Winners of the Excellent Paper Award from the Korean CPTED Association.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Professor Kang Seok-jin's research team from the Department of Architecture, College of Engineering, Gyeongsang National University received the Excellent Presentation Paper Award in the general session paper presentation category at the 2022 Korea CPTED Society Spring Academic Conference held on the 20th at the Best Western Gangnam Hotel in Seoul.

The awarded research papers were master's student Park Seung-yeon's "Characteristics of Crime Prevention Architectural Standards and Analysis of Architects' Perceptions," master's student Kim Jae-il's "Analysis of Crime Safety Perceptions of Native Residents and Returnees in Rural Areas," and doctoral student Kang Jeong-min's "A Study on the Application of CPTED in Urban Regeneration Projects."

All these papers are interim results of the "3rd Year Research on CPTED Technology Development for Practical Application," supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea.

Park Seung-yeon focused on the reality that the crime prevention architectural standards announced in 2015 are not well applied in practice, identified institutional problems through keyword-centered analysis, and proposed practical improvement measures by analyzing survey data from architectural office employees.

Kim Jae-il paid attention to the phenomenon of population decline and increasing crime in rural areas with returnees, and identified the need for situational and environmental crime prevention measures desired by both native residents and returnees.

Kang Jeong-min analyzed the problems of urban regeneration project areas from the CPTED perspective by examining street characteristics, building characteristics, facility and space characteristics, and crime characteristics, and linked these with results from resident participation workshops to identify crime-vulnerable points and propose alternatives, receiving excellent evaluations.

Professor Kang Seok-jin, who supervised the research, said, "The characteristic of the awarded papers is that they focus on institutional, practical, and regional perspectives where research necessity is high," adding, "It is especially meaningful in that clues for spreading crime prevention design based on the Building Act were identified."
