“…Such closed locations primarily attract possible criminal elements; here we can also include visual control of the street from the windows (the concept of "eyes upon the street" (Jacobs, 1961)) • Proper maintenance and care of the territory. Well-maintained, wellgroomed, comfortable spaces not only attract regular, "authorized" (Zen et al, 2014) users, but also repel others, in full accordance with the "theory of broken windows" Wilson-Kelling (Wilson & Kelling, 1982) and the policy of zero tolerance for any manifestations of deviant behavior (Krayushkina & Shagabutdinov, 2011) • Strengthening of the territory and organization of access control, i.e. implementation the principle of "locked gates".…”

“…Reliable fencing will prevent, on the one hand, unauthorized entry into the territory of unauthorized persons through uncontrolled entrances, breaks, manholes, looseness in the fences, and on the otherthe escape of children or, alternatively, just running out to the next roadway. Let's refer here the creation of passive access control points with the help of spatial design, which directs people along certain paths, thereby limiting their movement through the territory (Zen et al, 2014). Easily perceived boundaries create a sense of security, "territoriality" (Newman, 1972;Lynch, 2013), i.e.…”

The necessity of considering various factors in the process of improvement of the territory of preschool institutions (PI) is considered. There is an urgent need for an integrated approach, associated with the great importance of healthy and proper education of the growing generation. By authors it is established that the landscape organization of the territory of preschool institutions with a set of planning elements, subordinates to the general plan, despite the obvious appeal, can meet serious obstacles in the form of need of zoning of the site for groups of children of different age. Laying of the "an ecological track" playing an important role in the system of accumulation by each child of personal experience of the correct interaction with the nature can be the decision. By authors it is also shown that the correct planning of the territory of preschool institutions is impossible without competent solution of questions of gardening. It is one of the major moments in all a complex of actions for creation of the comfortable environment.

“…However, several attempts have been made to derive criteria that can enhance security and reduce crime in housing communities as discussed below. (Zen & Mohamad, 2014). The theory advocates the consensus between a homogeneous group of inhabitants in a specific urban context which includes a hierarchical system of open spaces, with the maximization of private and semi-private spaces on the account of public and semipublic ones.…”

The present study argues that the urban form of affordable housing projects affects safety and security. The study examines the level of safety and security in the Prince Fawaz project proposing recommendations that enhance it. Theories and approaches concerned with the environmental crime are initially reviewed. Then, urban and architectural features as well as crime rates and patterns are documented. Also, trace and behaviour observations are carried out. The observations monitored urban features and behaviours associated with crime or fear of crime. Residents’ perception for security and fear of crime is extracted through a questionnaire. A Space Syntax is processed and linked with the questionnaire and observation outputs. Observations demonstrate a semblance of fear of crime which is supported by records of car and home theft. Although the questionnaire reflects a suitable level of security, it points to peripheral spaces and areas around mosques and shops as the less secure. However, enhancing security in the Prince Fawaz project requires urban interventions including controlling access to peripheral spaces, reviving areas detected to be unsafe, repositioning elements causing visual obstacles and enhancing appearance by vegetation and sustainable maintenance. Besides, reformulating the movement network so that an appropriate integration between residents and strangers is achieved. On the conceptual level, the study proves that none of the theories of environmental crime can act as a comprehensive approach; but each can partly work.

“…Jenis kejahatan yang terjadi di setiap daerah tentu juga berbeda, lokasi yang berada di pusat kota tentu saja memiliki resiko kejahatan yang lebih tinggi (Glaeser & Sacerdote, 1999). Kejahatan juga banyak terjadi di perkotaan dengan lingkungan sosial yang miskin sehingga mendukung pelaku untuk melakukan kejahatan (Zen, Amalina, & Mohamad, 2014). Pada kota-kota besar, penyebab tindak kejahatan yang terjadi adalah tingginya tingkat urbanisasi ke kota tersebut.…”

The existence of Undip and Unika in Semarang become the main attraction for students who are outside Semarang. It can increase the activity around Undip and Unika areas. Nevertheless, there are some new things happening around the campus area, in September 2017, there were reports of loss of 34 motorcycles, 133 helmets and 1 rearview mirror in Undip. Meanwhile, Unika has a case of murder that killed a man outside the exit gate of Unika in 2014. Therefore to minimize the crime case it is necessary to "Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED)" in campus area, can improve students' sense of security on the two campuses. In this research, to achieve the result of design quality, the method of analysis used is descriptive quantitative method. Analytical technique used is Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and scoring using categorical given in the form of descriptive quantitative. Results of research that determine in Undip are in the sufficient category with 2,079 and the Unika category is in good category with a score of 2,378. These differences can be influenced by factors such as land area, contour, building density, area, number of students, and number of activities, which can cause facilities and policies to reduce crime and improve security at Undip and Unika.
