“…In Columbia University in New York, Arizona State University and the University of Chicago, among others, he finds multiple tales of university redevelopment of lower income neighbourhoods with resultant displacement. Gentrification continues to be strongly associated with university estates strategies (Jolivet et al, 2022; Moos et al, 2019; Revington et al, 2023), but in the North American context its reach extends into the governance of many elements of everyday life (Sherman, 2022). For Baldwin: ‘Schools have become the dominant employers, real estate holders, health-care providers, and even policing agents in major cities across the country’ (p. 5).…”

This Progress Report reviews recent literature that rethinks the spatiality of the university. First, it discusses the growing body of work that identifies the agency of universities in producing and shaping urban space, including their role in contributing to social injustice in cities. Second, it reviews understandings of universities as sites of relational knowledge production, linking this to the proliferation of studies of student (im)mobility. Third, it considers how the university works to spatially sort and place bodies – students, staff and non-humans.

“…DepthmapX, a tool of Spatial Syntax theory, was used to analyze the OCE in Case L. Specifically, it is a software is dedicated to urban spatial analysis and contains three basic models, namely Axis model, Convex Space Analysis (CSA) model, and Visibility Graph Analysis (VGA) model [71], which can be used to calculate parameters such as integration, choice and visibility. The Axis model and VGA models were applied in this study to analyze the relevant parameters of the spatial configuration and spatial visibility of the OCE, mainly described as following.…”

“…Based on the topological properties of space, the theory provides a range of tools to analyze the linguistic characteristics of space, such as integration, configuration, user choice, and visibility, thus becoming an important tool for analyzing the relationship between spatial environmental design and criminal behavior. A small number of studies on campus security have been presented, such as Sherman SA's use of mobile geoinformation technology to explore the contribution that is made by university police in the outdoor environment security [71]. Regrettably, most of these studies above have focused on criminal behavior in urban public spaces, and some of the studies on school safety do not address purely the features of the OCE.…”

It is widely believed that outdoor environmental design contributes to outdoor violence prevention. To enhance the effectiveness of environmental design, the intrinsic link between the outdoor school violence distribution (OSVD) and the outdoor campus environment (OCE) should be fully considered. For this purpose, this study investigated boarding school L, located in southern Zhejiang Province of China, through a questionnaire and Spatial Syntax theory. Based on the questionnaire marker method (N = 338, 50.59% female), the OSVD was mapped using the kernel density estimation in ArcGIS, including four types of teacher-student conflict: verbal bullying, physical conflict, and external intrusion. The spatial analysis of the OCE (spatial configuration and spatial visibility) then was generated by the DepthmapX, involving four spatial attributes such as integration, mean depth, connectivity, and visibility connectivity. Statistical analysis results indicated the correlation between the OSVD and both the spatial configuration and spatial visibility of the OCE. For the different violence types, there were differences in the impact relationships, with integration being a significant predictor of teacher-student conflict and physical conflict (p < 0.01) and a general predictor of verbal bullying (p < 0.05), while mean depth was a significant predictor of physical conflict (p < 0.01), but not recommended as a predictor of external intrusion. This study explores and predicts the relationship between the OSVD and the OCE, providing guidance and evidence for school violence prevention environmental design. It is a novel attempt, but still challenging and requires more research to refine.
