대학교 기숙사의 범죄예방디자인 적용방안 연구

Abstract

The university dormitory is a place where students with different behavioral characteristics live together. Due to the limitation of access control along with the evacuation efficiency during catastrophes or disasters, various criminal problems have been steadily occurring. Indeed, various media report sexual crimes and thefts in university dormitories constantly, but optimal measures have not been found or established. Furthermore, few researches have been made regarding the measures. This study was conducted to identify problems and to compose a safe environment through the results of questionnaires and field investigation. Three national universities in provinces which have relatively high dormitory accommodation ratio were selected as the subjects of the study. Based on previous studies, items such as of the residents’ behavior, perception of crime, and the satisfaction and importance of living environment were derived. The survey results were analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 program such as frequency analysis and IPA analysis. On-site surveys were conducted on the first floor of the dormitory and surrounding environments with the cooperation of related parties. The results showed that there were mostly freshmen and sophomores in the dormitory, and there was difference in dormitory life patterns between weekdays and weekends. In the case of crime anxiety, there was a high level of anxiety such as night anxiety, and the crimes against objects such as and theft or vandalism. By space, there was a high level of anxiety perceived in public spaces such as pedestrian walkways and rooftops, stairs, and corridors. It is judged that this result is due to the combination of fact that the proper crime prevention design has not been applied to the dormitory, the environmental characteristics that the dormitory is located out of the center of the campus and the behavioral characteristics that the students who return home late at night after studying or spending time in leisure. On the other hand, the environmental characteristics of the dormitory were categorized into space plan, facility plan, and safety plan. In terms of space, the demand for expansion of bedroom and storage space was high, and in terms of facilities, the demand on overall improvement such as soundproofing, moisture proofing, heating and cooling, and insulation was high. It was found that improvements of various security facilities were suggested in terms of safety. In particular, subjects who live in the dormitories where sexual crimes have been found repeatedly showed very low level of satisfaction with crime prevention and they placed a high level of importance on the crime prevention. To summarize those results, it is needed to expand the space and facilities reflecting behavioral characteristics in order to enhance students’ satisfaction for the dormitory and to enforce communication and exchanges in the dormitory. In particular, it is necessary to actively reflect the elements of crime prevention design applied to apartments and multi-household houses to reduce crime anxiety and prevent crimes.
