The purpose of this study is to examine the crime characteristics in accordance with the land-use status of three districts (the 1980s ~ 2000s) targeting detached housing that was developed as the home lots development project zone and to propose urban planning and countermeasure of CPRTED for creating safe residential areas in the future.

The paper analyzed the population?the land use status?residential environment of each district and each season?day?time zone?arrest status of theft?violent crime materials (Year 9-13). In addition, it derived crime characteristics by analyzing zones of each street system and the main purpose of buildings, the Type I and 2 Neighbourhood Living Facility and locations of licensed liquor sales facilities, and vacancy and crime occurrence status.

As a result, the resident population of the S-1 zone, the oldest among the three districts is steadily reducing with the highest percentage of the elderly aged 60 and over. Since the residential buildings were built in the early 1990s, the interior and exterior space regions are divided by fences and outdoor stairs, and there is no means to control the access of visitors in the upper residential areas. Because the Type II Neighbourhood Living Facility was permitted, the rate of non-residential facilities was the highest at 14.8% compared to other districts and the rate of vacancy was high at 190 units. The status of crime occurrence showed that the annual average crime cases were 191 cases which were 3.6 - 10.0 times higher than other districts. And the rate of theft occurrence was slightly high in summer and the rate of violence occurrence was slightly high in fall. The rate of crime occurrence was high on Fridays and nights?early mornings. Whereas the arrest rate was high at 81.4% for violent crimes, it was low at 31.9% for theft crimes. The rate of crime occurrence was high in the zone where pass-through traffic took place and neighborhood living facilities were concentrated. While 46.9% of all violent crimes occurred in the buildings located in the Type II Neighbourhood Living Facility and adjacent streets, 35.6% occurred near vacancies.
The S-2 district is a residential area built in the mid-1990s. Its population per household was 1.2 persons, and the population rate was the highest at 20- to 39-year-old which was analyzed that the rate of a single-person household at 20’s and 30’s was high. The type of buildings was a mixture of the general type (house types with side staircase and with central staircase) and the piling type (an open all-round type and a partially open type) and the Type II Neighborhood Living Facility were permitted. And non-residential facilities were spread in the buildings adjacent to collector roads where pass-through traffic took place and housing inside the blocks connected to the local roads. As the share of Rest I (restaurants) and Rest II (liquor sales facilities) among neighboring living facilities were high, there was much entry of visitors’ vehicles and parking in the street. Many numbers of the floating population created noise and bad smell which caused residents to experience difficulties in life and to fear crimes. While the average number of crimes per year was about 53 cases, the rate of theft crimes was high in winter, on Wednesdays and at nights, and the rate of violent crimes was high in fall, on Fridays, and in the early mornings. And the arrest rate of violent crime was 74.1%, and the arrest rate of theft crimes was 26.7% which presented that the arrest rate of theft crimes was low. The occurrence of crimes was concentrated in areas where pass-through traffic was heavy and liquor sales facilities were concentrated. And 41.9% of violent crimes occurred in the areas where the Type II Neighborhood Living Facility was located.
The development of the S-3 district was completed since the mid-2000s. Its population per household was 1.5 persons and there was a large population of infants and youth at 0- to 19-year-old. The Type I Neighborhood Living Facility was only allowed to locate inside the blocks, and the rate of welfare facilities was the highest. The average crime occurrence per year was approximately 19 cases; the cases were reduced to less than 10 cases since 2013. And while the rate of theft crime occurrence was high in fall, on Fridays, and in early mornings, the rate of violent crime occurrence was high in summer, on Wednesdays, and in early mornings. The crime rate per zone was 62.6% of all crimes which occurred inside the zone.
As an overall analysis of three districts, there are differences in a population composition by age, a number of through highways, the width of local roads (street environments), building types, a number of available parking spots, the permission status of Type I and 2 Neighborhood Living Facility, detailed use and locations, and a number of vacancy.

In order to promote future urban planning and CPTED, residents shall share information on the status and prevention of crime occurrence and establish a close network with local experts, public institutions, and research institutes to prepare countermeasures that match conditions of each area. As the crime rate is high in the section where pass-through traffic takes place, a method of controlling pass-through traffic is required. And there is a difference in the rate of theft crime occurrence depending on building types, differentiated crime prevention shall be designed. Districts with the high crime rate in the Type II Neighborhood Living Facility need controlling measures by changing district unit planning and designate as a special management district after the council of residents and local networks examine. As the vacancy rate in the decrepit district is high, and the crime rate near the vacancy is high, the owners of the buildings and the residents should seek ways to manage through agreement formation. In addition, in order to promote the project, it is necessary to prepare a plan to create a synergy effect of crime prevention in connection with city planning such as the maintenance business of small-scale houses and the New Deal project of urban regeneration that are currently being implemented.
