APPROPRIATE UTILIZATION OF CPTED PRINCIPLES IN CITIES OF IRAN (CASE STUDY: SELECTED STREETS OF SHAHREKORD)

The use of CPTED principles in cities of Iran can lead to improved life quality and increased sense of security. From 1960s, different scholars have used these principles. These principles were taken into consideration when the levels of crime and number of societies were increasing. These solutions give the opportunity to city managers to control crimes with less cost, so that it minimizes direct intervention of security forces as well as complaints from residents. Shahrekord as a city surrounded by mountains can be a suitable sample to investigate these principles in different parts of the city. The main structure of this study consisted of descriptive and analytical method and determined options in previous studies. Comparing these streets and their qualities of interest shows that none of these areas has high quality in terms of CPTED principles and utilization of these principles in city management can improve the conditions. The results showed that some of streets had higher qualities, but these cases are not true for all parts and defined provisions.
