Abstract
In response to residents' fear of crime, local municipalities implement various crime prevention measures to increase surveillance in public spaces. However, since collaboration between each measure is insufficient, the geographical distribution of surveillance is often inefficient. In this study, we measured the increasing surveillance efforts of numerous subjects in Tsukuba city center, evaluating them by superimposing the geographical distribution of residents' fear of crime. Results revealed the geographical relationship between surveillance and the fear of crime. Based on the characteristics of each surveillance subject, we displayed improvement plans to secure more effective and efficient surveillance through re-distribution.
