장애 교육시설 현장조사를 통한 범죄예방 환경설계요소 실태분석

Principles of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) for educational facilities are fairly defined in academia and practice, but relatively little is known about the adaptation and evaluation of CPTED targeted at the disabled students. From the perspective of CPTED, this study aims to provide basic and practical knowledge on educational facilities for the disabled students by conducting field evaluation and statistical analysis on the difference between special schools and special classes. The results from field evaluation on 20 educational facilities (9 special schools and 11 special classes) in Korea reveal that anti-crime conditions in special schools are normally better than those in special classes. The statistical significance of anti-crime conditions between special schools and special classes was found in wall (school edge), secluded dead space (outside building), and restroom (inside building), whereas the statistical significance was not found in other spaces. Therefore, priority consideration on such spaces will be given to the adaptation of CPTED principles on special classes.
