abstract = "The initial hypothesis in exploring the safety of public urban spaces relates to defining a personal sense of security and the assumption that preventive measures implemented in the urban planning and design phase can contribute to more comfortable use of space. It is obvious that the basis of fear lies in fear of other people, whose behavior is violent or otherwise does not meet established social standards. Fear of urban structure can be reduced to fear of possible risky activities and incidents and possibilities to occur exactly where the environment provides an opportunity with its character (neglected, isolated or dark spaces). Preventive measures can be applied through reconstruction and adaptation to influential factors, as well as in the planning phase of new urban spaces, by applying standards and normative. In this way, with little additional investment, a large benefit can be achieved, which is registered in more intensive use of public urban spaces, as well as surrounding amenities, and results in customer satisfaction, increased mobility, a sense of higher level of security and community affiliation. These measures are less 'intrusive'' and far more pleasant than institutionalized control over space, through law enforcement supervision (uniformed officers and video cameras). Security cameras installed on high-standard private residential buildings, in shopping malls or in public transport, have become a daily occurrence. Their role is to protect property and life, to prevent vandalism, but also in the case of committing a crime, to help in identification the perpetrator. In some European cities, video surveillance using CCTV and DVR technology, has been implemented in all frequent public places, so the average citizen, during regular daily activities, is recorded up to 300 times. However, experience suggests that despite specialized cameras in a network operated by local police (without taking into account all other cameras installed on commercial buildings), solves less than 20% of criminal offences. In addition, we should mention the continuing controversies that are being waged in public regarding the protection of citizens' privacy, which is seriously compromised by this number of cameras in public spaces.",
