| Summary: | Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a ways to prevent crime from happen by manipulating the built environment through effective design. The research aims to investigate the level of CPTED implementation by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (KLCH). The Safe City Program that was introduced in 2004 by the Malaysian Government and CPTED is partially one of the strategies that have been adopted in the program. The issues investigated are the worsening of urban crime rate as reflected in the crime index that rose significantly from year 1980 to the year 2007. Rising of crime index for past six years in Kuala Lumpur is questionable whether CPTED has been successfully carried out by the KLCH. The study was conducted among the professionals and technical staffs that are the so called implementers of KLCH as they are the core person in implementing CPTED. |
