This chapter describes the use of GPS in a multi-method approach to explore environmental factors affecting walking patterns in South Africa. Quantitative measures of walking activity are derived from multiday GPS tracks of a sample of people in three case study areas in Pretoria, South Africa. The data suggests that a significant amount of walking takes place across a range of neighbourhood types. The authors then describe a methodology that marries the strengths of GPS data—notably its detail and its suitability for visualisation—with the benefits of more open-ended qualitative research methods to obtain richer insights into the motivations behind the observed behaviours, and the extent to which these are related to built environment factors. A key finding is that personal security and fear of crime is a critically important factor driving both the perceptions and behaviour of pedestrians, especially women. Specific adaptive behaviours are observed that warrant further research.

Purpose Fear of crime is an emerging social problem in Indian society that has a significant impact on the quality of life of the elderly. In the view of this fact, the purpose of this paper is to examine the factors such as (prior victimisation, vulnerability and incivility) which contribute their role in bringing fear of crime among the elderly. Design/methodology/approach Mixed method approach has been applied in this paper. This study has been designed as an exploratory lead-in to a planned wider study into rural–urban context as possible factors in shaping the victimisation experience. The study has been conducted from October 2012 to January 2013 on a sample of 220 elderly living in both rural and urban areas of Lucknow in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. Findings The study found that elderly have been victimised by known persons as compared to unknown persons. Further, the study found that immediate neighbourhood was swarming with loiters, unruly teenagers, gangs, beggars and alcoholic people walk in the society which have significantly impact on the elderly and give threat in neighbourhood. Originality/value This is an original work of researcher.

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to evaluate built environment experts’ perception of factors affecting the building security cost for sustainable development. It examines the effects of building characteristics and protective measures on the cost of building security within the built environment. Design/methodology/approach – The study uses a quantitative research technique, using questionnaires to source relevant information from respondents. Of the 333 questionnaires administered, 293 usable responses were returned, giving an 88 per cent response rate. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is used to examine the suitability of these data for factor analysis. Principal component analysis (PCA) is used to extract the factors. Findings – Components 1, 2 and 3 reflect concern for procurement of security devices, design process of security requirements and safety of life and property and fear of crime, respectively. The communalities represented by R2 are relatively strong across the variables. Aesthetics is significant with an R2 value of 0.71, which shows that this factor should be given due consideration when procuring building security devices. Also, height, location and use of building are significant with R2 values of 0.70, 0.63 and 0.71, respectively. These factors positively influence the building security cost and should be given due consideration when designing protective buildings. Practical implications – The findings would assist in the evaluation, planning and control of the rising cost of building security. Social implications – This study serves to sensitize built environment experts, criminologists and policymakers of the design implication of protective requirements of building security. Originality/value – This study provides empirical evidence that the various factors considered have an effect on the building security cost and contribute immensely towards sustainable the building security cost within the built environment.
