居住安全是生活中的重要需求，台灣近年來都市化發展，生活品質大大提升，但居住環境中暗藏的問題也慢慢浮現。住宅高樓化、公寓式大樓的發展，致使設計提供居民互動、停留的公共空間減少、社區中陰暗空間太多…等。許多的犯罪事件常發生在住宅周圍和住宅內，可見居住安全的重要性。
空間的設計應是能給予人們安心的居住，研究顯示，犯罪行為之發生原因相當複雜，由先期環境規劃的預防方法，並加以有效的人員控制，對降低犯罪的發生是可以達到相當的功效。國內雖有部分相關研究，但討論的範圍略有不足，研究的範圍也多在一個特定的社區或區域內作討論。關於社區規劃方面，有姜雅芬(1998)依社區的開放性作研究，但缺乏依不同的「社區配置型式、規劃特點」與「犯罪恐懼感」之間做比較的研究。因此，探討不同的社區空間配置型式對居民犯罪恐懼感的影響，而居住空間的領域層次是否對居民的犯罪恐懼感有影響，為本研究的討論主旨。
以台南市的六個國宅做為實証社區，依其不同的規劃條件分類。採問卷方式進行，總共回收有效問卷298份。
研究結果顯示：
1、巷弄型社區的社區意識最低，犯罪恐懼感最高。
2、穿越型道路系統的居民犯罪恐懼感比面臨次要及主要道路的社區高，而其社區意識則明顯高於面臨次要道路的社區。
3、社區意識愈高，居民的犯罪恐懼感愈低。
4、居民背景屬性中，年齡對社區意識的高低有較顯著的影響；而不同年齡層、居住時間的長短、居住的樓層位置對犯罪恐懼感的影響則比較明顯。

Community security is an important requirement, and the urbanization development in recent years of Taiwan, the quality of the life improves greatly, but the question hidden in the environment of living appears slowly. The high building and apartment development. The public space in the community is reduced, and too many dark space in the community.A lot of crime events often take place around the house and in the house. Therefore, community security is important.
The space design should make comfortable living space, in the research, the reason of criminal offence is quite complicated, crime prevention of environmental design, and effective person is work to reduce criminal offence.Although there are other research at home, but the range is not enough, is discussed in one specific community or area. About the community planning, there is Chiang, Ya-Fen (1998) which study is to make in accordance with opening of community, without to make the compare ‘community planning’, ‘planning characteristic’ with ‘fear of crime’. Therefore, the major purports in this study are about the impacts on resident's fear of crime in different community layout model, and whether the territorial level of living space has influence on residents' fear of crime.
Chooses six communities in Tainan, depend on its different planning condition. Adopt the questionnaire way, amount to 298 effective questionnaires.

The result of study shows:
1、The sense of community of the lane getting type community is the minimum, the fear of crime is the highest.
2、The community road system is passing through had higher fear of crime than facing the secondary and main community, and its sense of community is obviously higher than the community facing the secondary road.
3、The higher community's consciousness has the lower fear of crime.
4、In resident's background attribute, the age has more apparent influence on degree of sense of community; With age level, living time, and floor that inhabit position impact on fear of crime obvious.
