Research on the Construction Method of Public Security Map based on Emergency Space Big Data

In view of the current problems encountered in public safety and emergency management, this study proposes a method for constructing a public safety map. Based on the public safety theory and the existing POI system, a method for constructing a public safety attribute index system is proposed, and a preliminary discussion is made on the collection mechanism of public safety attribute data and the operation mechanism of the public safety map. It is hoped to provide a universal and easy access to emergency space information for emergency management departments and rescue workers.

Significant education factors in creating local safety maps

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to focus on local safety map creation education activities for crime prevention and to quantitatively identify the relationships between the elements that determine the expected effects of local safety maps. Design/methodology/approach In order to clarify the effects following and the significant factors involved in creating local safety maps, questionnaire surveys were given to participants in map-creation activities held in Kitakyushu City, Japan. The results were analyzed with structural equation modeling. Findings The results showed that safety maps may improve an understanding of the characteristics of dangerous and safe places, but they may not enhance knowledge of places sufficiently for someone to ask for help if they are in danger or are likely to be a crime victim. Of the factors most important in both the creation and effectiveness of safety maps, intergenerational exchanges and communication rank the highest, as they relate to an understanding of safety and crime prevention, and to familiarity with the region. Practical implications In the future, we should establish a system and design for safety map creation in which intergenerational discussion and communication with various people, including university students, is possible. Originality/value Although the production of local safety maps has been said to improve participants’ abilities, it was unclear who gained abilities in the map-making process to the extent to which the participants could effectively produce the maps. This paper discovered the effects and the significant factors involved in map creation.
