Environmental design
Introduction
Environmental desigm refers to the process of addressing environmental parameters planning programs, policies or concepts.
Initiatives such as "Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design" have directly derived practical urban planning principles to limit the damage of terrorist attacks. These principles include:
- stand off distances, to keep people and bomber vehicles away from targets,
- laminated glass,
- framed structures,
- bombshelter areas etc.
Other CPTED inspired core issues that builders, architects and the housing associations should take into consideration throughout the planning process for designing buildings and public space are:[1]
- Orientation
- Good overview
- Visibility
- Lighting
- Accessibility
- Vibrant urban environment and multiple social functions
- Responsibility
- Avoiding conflicts
- Ensuring maintenance
For the success of the historical implementation of CPTED the following four factors occur together:
- Willingness of the participants to be part of a security partnership
- Integration of citizens in the planning process through communication and participation methods
- Decentralization and localization
- Commitment
