What is Fear of Crime?_Concept Map
This Image describes Fear of Crime and its many factors such as social & personal as well as environmental, it also describes its effect on the population. This was assembled from the Literature Review conducted prior to research.
Aims and Objectives in relation to Research Methods used.
Presentation of the Aims and Objectives of this research project and their relation to the research methods used (Photo Ethnography, Interviews and consequently analysis of Reported Crime Dataset).
Sentiment-Scape of Loughborough University's campus
Sentiment-Scape of the University built from data collected from the Photo Ethnography study (N=18). This illustrates sentiments participants experienced through campus (from very positive to very negative) and its built environment during the study.
Numbers of Sentiment associated with Environmental Features
Numbers of Sentiment associated with Environmental Features of the University built from data collected during the Photo Ethnography study (N=18). This illustrates the number of types of sentiments per environmental features (coded through visual cues in gathered pictures) participants experienced through campus and its built environment during the study.
Concept Maps of Security's strategy on campus and factors influencing criminogenic spaces on campus
The Concept Maps of Security's strategy on campus, as well as the factors influencing criminogenic spaces on campus, developed from Interviews (N=2) carried out with the campus Security team. This illustrates the main types of crime occurring on campus and the strategy in place countering them as well as the criminogenic spaces present and factors influencing/allowing crime.
Reported Crimes on Loughborough University's campus from Jan2020 to Jun2021.
The Reported Crimes map on Loughborough University's campus from Jan2020 to Jun2021 was developed from datasets of reported crime gathered from Interviews (N=2) carried out with the campus Security team. This illustrates types of reported crimes occurring on campus and their location.
Positive and Negative Sentiment-Scape of Loughborough University's campus relating to Reported Crime (Jan2020 to Jun2021)
The Positive and Negative Sentiment-Scape of Loughborough University's campus relating to Reported Crime (Jan2020 to Jun2021) were developed from datasets of reported crime gathered from Interviews (N=2) carried out with the campus Security team in relation to participants' Sentiments gathered from the Photo Ethnography (N=18). This illustrates the intensity of crime and types of crime compared to types of sentiments experienced through the built environment available on campus.
Designing Out FoC/Results_Concept Map
This Concept map of the Dissertation's result demonstrates factors in relation to the campus' built environment such as emotional and criminogenic. This also lists the main designed interventions to the built environment which could help alleviate FoC and crime levels as well as meliorating users' experience of the campus.
Claire Vergnes
I am interested in developing a sustainable human-based approach to design to best accommodate human needs and meliorate their livelihood.
In the understanding of Design as an interdisciplinary practice and an agent of positive change, I aim to focus my design practice around the subconscious element of influence environmental and biological factors hold on people for the design of better environments. Coming from a very diverse Design background, I became aware of the influence the human senses exerted on the human experience which lead to further interests in human behavioural sciences and the Design of experiences through environmental design (through designed physical environmental changes and technology).
It's with ambition and dedication that I seek a career in Design for innovation and good through the design of human-environment interactions based on the reductionist approach of human behavioural science.
