| Summary: | A sense of security against criminal acts is fundamental for every human being.
Crime is closely related to the spatial aspect (Kakamu, 2008; Dwidinata, 2018;
Aksoy, 2017). Aspects of spatial understanding and exposure to crime are
urgently needed to analyze the crime phenomenon in urban areas so that
appropriate policies and programs can be determined related to crime prevention
in each place. Makassar City is one of the cities with a high crime rate in
Indonesia. Studies on crime patterns in Makassar City still need to be more
extensive. Therefore, this study aims to reveal patterns of crime in Makassar City.
This research is descriptive-explanatory with a concurrent approach or a mixture
of qualitative and quantitative approaches. The data used in this research is
secondary data collected through literature studies, agency data collection, and
data scraping via Google Chrome. The pattern of crime is reviewed from the
distribution, time of occurrence, and factors that significantly influence crime.
The criminal acts considered in this study include theft by force, theft by
weighting, ordinary theft, murder, threats, assault, beatings, theft of sharp
weapons, and immoral acts. The factors studied included population density,
building density, slum areas, presence of police posts, presence of bars, the
proportion of young people, population isolation, religious heterogeneity, divorce
rate, the proportion of activations, road connectivity, road integration, and
spatial visibility. The methods used in this research include literature study,
spatial analysis, spatial regression analysis, and hotspot analysis. This study
found that Makassar City is more prone to crime at night and is dominant in
public spaces. Most crimes occurred in the southern and western parts of
Makassar City, with cases of abuse and theft. This study also found several spatial
factors significantly influencing crime in Makassar City. |
