Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 13
Abstract
To have a safe city to live in is the utmost prerogative of its community. Living in a city with criminals freely roaming is not an ideal of living condition. Thus, safe city programme was invented to overcome the fear living condition in many cities throughout the world. Similar condition applies in Kulaijaya, Malaysia where such a programme was implemented through crime prevention measures using environmental design approaches. To strengthen the programme, public awareness is adopted together with the encouragement to involve the city communities in the programme. In 2004, Kulaijaya has slowly started to implement the programme and it has significantly provided relief to the urban dwellers since the statistics on Kulaijaya’s crime index for the year of 2005-2009 shown an alarming rate. This paper is to investigate if the programme has shown the positive outcome gauging from the measures used within the programme and they are evaluated through perceptions by the community that were gathered via questionnaires. From the analysis, some of the measures used in the programme are not doing well enough in reducing crime as expected. Further refine on the measures used to suit particular city is required to fully ensure the safe city programme is workable programme in crime prevention.
