CPTED의 사회적 공간성 조명

Recent growth in people’s attention and social expectation in CPTED(Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) and following academic achievements are quite evident in the Korean society. However,some criticize the current trend of CPTED in Korea for over-emphasizing mere physical improvements of residential environment. Thus, this pilot study, based on Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, aims to empirically examine both positive and negative results of CPTED strategy and provide future policy implications on CPTED. To effectively apply the ecological systems theory, this study rearranged pre-examined variables,including meso-system variables, and established a framework to identify what the primary issues are in terms of CPTED accreditation. To test the model, data were collected from 199 residents in both CPTED-certified apartment complex and non-certified complex. Results showed that: (1)so-called ‘fortification’ of private residental area was evident, (2) such phenomenon harms the health of social networks and social capital, resulting in a dysfunctional ecological system. To develop a sustainable ecological system, the researchers discussed policy implications for the next generation CPTED strategy, specially designed and custom-built for the country.
