碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 都市計劃研究所 === 98 === Because of the influence from mass media, people have steadily increased their subjective feelings on worsening social security. In recent years, the studies of criminology reveal the discussion on crime hot spots. The discussion indicates crime scenes have clustering phenomenon. However, people’s fears on social security do not just result from crimes themselves. Measures of prevention at crime hot spots are not effective enough to change people’s feelings on social security. Moreover, when people have worsening feelings on social security, this may cause more difficulties on social security problems. Therefore, this thesis focuses on drawing a social security concerned map which people have misgivings on social security. It is expected to improve people’s feelings on worsening social security. This thesis discusses the correlation between social security concerned map and urban space. To draw this social security concerned map, this thesis adopts the data released by Taipei City Police Department in the year of 2009 on the places where people have misgivings on social security. This map delimits every location in order into five ranges, 20m, 50m, 100m, 150m, and 200m to grade them. The differences in between are that crime hot spots are the places where crimes may easily happen or have happened, and social security concerned map covers the places where criminal cases may easily happen and where people worry about their living environment. This study finds out five main types of locations where have social security concerned, including 1) businesses with special items, 2) areas neighboring school, 3) areas neighboring parks, 4) residential areas neighboring business areas, and 5) crossroads. Most parks and areas neighboring schools exist independently. Although these two types of locations may easily cause people’s misgivings about social security, the spread and changes of these locations are not easy. Although misgivings on social security belong to the problems of personal consciousness, this study finds out the settlement of open space and the uses of land have very significant correlation with each other. It is necessary to set up enough open space in the neighborhood or community which can bring sense of security to residents while the density of population is increasing. Besides, people’s consciousness on worsening social security would not be improved just because of the location of police department’s offices.
