초록

This study aims to examine the relationship between elderly residents use of public areas and their fear of crime in public rental housing,and to propose environmental improvement strategies. Field surveys, questionnaires, and interviews were conducted in two housing complexeswith a high proportion of elderly residents in a small city. The results showed that deteriorated pedestrian environments, poor entrancecontrol, low lighting, and surveillance blind spots reduced access to public areas, limited social interaction, and heightened fear of crime. Pedestrian paths, playgrounds, and pavilions were identified as key fear-inducing spaces due to outsider access and neglect. Based on thesefindings, this study proposes measures such as enhanced natural surveillance, territorial reinforcement, barrier-free design, improved facilitylegibility, and better maintenance. The findings emphasize the need for crime prevention environmental planning that reflects the psychologicaland behavioral characteristics of elderly residents and provide foundational insights for improving the safety and usability of public areas inaging communities.
