Abstract

This study aimed to investigate related projects and safe housing cases and derive implications for the crime safety of Unmarried Single Women households. Analysis of the data collected revealed that the crime prevention building criteria and the Seoul single-person household support system had the highest application rates in public spaces, with 53.8% and 41.2%, respectively. However, the study also confirmed that residents of women's safe housing required architectural improvements for semi-private space (65.0%), rather than public space (35.0%). Furthermore, the study found that crime anxiety was particularly high in areas where territorial boundaries were unclear, such as semi-private and semi-public spaces. The limitations of the project that supports an unspecified number of people may contribute to this phenomenon. In addition, the study infers that it is necessary to implement crime prevention building criteria or introduce separate architectural elements related to crime prevention.
