The Safe City: Conceptual Model Development - A Systematic Literature Review

Authors:

Abstract and Figures

In developing a smart city, it certainly has many aspects that must be met. One of these aspects is the aspect of security in the city which is usually called a safe city. The Safe City concept in Smart City provides a new way for the government to develop a city security system. "Safe city concept is one approach and as part of the live concept of the city focusing on the crime problem in urban areas" [1].In other words, Safe City is an idea in a community that uses technology to help governments, communities and businesses reduce the possibility of crime and provide an environment where people feel safe and comfortable. In developing the concept of a safe city, the government must first assess how safe the city is. General assessment of the level of city security in the world has been carried out by a leading company in Japan, NEC. In the security campaign conducted by NEC in 2017 [2], Indonesia has a relatively low-security value compared to other countries. The researchers assessed that the low value of city security in Indonesia is less relevant when viewed from the current state of the city. For this reason, the researchers collect other values that are owned by Indonesia and not owned by other countries to be used as an assessment material that Indonesia has a safe city. In the preparation of the literature review, this will produce a conceptual safe city model to provide a measure of city security assessment by the characteristics of cities in Indonesia.

1. Introduction
Cities are urban areas that have administrative status as small cities, big cities and metropolitan cities. The
government, as the city control holder, has an obligation to improve the city to be better in all fields. The concept of
developing the city is called Smart City. Smart City as "a place where traditional networks and services are made more
flexible, efficient and sustainable with the use of information technology, digital and telecommunications, to improve
their operations in the interests of their occupants" [3].
In developing a city into a smart city, many aspects must be met. One such aspect is security in the city. Threats to
public safety are important issues, threats from all forms of crimes that may occur to the public must be avoided. The
Smart City concept provides a new way for the government to provide security for all city residents. "Safe City is a
city, the integration of technology and natural environment increases the effectiveness of processes in the field of
safety, in order to reduce crime and terror threats, to allow its citizens life in a healthy environment and simple access
to healthcare, and to achieve a readiness and quick response to threatening or arose emergencies” [4]. Through the
commitment and efforts of others, cities, the environment, or business. To provide security, the government can use
the latest high technology that can be used to prevent, detect, investigate and reduce the impact of various security
incidents, including crime, riots, accidents, or natural disasters. In order to be able to apply the right technology,
careful planning and consolidation are needed to share the relevant parties.
Security campaigns in the world have been voiced in many countries. The security campaign carried out by NEC
in 2017 [2], Indonesia has a relatively low security value compared to other countries. The low value obtained by
Indonesia has the possibility that there are different aspects in each country but NEC generally evaluates cities in the
world with the same concept of valuation. In this research paper, the development of a valuation model for the city
security index in Indonesia is carried out using indicators that have been adapted to the needs of cities in Indonesia.
With the stages of preparing a safe city assessment tool, starting from collecting literature to arriving at the stage of
the device ready for use in the future. This paper will also provide safe city theory and how to choose indicators to
assess the security of a city that are in accordance with the characteristics of cities in Indonesia.
2. Literature search method
The literature search method used in this study is a search approach based on keywords to find relevant journals.
Determination of keywords is chosen based on the meaning associated with the Safe City concept. Some keywords
are used and interrelated, namely, "Safe City", "Safety City", "Resilience City". Searches are based on how well-
known journal portals are, (1) Science Direct, (2) IEEE, (3) Google Scholar. To identify the relevance of all article
findings, searches are carried out by identifying keywords in articles, abstracts and keyword lists. In search, the use
of quotation (") is given to give specialization. The output of these journals is checked manually to ensure that they
are within the scope of this literature review. All research is processed by researchers and reviewed to ensure relevance
and able to contribute to research in the field of Safe city. Article searches produce the findings described in Table 1
below.

From all search founded articles, a review of the contents of the journal was conducted. a review of the relevance
of the research needs carried out resulted in 19 papers selected for the literature review of this study. This amount
showed that research with the Safe City theme is still in its infancy, highlighting the potential for further contributions
to the genre of research that is quite important.
3. Analysis of development conceptual models of safe city
This section describes how to define the meaning of Safe City and the development of a Safe City valuation model.
The development is focused on the analysis of the prescribed literature to describe on how safe city assessment models
are developed by the literature.

3.2. Exploring the literature of safe city indicator assessment models
In order to be able to compare city data points, as well as to build aggregate scores for each city, the project team
must firstly create what data needs to be collected so that it can be compared. To do this, quantitative indicators are
normalized on a scale of 0-100 using the min-max calculation, where the calculation score is the standard deviation
of the average, with the best city scoring 100 points and the worst value 0. A number of indicator references have been
found to be reference main in compiling indicators.

3.2.1. NEC (2017) [2]
The indicator of Safe City's success in the city will be successful if the value of each unit shows a high number. In
this model the indicators are divided into 4 aspects: (1) Digital Security, (2) Health Security, (3) Infrastructure
Security, (4) Private security. The description of the model is illustrated in Fig. 1.

3.2.2. Master plan of Chandigarh City 2031[17]
The indicators planned to implement Safe City of Chandigarh city in 2031 are divided into 5 main aspects, namely:
(1) crime & violence, (2) road safety, (3) ownership security, (4) disaster resilience, (5) public health. The model
offered is adjusted to the circumstances and characteristics of Chandigarh city. The model is illustrated in Fig. 2.

3.2.3. Safety index of Johannesburg city [18]
In assessing the city's security index in the city of Johannesburg, the Johannesburg’s government developed the
Safe City theory in accordance with the context of the city of Johannesburg. In its development, safe city indicators
are divided into 5 aspects: (1) results of crime, violence and injury, (2) proximal risk, (3) distal/structural risk, (4)
environmental processes, (5) delivery service. The model is illustrated in Fig. 3.

4. Safe City conceptual model
This study aims to create a level of security measurement tool in the city. Several previous studies that discussed
“safe city measurement methods are still carried out in general for all cities in the world” [2].Whereas in the case of
cities in some countries, they have their own characteristics that cannot be equated. Especially in aspects of people's
daily habits in carrying out their activities. In this study, a safe city measurement model will be proposed that fits the
context in Indonesia. The development of the conceptual model is illustrated in Fig. 4.
Fig 4. Safe City conceptual model for Indonesia.
The conceptual model that has been formed, is compiled based on the reference dimensions model and related
indicators. City needs in Indonesia are seen from crime cases that often occur in Indonesia and/or have high volatility
values, the assessment tools are explained in each item in Table 3.

In assessing the city's security index in the city of Johannesburg, the Johannesburg’s government developed the
Safe City theory in accordance with the context of the city of Johannesburg. In its development, safe city indicators
are divided into 5 aspects: (1) results of crime, violence and injury, (2) proximal risk, (3) distal/structural risk, (4)
environmental processes, (5) delivery service. The model is illustrated in Fig. 3.

4. Safe City conceptual model
This study aims to create a level of security measurement tool in the city. Several previous studies that discussed
“safe city measurement methods are still carried out in general for all cities in the world” [2].Whereas in the case of
cities in some countries, they have their own characteristics that cannot be equated. Especially in aspects of people's
daily habits in carrying out their activities. In this study, a safe city measurement model will be proposed that fits the
context in Indonesia. The development of the conceptual model is illustrated in Fig. 4.
Fig 4. Safe City conceptual model for Indonesia.
The conceptual model that has been formed, is compiled based on the reference dimensions model and related
indicators. City needs in Indonesia are seen from crime cases that often occur in Indonesia and/or have high volatility
values, the assessment tools are explained in each item in Table 3.

5. Discussion
This study aims to make a city level security measure. Several previous studies that discussed “the safe city
measurement method is still carried out in general for all cities in the world” [2]. Whereas in the case of cities in
several countries they have their own characteristics that cannot be equal. Especially in aspects of people's daily habits
in carrying out their activities. In this study, a safe city measurement model will be proposed that fits the context in
Indonesia. Referring to the measurement of safe city in several indicators in other cities, this study proposes with
supporting indicators as follows
Effect of health availability on safe city
Effect of the use of the digital device of the
community towards safe city
The influence of public security on safe city
Effect of infrastructure on safe city
The influence of people's habits on safe city
6. Conclusion
This study provides a systematic review of literature on the theme Safe City. A number of related themes have been
discussed to strengthen knowledge about the conceptual essence of the proposed model. Summary of the main
observations that emerged from this literature review is the aspect of Safe City technology has been investigated in
several studies in the literature but in a matter of numbers is still fairly small and new. In reviewing 19 publications
on Safe City, it was observed that many did not rely on empirical data regarding cases. Studies generally seem to base
their results on simulations and in some cases, survey data. The critical idea to provide a model reinforcement of the
characteristics of cities in Indonesia is to know the problems and habits that might occur in the city. The concept and
practice of Safe City has the potential to realize the goal of establishing smart cities, namely, to provide comfort to its
residents.

The rapid population growth, insecure lifestyle, wastage of natural resources, indiscipline behavior of human beings, urgency in the medical field, security of patient information, agricultural-related problems, and automation requirements in industries are the reasons for invention of technologies. Smart cities aim to address these challenges through the integration of technology, data, and innovative practices. Building a smart city involves integrating advanced technologies and data-driven solutions to enhance urban living, improve resource efficiency, and create sustainable environments. This review presents five of the most critical technologies for smart and/or safe cities, addressing pertinent topics such as intelligent traffic management systems, information and communications technology, blockchain technology, re-identification, and the Internet of Things. The challenges, observations, and remarks of each technology in solving problems are discussed, and the dependency effects on the technologies’ performance are also explored. Especially deep learning models for various applications are analyzed. Different models performance, their dependency on dataset size, type, hyper-parameters, and the non-availability of labels or ground truth are discussed.
... One of the key aspects affecting the overall quality of life in cities is safety, which at the same time belongs to one of the basic needs of every human being. A safe city is one in which all residents have a sense of security, which stabilizes their lives and allows them to develop [23,24,25]. Among the cities studied, Białystok obtained the highest index value for this dimension, which was 0.853. ...

The article addresses the issue of quality of life in cities based on developed methodology. A multidimensional approach was adopted, namely 28 subindices characterizing seven dimensions affecting the quality of life in 18 provincial cities in Poland. The developed methodology consisted of two stages. In the first stage, using the indicators, the values of quality-of-life indices for the studied dimensions were determined. In the second stage, using these results, the values of the total quality-of-life indices in the studied cities were measured. Then, rankings for the cities in question were created. In addition, based on the values of the dimension indices and total indices, the levels of quality of life were determined. Relationships between parameters characterizing the sizes of studied cities and their wealth and the determined quality of life were also measured. The Gray Rational Analysis method was used for ranking, and three objective analytical methods were used to determine index weights: Equal weight, Entropy and CRITIC, and the Laplace’s criterion. The results indicate that living standards in the studied cities vary widely, both in terms of the value of the total index and the indices of individual dimensions. The best living conditions were found in Warsaw (the capital of Poland), Białystok and Olsztyn, and the worst in Kielce and Szczecin.
... The SCI is also unsuitable for Indonesian cities because it does not consider the defense geography perspective (Kapiarsa et al., 2020). Adapting the SCI or formulating a new index that suits Indonesian cities' characteristics is necessary to measure safety and security perception and incorporate it into the city branding evaluation and recommender system (Risdiana & Susanto, 2019). ...

This paper proposes a new model of urban security for city branding in Indonesia, which aims to address the gap in city branding indices lacking safety and security factors. The proposed model, the Urban Defense Index (UDI), measures a region’s ability to manage risks and handle security threats in urban areas. The UDI is calculated based on three sub-indices: Threats Disruptions- Obstacles- Challenges (TDOC), Posture, and Stability, which use objective and subjective measurements. A case study uses the proposed model to measure five Kalimantan cities’ urban defense readiness levels. The study found that Stability, Posture, and TDOC are essential factors in determining the level of urban defense readiness in the cities. Future research can address the limitations of the UDI model proposed in this study and expand the UDI model to include other factors that affect urban security.
... The smart cities concept, therefore, makes it possible to create safe cities that enable crime reduction through the integration of various technologies, in order to create a safe environment for residents to live in and achieve preparedness and rapid response to threats or emergencies that occur [40]. To ensure safety, city authorities can use the latest advanced technology, which should help prevent, detect, investigate and reduce the impact of various incidents, including crime, riots, accidents or natural disasters [87]. However, as Neumannová points out [88], technology alone (no matter how clever and well configured it may be) contributes only partially to reducing crime or preventing various dangerous events. ...

The concept of a smart city is based on the extensive multidimensional use of information and communication technologies to create the most favorable living conditions for residents and visitors. It is also important to create favorable conditions for economic activity while respecting the environment. One of the most important dimensions of this concept is security in the broadest sense, particularly that which concerns urban residents. This article addresses this subject by analyzing crime and determining the state of safety in 16 Polish provincial cities between 2013–2022. The measure of this state was chosen to be a set of indicators characterizing a number of registered criminal and economic offenses in the studied cities. On this basis, values of the indices of the dynamics of change for these offenses in individual cities in the analyzed period were determined. In the next stage, the number of offenses was compared to the number of residents of the cities under study and the indices of concentration for total offenses (LQT) and for individual types of offenses (LQn) were determined. Based on these results, the studied cities were divided into four concentration levels. Afterward, these results were used for a multi-criteria analysis of the safety of studied cities, which was carried out using the TOPSIS method. The calculated values of the safety index (Pi) formed the basis for creating a ranking and specifying security levels of studied cities. The results indicate a wide variation among the cities in terms of safety levels. Gdańsk, Bydgoszcz, Olsztyn and Zielona Góra were found to be the safest cities, while Szczecin was found to be the least safe. The methodology developed and the results obtained show the validity of conducting comparative research in areas relevant to the implementation of the smart cities concept. The knowledge gained can be used to build strategies and conduct policies with regard to improving safety in cities, especially those aspiring to be smart cities.

Background: Disasters resulting from global warming and climate change, whether caused by natural events beyond our control or anthropogenic factors, are occurring prominently and seriously, negatively impacting the environment and property, leading to significant and sometimes permanent damages. Urban open and green spaces, however, create spatial opportunities in disaster management, contributing to disaster resilience with post-disaster usage possibilities. Therefore, priority should be given to planning them, focusing on disaster resilience. Scope and approach: This research examines urban open and green areas in the 26 neighborhoods of the city center of Amasya, Türkiye, and introduces a Geographic Information System-based model to evaluate their post-disaster usability. In this context, they were initially grouped using Hierarchical Cluster Analysis, and the areas prioritized for post-disaster use were recognized by analyzing an indicator set consisting of 4 main and 21 sub-criteria weighted by experts. Key findings and conclusions: Clustering provided an effective means of evaluating zones for priority post-disaster use. Highlighting the significance of the indicator set in site selection, the appropriateness of the areas identified for post-disaster use has been criticized through the model. At the end of the study, it was observed that only 28.54% of the areas with determined safety indices fall within the scope of safe areas and are classified as Extremely Suitable (w8=0.883-0.943). Thus, determining the safety indices of open and green spaces in urban centers will help us understand whether the areas to be used for gathering, shelter, and recreation activities after a disaster are safe and suitable.

Purpose CPTED’s premise to the improvement of quality of life (QOL) is crime prevention and safety, and yet there is little concern for the impact of CPTED implementation to QOL when the crime increases after the interventions. Design/methodology/approach This study systematically analyzed articles both quantitatively and qualitatively. Findings This study found that the CPTED–QOL relationship discussion was highly inadequate in research. Improvement of QOL has been elevated to an unquestionable and certain truth of CPTED and yet the evidence on this is highly inconclusive. Originality/value This study is a contribution to the CPTED–QOL discussion that has been lacking.

Problem: In some historical periods in Iranian cities such as Tabriz, there is a physical response to the fears caused by wars and insecurity, which urban narratives are shown among the general public, especially people of age, such phenomena also exist in the mentality of the people. Target: The purpose of the current research is to investigate the state of the architectural elements of the historical city of Tabriz, such as alleys, fences, gates, neighborhoods, residential areas, etc., in the face of urban fears. Method: This research is of the research-fundamental theories type, and the interpretative-historical research method and the means of collecting information in the form of library, historical documents and texts and based on content analysis. Result: Findings show that in the past, the city was built using research studies such as gate, tower and barrow, fence, moat, narrow alleys and covered alleys, houses with short doors, lower outer and inner courtyards, etc. The level of the crossing in the three areas of territory, surveillance and the appearance of the environment gave a suitable answer to the concept of urban fear. In future researches, there is a need to examine each of the elements such as the house in more detail. [ Downloaded from udd.modares.ac.ir on 2023-12-04 ]

The review of gender components of the social-spatial content of the safe city of Kharkiv was carried out using GIS mapping on the “Secondary city” platform. The following tasks are proposed: firstly, in the light of the modern concepts of a safe city, to analyze the characteristics of urban areas with the use of feminist optics; secondly, to identify the main methods of geo-research of the safety component; thirdly, to develop gender-sensitive geo-information maps of Kharkiv through explication of the problem of urban infrastructure security. The theoretical basis of scientific research is logico-structural analysis, as well as geo-information methods of spatial analysis on the platform ArcGISOnline. The gendered context of urban space security is revealed. Structural and logical analysis of the phenomenon of “safe city” in the context of sustainable development goals is provided. Geo-information layers for the interactive map of Kharkiv with gender-sensitive security parameters of urban locations have been developed. Geolocation potential for identifying the safety/hazard coordinates of urban locations and assessing the quality of the urban environment, in general, are covered. Gender-segregated and gender-sensitive spatial data necessary to carry out gender monitoring of city security are visualized. The developed GIS layers for the map of Kharkiv are able to play an integrating role of the catalyst for the city's gender mainstreaming and allow the local executive authorities to efficiently perform information and analytical processes to develop appropriate solutions (generation of gender segregated data, data management and exchange, remote zoning) and others. A “model of multi-criteria evaluation of gender-sensitive content” to improve the processes of “content management” of urban infrastructure projects and programs is developed. The model integrates PMBoK requirements for the project content management and specific gender GIS requirements for the content of the infrastructure project. It is noted that the application of the proposed model allows making effective design decisions by integrating gender parameters in the project database in the format of GIS mapping

Nowadays, cities across the world are one after another trying to become so called Smart Cities. In this paper we propose several ideas on how to define the concept of Smart City, including our own. However, our main focus will be on the question of the safety and security in such cities in the future. Our study of the Smart City program shows the lack of importance which is being given to this topic. Because of that, we are inspired to introduce our definition of a Safe City. Along with the topics of safety and security, we also provide the reader with an insight into the importance and use of the modelling and simulations in a Safe City.

Safety has been the main focus in many urban areas, including Malaysia. It is not only concern on the crime problems, but it is also important in promoting urban tourism. In 1996, UN-Habitat Nations emphasized the concept of Safe City due to the concern of the increase number of crime cases in urban areas. In Malaysia, Shah Alam and Putrajaya are some of the area that implemented the safe city programme. However, this concept is still questionable due to the frequent occurrence of crime has been reported. As such, this study explores the most importance steps of crime prevention and the effectiveness of Safe City Programme in Putrajaya. Putrajaya has been chosen as a case study as this area has applied the Safe City Programme since 2004. Local tourists have been selected as the main respondents because they are the major tourists in Putrajaya. Since Safe City Programme has been implemented in Putrajaya, many respondents presume that crime prevention steps in Safe City Programme were the “important” ways to ensure the level of tourist safety. On the other hand, in terms of the effectiveness, most of the respondents “satisfied” with the crime prevention steps in Putrajaya. In line of the findings, it is recommended that the tourism industry and law enforcement agencies collaborate to improve the crime prevention steps in Safe City Programme.

In recent years, safety aspect becomes one of the prominent issues among tourists in the urban tourism. This issue has led to the implementation of Safe City Programme in Putrajaya since year 2004. Local tourists have been selected as the main respondents in this research. While Safe City Programme has been implemented in Malaysia, respondents believe that crime prevention steps in Safe City Programme are important approach to ensure the tourist's safety. However, if a measure from the effectiveness, a majority of respondents has preferred the “satisfied” to presume a level of crime prevention steps under Safe City Programme in Putrajaya.

Smart cities employ information and communication technologies to improve: the quality of life for its citizens, the local economy, transport, traffic management, environment, and interaction with government. Due to the relevance of smart cities (also referred using other related terms such as Digital City, Information City, Intelligent City, Knowledge-based City, Ubiquitous City, Wired City) to various stakeholders and the benefits and challenges associated with its implementation, the concept of smart cities has attracted significant attention from researchers within multiple fields, including information systems. This study provides a valuable synthesis of the relevant literature by analysing and discussing the key findings from existing research on issues related to smart cities from an Information Systems perspective. The research analysed and discussed in this study focuses on number of aspects of smart cities: smart mobility, smart living, smart environment, smart citizens, smart government, and smart architecture as well as related technologies and concepts. The discussion also focusses on the alignment of smart cities with the UN sustainable development goals. This comprehensive review offers critical insight to the key underlying research themes within smart cities, highlighting the limitations of current developments and potential future directions.

We examined the effects of CCTV upon fear of crime through a multi-level analysis, using the Seoul Survey. We examined factors such as the number of CCTV cameras, crime rates, and disorder according to community and resident demographics. The results showed that the number of CCTV cameras was negatively associated with the fear of crime, but no significant effect was observed on the perceived risk of crime. In addition, the effects of CCTV differed by gender. The number of CCTV cameras was found to affect men's fear of crime but not women's fear of crime. Crime rates and disorder as regional-level factors were found to increase both fear of crime and the perceived risk of crime. The current findings emphasize the importance of scientific and systematic installation of CCTV cameras, active responses from police and related organizations to reduce crime and disorder, and the establishment of additional security measures for females.

Ensuring safety and security of citizens in smart cities is one of the key challenges for governments, mayors and policy makers. "Safe City" is an open and reliable solution that provides a variety of integrated operational services for a highly complex operational chain and effective deployment, not only at an individual level of a municipality, but also integration into a single, federal structure. "Safe City" offers, with its single set of information-management tools, a multi-dimensional coverage for complex and multi-functional operational tasks, a diversity of integrated systems (video surveillance and video analytics, chemical control, emergency communications, public address and general alarm, media, etc.) and support for a sustainable expansion of the present and future services (e.g., eCall, connection of public objects, telephone notification). The presented solution builds a comprehensive and intelligent view of what happens in the smart city by unifying and integrating various events and contextual information from heterogeneous information systems into a single information space, by visualizing such information and opening communications with other systems. The decision-support subsystem makes it possible, in its automatic mode, to estimate the parameters of the system as a whole and respond efficiently to changes in the operational environment. "Safe City" is a future-oriented solution that is prepared for further adaptations according to the market and regulatory needs.
