Crime and Housing in Kuala Lumpur: Taman Melati terrace housing
Recently, Malaysia has adopted the Safe city program, which is focused towards creating violence and crime-free cities. To achieve this, it is important to address crimes and disorders in residential areas. So far studies identified that changes in the built environment and modifications in space design can impact residents' and offenders' perceptions of criminality. Various CPTED measures are employed to create defensible space. This paper examines the effect of physical design on the occurrences of crime in Taman Melati residential area of Kuala Lumpur City and tests the effects of the built environment on the possibility of crime reduction through physical planning measures.
