterring urban crimes in CPTED approach after noted that introduction of theoretical motivation and necessity in the field of urban public safety, and is briefly mentioned the concepts, principals, paradigms, and strategies of this approach. Methodology of present research is analytical and attributive which will focus on content explanation and efficiency mechanism of this approach in our current urban environments. Finally, results indicate that can be emphasized on this point which is reduced the rate of urban crime occurrence through environmental design and architecture. This point will be discussed in terms of strategic and operational approaches. Keywords: Security, Defensible Space, CPTED, Crime, Environmental Design
