Both society and physical elements are parts of a successful defensible space. Crime can be controlled and mitigated through environmental design. Well-designed and maintained places facilitate community members meeting and socializing in public places, enhance social capital and increase the likelihood of people feeling safe and secure. The key to safer places is to improve the quality of the environment, minimize the opportunity for crime and promote accessible and livable places that encourage a feeling of safety and community participation. 1.LIGHTING: Lighting plays a very important role in situational awareness It increases safety and aids in geographic orientation. It helps clarify the layout of the spaces by emphasizing walkways, focal points, gathering places and building entrances Artificial lighting of public spaces and routes used at night can improve safety and surveillance and increase usage. Adequate and appropriate lighting on streets and roads facilitates mobility and creates a sense of security to the citizens hence making communities safe and livable. Street lighting is essential for mitigating the pedestrian's sense of isolation and reducing Figure 4:10: Samples for signage URBAN REVITALIZATION APPROACH FOR THE BANKE BIHARI TEMPLE PRECINCTS, VRINDAVAN - A TOURIST BASED INITIATIVE RADHIKA NAGPAL 17025520014 |MURP 4TH SEM, HINDU SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE 114 the risk of crime. 2. PAVEMENT AND STREET DESIGN: Streets are the primary means of accessing urban facilities and centers of activity. For this reason, it is vital for streetscapes to be designed for the safety of all users, especially children, elderly and the differently-abled. Shaded pathways with high visibility from road that offer seating for rest stops encourage walking. The paving and ground surface materials should form a consistent palette that creates a clear, coherent public domain structure, and provides a unified recognizable character to reinforce open space and streetscape hierarchies. ensure constant height above road level. 3. ACTIVITY: Crime at public places can be deterred by attracting eyes on the street'. In the presence of a multitude of users, a form of self-securitization is created where people keep an eye on each other and on potential cases of law-breakers. Various kiosks or help-desks can be placed at regular intervals. Public spaces should be provided with well-placed seating, good shade, interesting views, drinking fountains, public information and public toilets to encourage people to use and enjoy such spaces. Parking lots can be designed along with other uses which are filled with a multiplicity of users, easily accessible, and have a variety of ongoing activities through the day so as to create sense of security for women users. 4. UNHINDERED SIGHT-LINES: Visibility is an important factor in enhancing the users' feelings of comfort and security. The ability to see into and out of an area is referred to as visual permeability. Clear sightlines allow users to verify the presence of persons in a public space which otherwise they might find threatening, this also improves the perceptions of safety as people can see ahead and around them, and other people within visible range. In parking lots landscaping must be allow clear sightlines and avoid potential hide-out spots. Planting and topography should not block views of paths and open spaces from surrounding streets and houses. 5. SURVEILLANCE: The essence of the eyes on the street approach to planning and design is; to increase the opportunities for informal surveillance reduce the number of isolated places where crime can take place unseen. If public places are overlooked from adjoining buildings, (for example, windows overlooking footpaths, and building entrances facing the street); users feel safer and potential offenders feel exposed.

Automated surveillance such as CCTV cameras provide indirect continuous surveillance. 6. ACCESS TO EMERGENCY ASSISSTANCE: Having access to emergency assistance at public spaces is a must. An important active security tool that can easily be installed are POLICE ASSISSTANCE BOOTHS. A related technology that serves a similar function is the panic button, which can be pressed by a commuter if he or she is threatened. It immediately sets of an alarm sound, and security personnel are directed to the spot where the emergency is taking place. These can be installed in parking lots and bus stops. 7. PUBLIC TOILETS: The glaring lack of public toilets for women is a strong indicator of the state of services in the city. Public spaces must be provided with well-designed male and female public toilets in highly visible and accessible locations so as to promote their use and enhance people's perception of safety. Public toilets should be located adjacent to high traffic areas rather than in isolated areas and their entrances should be clearly visible. These can strategically be located on commercial streets and near transit stops 8. STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT: Creating safer cities for all needs to be put firmly on the agenda of a wide range of stakeholders including local and national governments, service providers, women' organizations, NGOs, the police and law enforcement agencies, educational institutions, elected representatives, citizens' groups and community organizations. It is the responsibility of every citizen to promote social cohesion and a culture of prevention where the community and citizens are the key agents of change while local governments act as enablers and facilitators. Clarifying ownership' of private and public space is important for improving public safety. Unclaimed public space lands can easily become the focus of anti-social and criminal behavior.
