How to Use the Concept Tool
This How-to-Use Guide explains the relationship between the two Concept level tool components:
- SecuRbAn Risk Assessment Tool;
- Urban Securipedia Knowledge Base.
The page is structured to provide a short description of the two tools, followed by a visual depiction of the interaction between the tools.
Components of the Concept Tool
Tool Component | Description |
---|---|
SecuRbAn, the Risk Assessment tool, is a supporting tool for doing a quick security scan to indicate where possible security issues may arise. It will facilitate the urban planner in making a quick assessment of the security issues that are most relevant to a project or scheme. | |
The Knowledge Base provides the background understanding on subjects that are directly or indirectly related to security for the urban planner. |
Relationship between Concept Tool components
Initial Set-Up Phase
1. Log into the Concept Tool.
2. Enter your name/ID of the specific analysis (it is recommended that you select a name/ID that is easy to recollect for future retrieval).
3. Enter the project description:
- Make it clear the extent of what is, and is not, included;
- Data sources, data revisions/versions being used (is this analysis a reiteration of an earlier analysis?);
- Describe any grouping of objects;
- Have any measures already been used in the project formulation to date?
SecuRbAn (and supporting Securipedia) Risk Assessment Phase
4. SecuRbAn will now take you through a sequence of questions to determine:
- [Please note: With each answer, you will have the opportunity to attach your own notes, comments, constraints or related observations etc.]
- [Please note: Throughout the questions, you will find links to the Securipedia Knowledge Base in order to get more knowledge on how to answer the specific question at hand.]
- [Please note: In circumstances where the question is too abstract, you will have the option of converting the question into a series of ‘sub-questions’ for easier response.]
- Determine the presence of attractive objects to certain crime types;
- Determine attributing circumstances;
- Determine existing protection measures.
5. With regard to the above questions session (4.), the questions which the SecuRbAn will ask will depend on the answers you provide to the previous round of questions. For example, if you identify through the first round of questions that there is a heightened attractiveness within the proposed scheme/development for breaking and entering by an offender, SecuRbAn will not ask you (in the next series of questions)...?
Output Phase
6. From the previous phase, the tool will output a list of security issues in two ways:
- Prioritised (sorted) list of relevant security issues to be addressed in the project
- This list will include links to Securipedia, traces to the answers that gave rise to the list, and user notes you inserted during the question phase;
- BEST FOR: A quick overview of the issues to be dealt with.
- A complete (sequential) lost of all possible security issues with a scoring indication of its possible relevance to the project.
- BEST FOR: A quick identification of the change between two risk assessments.
