Supplemental safety? Exploring experienced safety in relation to other qualities of successful public spaces
Combining insights from the urban design and criminological literature, this paper explores the degree to which conviviality, feeling welcome, and feeling at home are related to peoples’ experiences of safety. A questionnaire was distributed on four squares in the city of Utrecht, the Netherlands. While participants valued the positive qualities of the squares differently, feeling safe was connected to a wider, positive evaluation of the quality of space and especially to feeling at home. By investing primarily in public spaces that are ‘homely’ or ‘domesticated’, a ‘supplemental safety’ might therefore be nurtured. This poses important insights for safety management.
