Abstract
Zwolle is becoming less criminal at a slower pace than other cities in the Netherlands. The Diezerstraat is the main commercial area of the city of Zwolle, where flows of people fluctuate per hour. Fluctuating flows of people have proven to be an important trigger for criminal activities and do mostly occur in commercial areas. The people using the area are the possible victims of these criminal activities. The Diezerstraat in Zwolle is an area used by large amounts of people. That is why it is important to investigate if the people in this street do feel safe. Besides, in existing literature, CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) has mainly been connected to objective safety, resulting in a knowledge gap regarding the connection of CPTED with subjective safety. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of CPTED measurements on the subjective safety of the pedestrians of the Diezerstraat in Zwolle. Pedestrians are the only allowed users of the Diezerstraat during opening times of the shops and therefore are the target audience of this study. Two methods of data collection are used in this research: observations and surveys. The observations are focused on analysing the environment of this study and are designed as a spatial analysis. Resulting from the spatial analysis, the Sassenstraat contains only a few of the CPTED measurements, while the Diezerstraat contains all of the CPTED measurements observed. The Sassenstraat can, therefore, be used as a control condition to measure influence. From the survey can be concluded that only the CPTED implementation camera surveillance has a positive influence on the subjective safety of pedestrians in the Diezerstraat. All other measurements do not significantly differ between the two streets, so are not of any influence. So, CPTED measurements barely influence the subjective safety of pedestrians in the Diezerstraat in Zwolle.
