3.4 ‘PUBLIC SAFETY’ IN URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING ASPECTS

In the role of urban and regional planning, public safety means the prevention of planning from danger and improvement of the urban ambiance (environment) to be safe to public. Public safety involved the public spaces (main targets for crime and incivilities and are where fear of crime is strongest). So how can we create a safer environment and reduce the fear of crime among our community??

Should these spaces be privatized, closed or renewed that relates to planning and development.

To ensure the safety among community in Urban and Regional Planning aspects, the environment and Urban Design have to be looked in details such as :

• Create a master plan incorporating existing efforts (Green Median) + new initiatives (Pedestrian Pockets) to ensure the balance of development with the environment that give effects to public.
• Develop plans + strategies towards illegal signs + trash
• Inspect street lighting on main thoroughfares regularly to be one of public facilities.
• The cooperation of private and government to making plans and actions with the future development in country.
• The detail study about any development plan area to ensure the weakness and strongest of each area.
