Resumo(s)
O presente estudo avalia o impacto da aplicação dos princípios CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) no centro da cidade de Leiria, no âmbito do
projeto europeu URBACT “UrbSecurity”. A investigação analisa a evolução da “criminalidade de rua” e aborda a perceção de segurança dos cidadãos antes e depois da
intervenção urbana, centrando-se na zona do centro histórico. Através de uma abordagem mista, foram analisados dados criminais da PSP entre 2017 e 2024, bem como o estudo de opinião promovido pela Câmara Municipal de Leiria. Os resultados demonstram uma diminuição da criminalidade em determinadas áreas residenciais e uma melhoria na
perceção de segurança durante o dia, embora persistam ocorrências pontuais em zonas comerciais. Verifica-se, contudo, a existência de alguns comportamentos indesejados nas
intervenções implementadas que beneficiaram do reforço da iluminação, da melhoria da vigilância natural, da requalificação dos espaços públicos e da expansão do sistema de
videovigilância, i.e., houve um acréscimo da criminalidade nalgumas zonas que foram alvo das intervenções. Conclui-se assim que para haver uma melhoria dos resultados da
implementação dos princípios CPTED nessas zonas, deve haver uma monitorização e adaptação ao contexto com vista aos resultados desejados, uma vez que o melhoramento do
espaço público nem sempre atrai os destinatários e pode facilitar comportamentos indesejados.
The present study evaluates the impact of CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) implementation principles in the city centre of Leiria, within the framework of the European URBACT project “UrbSecurity.” The research analyses the evolution of “street crime” and addresses citizens’ perception of safety before and after the intervention, focusing on the historic city centre. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study examined crime data reported by PSP from 2017 to 2024, as well as the perception’s survey conducted by the Municipality of Leiria. The results demonstrate a crime reduction in certain residential areas and an increase in the perception of safety during the daytime, although occasional incidents still occur in commercial zones. However, some undesirable behaviours were observed in the intervention areas that benefited from enhanced lighting, improved natural surveillance, public space revitalization, and the expansion of the video surveillance system—i.e., there was an increase in crime in some of the areas targeted by the interventions. It is therefore concluded that, in order to reach the outcomes of CPTED implementation in these areas, continuous monitoring and contextual adaptation are required to achieve the desired results, since the enhancement of public space does not always attract the intended users and may, in some cases, facilitate undesirable behaviours.
