This paper aims to show the crime occurrence factors based on the theory of “Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)” from a microscale environmental characteristics point of view. While macroscale environmental factors of crime occurrence have been the primary concern of existing research, sufficient discussion of microscale environmental factors has not been carried out yet. In this study, the authors obtained microscale environmental characteristic information through a detailed investigation of the case study areas in Itabashi ward, Tokyo.The correlation between the risk of bag snatching and microscale environmental characteristic is clarified through statistical analysis. Based on the results, the importance of keeping natural surveillance is proposed.
