Study the Role of Architecture and Environmental Design in Crime Prevention with Emphasis on CPTED Approach. Parto Sh, Ziabakhsh N. J. Civil Eng. Urban., 5(4): 165-169, 2015; pii:S225204301500027-5 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 [Full text-PDF] منبع: [Hidden Content] J.

Applying Environmental Design Approach (CPTED) to Improve Security in Urban Worn Out Texture; Case Study: Urmia Downtown, Iran Ahmadi B., Afrouz M., Hashemi S.M. J. Civil Eng. Urban., 5(2): 94-101, 2015; pii:S225204301500017-5 Abstract Most crime occurs when the perpetrator finds an appropriate opportunity; the opportunities may be due to a factor or a combination of several factors. In many cases, the term of opportunity to commit crime is used with secure together. Security is one of the main sustainable factors of today’s communities, without stability and security, there is no possibility of growth and development for any community and positive achievements will be replaced by negative ones. One of physical solutions to increasing security is crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), which is currently the most efficient solution to supply physical security through reducing criminal opportunities in urban areas. Worn out textures in cities due to the specific physical and activity characteristics are considered as one of the main crime rise centers. In this study, the factors affecting insecurity and creating criminal opportunities of worn out texture of Urmia downtown have been studied. The research method is analytical-descriptive and the tool of library studies, survey and open questionnaires has been used to collect required data. The research result shows that due to insecurity reasons in the scope of the study, the principles of CPTED approach can be effective in reducing the rate of insecurity. To this end, strategies for enhancing security in the study area using environmental design approach would be proposed at the end.
