범죄 예방 환경 설계를 위한 최적의 색채와 조명 수준의 탐색 연구

Abstract

Objective: This study explored the optimal level of color and light level for crime prevention environment design (CPTED) focusing on pedestrian emotions in night environment. Background: As a solution to reduce the crime that occupies the highest proportion of various social unrest factors, the crime prevention environment design (CPTED) technique is being used. Method: Color (21 levels) and light (3 levels) were selected as efficient design factors to reduce the fear of crime. Five pairs of emotional words related to 'fear of crime' were derived. We provided the nighttime alley environment composed of various combinations of color and light using the simulator. The participants answered the questionnaire composed of 7 points of Likert scale. Results: There was a difference in fear of crime according to color in all emotional lexical pairs. Also, in all emotional lexical pairs except one pair, female showed higher fear of crime than male. Conclusion: This study suggested the optimal combination of color and light in alley environment. Color (19), (20), and (21) showed low fear of crime in all light levels. Color (17) showed low fear of crime in Light (Blue). And color (18) showed low fear of crime in Light (Blue) and Light (Orange). In particular, color (8), (11), and (16) did not show low fear of crime, but they showed low fear of crime when it matched light (Blue). Application: From the point of view of integrating color and light in crime prevention environment design, the combination of color and light proposed in this study is highly recommended.
