Hello CAE Colleagues,
I am currently working on my dissertation research and will be surveying student perceptions of CPTED and Non-CPTED school designs. I need good photographic examples of areas around schools that represent CPTED principles (natural surveillance, access control, territoriality), as well as photos of schools lacking CPTED design. See below for a list of specific spaces I want to survey.
If you or your firm have any images that you'd be willing to share, please send them to djlamoreaux@email.arizona.edu. Appropriate photo credits will of course be given.
Please help me out with this important research! I hope to find that students prefer schools designed with CPTED principles, and we need hard data to share with the public.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Danny Lamoreux
