“…Based on an architectural philosophy that aims to prevent criminal or anti-social behavior through the climate, CPTED primarily focused on natural surveillance, access control, and territorial reinforcement [ 35 ], considering four main mechanisms: space design, space use, circulation and circulation patterns, and territorial characteristics and space deterioration. The benefits of CPTED in reducing the incidence of BP and school violence have been largely demonstrated (e.g., [ 32 , 36 ]). When analyzing the associations between the physical attributes of schools and violence-related behaviors, Vagi et al [ 32 ], found an association between better scores on the CPTED and a lesser probability of students missing school due to safety issues.…”

As a reflection of the culture and norms of the school community, the school climate (SC) is a potential factor connected to students’ major behavior problems (BP). Parental involvement (PI) is considered as an essential factor for SC, contributing to promote good students’ educational results, as well as better social functioning. The present study aimed to analyze the mediating effect of PI on the relationship between SC and BP, taking into consideration the school personnel perceptions. A total of 329 school personnel (teachers versus no teachers) aged between 29 and 66 (M = 50.78, SD = 7.56), mainly female (79%), were integrated in the sample. Based on the perception of the school personnel, the results indicate moderate level of PI and SC, as well as the existence of different BP in the school context. The mediating effect of PI in the relationship between the SC and BP has been demonstrated. These results suggest that, if the SC and PI are improved, it could be an effective strategy to enhance the social functioning of students in the school context. This study thus contributes to a comprehensive empirical analysis of how PI can improve the relationship between the SC and the BP of Portuguese students.

“…Wang y Degol (2016) identificaron en su revisión teórica con 327 fuentes bibliográficas que el clima escolar se puede englobar en cuatro dimensiones: a) clima académico, b) comunidad, c) seguridad y d) ambiente institucional, lo que corrobora la multidimensionalidad del constructo. Por su parte, Kutsyuruba, Klinger y Hussain (2015) también analizaron la multidimensionalidad del clima escolar y propusieron tres grandes áreas: A) social, B) académica y C) física, las cuales abarcan las dimensiones y dominios propuestos por otros autores (Benbenishty, Astor, Roziner & Wrabel, 2016;Lamoreaux & Sulkowski, 2020;Wang & Degol, 2016), como se puede apreciar en la descripción que se hace a continuación:…”

Algunos estudios (Lamoreaux & Sulkowski, 2020;Kutsyuruba et al, 2015) han reconocido que las condiciones de infraestructura y el mobiliario de la escuela e incluso del salón de clase, pueden influir en la calidad del ambiente escolar.…”

El objetivo del estudio fue analizar las características psicométricas de una escala para medir clima escolar en estudiantes universitarios. Se elaboró un instrumento de auto reporte con 61 reactivos de las áreas social, escolar y física del clima escolar contenidas en las dimensiones: clima académico, comunidad, seguridad y entorno institucional. Participaron 329 estudiantes universitarios (69% mujeres y 31% hombres) con una edad promedio de 21.58 años, quienes de forma voluntaria accedieron a responder el cuestionario en línea. La muestra se dividió aleatoriamente en dos submuestras, 159 participantes para el análisis factorial exploratorio y 170 participantes para el análisis factorial confirmatorio. Se obtuvo un modelo con seis factores y el instrumento final se compuso de 21 reactivos con un valor de consistencia interna α = .858. Esta escala es útil para medir clima escolar y tomar decisiones que impacten positivamente en los jóvenes universitarios.

“…The CPTED concept mainly affects external threats. Among the general principles of the CPTED concept, which are most relevant to school design, can be included: Territoriality, Natural Surveillance, Natural access control, and Maintenance (Image/Space management) [27,28]. The following table shows the elements of the individual CPTED principles, which were qualitatively evaluated on a selected object [10,27,29,30,31,32].…”

In recent years, there has been an increasing emphasis on urban planning, which helps cities to adapt to new challenges. Sustainability of cities is one of the basic requirements for local and regional planning, especially from an environmental point of view. One of the many challenges for cities is the safety of citizens and reducing crime in cities. It is important to realize that the environment and urban development can have an impact on the safety of citizens and the development of crime in cities. One of the best-known concepts that uses space modification to reduce crime is the concept of CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental design). It is based on the simple idea that crime is the result of opportunity, and by changing the physical environment, a reduced incidence of crime can be achieved. The article will describe the theoretical framework of the CPTED concept, the characteristics of its principles and the elements it contains. The aim of the article is to assess the general principles of crime prevention using environmental design, and their elements, which are applied on the campus of the University of Žilina in Žilina. Subsequently, possible shortcomings of the concept for the selected case study will be evaluated and new solutions will be proposed. The results of the article will be intended primarily for designers and architects who are responsible for maintaining a safe and friendly environment on the university campus.
