Objective: The rapid growth of urbanization in recent decades in Iran has led to massive residential complexes in cities. On the one hand, residential complexes provide more and better facilities for residents, and on the other hand, as long as their private space and personal life are not affected, they prefer collective life to individual life.
Environmental security is a crucial factor in improving the quality of life in residential complexes.
CPTED (Crime Prevention through Environmental Design) strategies emphasize environmental design to increase feelings of safety and reduce crime in urban environments.
The current research was conducted to measure the level of security in the Sugarcane Industry residential complex in Ahvaz.
Method: This qualitative research combined descriptive-analytical, survey and case study approaches. The theoretical framework of this research was established by studying reliable collected library sources. Data collection instruments included questionnaires, narrative interviews and field surveys by researchers. A questionnaire was administered to one hundred and twenty-four residents of this housing complex.
Results: The questionnaire was developed based on the extraction of the principles and indicators of CPTED strategies (surveillance, territorialism, access control, activity support and fear of crime, environmental management and maintenance, and physical security). Data were analyzed using SPSS21 software, one-sample t-test and Pearson's correlation coefficient.
conclusions: The results showed that surveillance, activity support and fear of crime, environmental management and maintenance, and access control are essential security factors in the sugarcane industry housing complex in Ahvaz. There is also a significant relationship between these factors which directly affect each other. |
