Abstract

The aim of this study is to specifically understand the characteristics of the crime by empirical analysis for the determining factors that affect determining the crime through the space syntax in Busan. In this study, poisson regression and negative binomial regression were used for accurate analysis. 8 variables that were significant of the total 13 variables. The summary if this study based on the results is as follow. Statistically significant variables are female ratio, over 65 population ratio, administration are and commercial area ratio in characteristics. And the more CCTVs a region has, the lower crime rate it shows. As a results of examing whether space syntax variables can predict crime occurrence places. Space with low connectivity come to be a crime causal factor because they have few other related spaces and thereby have low possibility of sudden appearance of interrupters, which results in low surveillance levels of foot passengers. It will provide the basic data that can contribute to urban planning and implementation of crime prevention aspects.

본 연구는 부산광역시를 대상으로 범죄발생에 영향을 미치는 요인 특히, 공간구문론에 의한 영향을 분석한 실증적 연구이다. 정확한 분석을 위해 본 연구에서는 가산자료 분석의 대표적 방법인 포아송 회귀분석과 음이항 회귀분석을 활용하여 분석을 수행하였다. 5대 범죄발생에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 총 13개 변수 중 8개 변수가 유의하게 나타났다. 인구학적 특성변수에서는 여성인구비율, 65세 노인인구 비율이, 토지이용 특성변수에서는 행정구역면적과 상업지면적비가 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 범죄대응 특성변수인 CCTV는 그 수가 증가할수록 범죄발생은 감소한다고 나타났다. 공간구문 특성변수에서는 연결도, 국부통합도, 전체통합도가 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 그 중에서 연결도는 그 수치가 낮을수록 연결된 다른 공간이 적기 때문에 갑작스런 방해자의 출현 가능성이 낮고, 통행인에 의한 감시도가 낮아져 범죄발생 요인이 되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석들을 통해 본 연구는 차후 범죄예방적 측면의 도시계획 입안 및 실천에 기여할 수 있는 기초적 자료를 제공하고자 한다.
