Relationship between Number of Crimes and Land Use

Concerning Burglary in Some Cities of Tokyo

Abstract

This paper aims to make sure how land use contributes to prevent burglary as is said in "Safer Places", a guidebook for crime prevention in UK. As a conclusion, it is suggested that properly mixed land use increases human activity and "eyes on the street" to prevent burglary and that detached houses are likely to experience it compared with flats per a household. Although there is a national guideline for secured flats and are schemes to spread them, it is still necessary to make such a guideline and schemes for detached houses and residential areas.
