对犯罪的恐惧可能会限制人们？城市绿色空间的使用，从而减少这些空间？潜在的公共卫生效益。因此，有必要在公共绿色空间采取管理措施，提高安全感。然而，北欧国家的公园管理似乎缺乏对公园使用者进行评估的知识和实践。安全感。本文的目的是开发一个地方敏感的工具，公园安全？管理实践，结合公园管理者和用户的角度适应北欧的情况。为实现这一目标，在奥斯陆进行了两项实证研究。第一阶段包括一个焦点小组采访了一组市政绿地管理人员，以调查他们在安全相关工作中面临的挑战。在第二阶段的多方法进行实地研究，在城市公园，以评估女性用户？在一个地方敏感的方式和测试方法的安全观念，包括在管理人员的工具。首先，安全散步和采访了10名女性居民提供了现场信息，他们当地的公园是如何被认为在安全方面。散步还导致确定有问题的地方。这些地方，然后系统地评估了20名女性非居民使用问卷调查，探索感知的环境属性和感知的安全之间的关系。根据绿地管理者的说法？经验和解决的需要，以及从实地研究，一个地方敏感的方法和配套工具的经验？所谓的安全？提出了一种基于管理目的的城市公园感知安全评价方法。
Fear of crime may restrict people?s use of urban green spaces and thus decrease those spaces? potential public health benefits. Managerial measures in public green spaces that enhance perceived safety are therefore necessary. However, park managemnet in the Nordic countries seems to lack the knowledge and practice of assessing park users? perceptions of safety. The objective of this paper was to develop a place-sensitive tool for park safety?management practice that combined park manager and user perspectives adapted to the Nordic context. Two empirical studies were conducted in Oslo to achieve this objective. Phase 1 included a focus-group interview with a team of municipal green-space managers to investigate challenges in their safety-related work. In phase 2 a multi-method field study was conducted in an urban park to assess female user?s perceptions of safety in a place-sensitive manner and test methods to be included in a tool for managers. First, safety walks and interviews with ten female residents provided on-site information on how their local park was perceived in terms of safety. The walks also resulted in identification of problematic places. These places were then systematically assessed by twenty female non-residents using questionnaires exploring the relation between perceived environmental attributes and perceived safety. Based on the green-space managers? experiences and addressed needs, as well as experinces from the field study, a place-sensitive method and accompanying tool?called SAFE?for assessing perceived safety in urban parks for managerial purposes is presented.
