A lot of challenges arises from an expanding Stockholm. One of them is mentioned in Theregional development plan for the Stockholm region 2010 (RUFS) as “To increase theperceived safety in the region when the world is perceived as more unsafe”(Regionplanenämnden, 2010:19). A typical example of a location where it is difficult tocreate environments that are perceived as safe is the Stockholm subway.The aim of this study is to examine which situational and social factors that contribute to thefeeling of being safe at the subway stations. The literature review covers the concept ofperceived safety and its definition. The social and situational factors that should affectperceived safety according to science are also explained. The factors that are examined in thisreview are the same as the ones in the theory Crime Prevention Through EnvironmentalDesign (CPTED). Data from the Stockholm safety survey from 2014 “Trygghet i dinstadsdel” is used to identify the station that is perceived as the safest, Stora Mossen, and thestation that is perceived as least safe, Tensta.A qualitative field study at the stations Stora Mossen and Tensta in the Stockholm subway areexecuted with support from the literature review and data from the Stockholm safety survey.The field study includes two visits at each station, during day and night, where the social andsituational attributes that contribute to perceived safety are analyzed.Findings show that the physical environment affects the perceived safety at the two examinedsubway stations but that this is not the only contributing factor. The perceived safety in thesurrounding area and the qualities and earlier experiences of the individual also have an effecton the perceived safety at the stations. It is also established that no general conclusions canmed made because merely a qualitative study at limited amount of subway stations wasconducted. |
