Urban Securipedia provides the background understanding on subjects that are directly or indirectly related to security for the urban planner. This Knowledge Base has been formulated with regard to the composition of the Urban Environment, which includes Urban Objects (with functions such as Mobility, Economy, Social and Safety etc.), Legal and Ethical Aspects, and urban threats (means and motives). The Knowledge Base explains the relationships between the concepts, relevant to security assessment, for urban planners. For more information about the topics contained in the knowledge base, see structure of the knowledge base.

The Knowledge Base has been purposely designed to be user-friendly and intuitive; it does not provide specific advice about a project but simply provides advice about what subjects to address in the process, and how one can address these subjects.

Securipedia Knowledge Base Primary Output:

• The source of information on security issues highlighted by the Risk Assessment (with links to relevant pages in the Knowledge Base);

• A wider repository of information on subjects that are relevant to both the urban planning process and security;

• Links to outside sources where relevant information can be found that is beyond the level of detail that the Knowledge Base aims for.
