Abstract Details

2020, Master of Arts, University of Toledo, Geography.
For several decades, urban crime has been a major problem for cities around the world. There is much debate about whether the amount of vegetation in an urban area leads to more or less crime. When studying this matter, geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing play an important role in the analysis of this relationship. This research draws from analytical methods found in contemporary literature as a means to discover a relationship between crime and vegetation in Toledo, Ohio. Socioeconomic factors are another aspect in this analysis, because vegetation is not the sole predictor of crime. The research furthers the understanding of the need for community initiatives to lower the impact of urban crime by highlighting a local neighborhood-based organization, the Cherry Street Legacy Project, which incorporates Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles into its work.
