The dynamic industrialization and urbanization of South Korea led to the country’s rapid economic growth. However, various problems accompanied such developments. Among these problems were crime and the fear of crime, which have become major urban challenges faced by South Korea. As such, citizens continuously requested that the government build safer communities. In 2013, the government established safe villages incorporating “Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design” (CPTED) principles in 10 towns (eub), townships (myun), and neighborhoods (dong) around the country. This study investigates the impact of the safe village residents’ awareness of CPTED on their fear of crime. Specifically, 250 residents from the safe village in Songjuk-dong, Suwon-si, Gyonggi-do, which is a part of the Safe Village Pilot Project, were surveyed to study the effectiveness of the safe village. The collected data are analyzed. Frequency analysis, factory analysis, reliability test, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis of the collected data show that the residents’ awareness of CPTED influences the fear of crime perceived by the safe village residents. The results of the study show that as the awareness of CPTED increases, the fear of crime decreases. As such, it can be said that the Safe Village Pilot Project – which was implemented to satisfy people’s desire for safe environments, and to reduce people’s anxiety and fear – does, in fact, improve the quality of life for residents of the safe villages. From this study, the following implications for policy concerning reduction of fear of crime are evident. To effectively reduce fear of crime, projects involving public safety infrastructure and residents' safety network should be built on the strategies of natural surveillance (lighting facilities, improving street furniture, etc.), territorial security (fencing, installing signs, etc.), and natural access control (installing entry/departure control apparatus, creating one-way streets, etc.), which acts to reduce specific fears.
