Abstract
This research studies the relationship between land uses and infrastructure on residential
burglary. The objective was to assess which theory is better at explaining residential
burglary:
-the “awareness space,‿ which states that crime takes place at edges or along paths
on the way to work, school, or recreation, or
-the “activity support‿ concept of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design
(CPTED), which states that mixed uses and increased traffic in neighborhoods is
positive because it decreases the risk of burglary.
Design recommendations based on the findings of this research are discussed.
