This study aims to investigate the possibility of crime
\r\nprevention through CCTV by analyzing the appropriateness of the
\r\nCCTV location, whether it is installed in the hotspot of crime-prone
\r\nareas, and exploring the crime prevention effect and transition effect.
\r\nThe real crime and CCTV locations of case city were converted into
\r\nthe spatial data by using GIS. The data was analyzed by hotspot
\r\nanalysis and weighted displacement quotient (WDQ). As study
\r\nmethods, it analyzed existing relevant studies for identifying the trends
\r\nof CCTV and crime studies based on big data from 1800 to 2014 and
\r\nunderstanding the relation between CCTV and crime. Second, it
\r\ninvestigated the current situation of nationwide CCTVs and analyzed
\r\nthe guidelines of CCTV installation and operation to draw attention to
\r\nthe problems and indicating points of CCTV use. Third, it investigated
\r\nthe crime occurrence in case areas and the current situation of CCTV
\r\ninstallation in the spatial aspects, and analyzed the appropriateness and
\r\neffectiveness of CCTV installation to suggest a rational installation of
\r\nCCTV and the strategic direction of crime prevention. The results
\r\ndemonstrate that there was no significant effect in the installation of
\r\nCCTV on crime prevention in the case area. This indicates that CCTV
\r\nshould be installed and managed in a more scientific way reflecting
\r\nlocal crime situations. In terms of CCTV, the methods of spatial
\r\nanalysis such as GIS, which can evaluate the installation effect, and the
\r\nmethods of economic analysis like cost-benefit analysis should be
\r\ndeveloped. In addition, these methods should be distributed to local
\r\ngovernments across the nation for the appropriate installation of
\r\nCCTV and operation. This study intended to find a design guideline of
\r\nthe optimum CCTV installation. In this regard, this study is
\r\nmeaningful in that it will contribute to the creation of a safe city.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] Park Cheol Hyeon, Choi Suh Yeon, \u201cCrime Prevention Effects of\r\nPublicity of CCTV Installation at Kang-Nam Gu, Seoul - The Effects of\r\nFirst News\u201d, Criminal policy Studies, vol. 79, pp. 217-242, 2009.\r\n[2] Armitage, R., Smyth, G., Pease, K., \u201cBurnley CCTV evaluation.
