The Influence Of Social, Economical And Physical Environmental Factors On Crime Rates: A Case Study Of The Bosphorus Conservation Area, Istanbul, Turkey

Öz

This study aims to analyze the relation between personal and property crime and social, economical and physical environmental factors. Crime data was collected at neighborhood level in the coastal strip and fore front view area of the Bosphorus, Istanbul, Turkey. For the social and economical factors, data on population density, average land value, percentage of unemployment, percentage of population with primary school and under education, and percentage of large households were collected. For the physical environmental factors, data on building density, land use (percentage of residential, commercial, and public facilities buildings), physical detoriation (percentage of good quality buildings), percentage of buildings with water, sewage and natural gas were collected. In general, the findings provided evidence that (1) personal and property crimes are positively correlated, (2) the affect of physical environmental factors are more pronounced for property crimes than personal crimes, and (3) lower crime rates are observed in socially and economically disadvantageous neighborhoods. The possible explanations for each finding and how each finding could inform future research in this area are discussed.
