Abstract

The study is an analysis of the effectiveness of crime prevention and safety projects. An analysis was conducted on the impact of Daegu City's 'Single Household Safety Environment Creation Project' on the safety awareness and fear of crime among local residents, as well as its influence on the formation of community cohesion and expansion of territoriality among local residents. For this purpose, a survey was conducted targeting 200 local residents residing in the project's target area. The key findings are as follows: The first finding indicates that after the implementation of the safety environment creation project, local residents' safety awareness increased, and their fear of crime decreased. However, the second finding suggests that there were no significant changes observed in community cohesion and empowerment among local residents. While the applied safety environment creation project showed positive effects on residents' sense of safety and reduction of crime fear, it had limited impact on fostering community cohesion and participation. Based on these results, suggestions were made regarding the future direction of safety projects.
