| Abstract | This study identifies building typologies which are suitable to be adapted in a development when security is paramount. The study reviews books related to security in the built environment and then applies these principles into custom buildings in Malaysia. Newman (1977) stated that a building should have clear distinction of areas which are influenced by the inhabitants, to have opportunity to survey the surrounding. Healy (1983) argued that having a proper site layout of facility and his principle of Three Line of Defenses would ensure security in a building. Finally, Crouch et al (1999) stated that having communal areas and proper lighting would avoid crime. These total five principles can be implemented in institutional buildings to warrant security. First is to have a clear distinction of public and private spaces. Second is to give the opportunity to survey the surroundings. Third is to have a proper site layout. Fourth is to implement the Three Line of Defenses as proposed by Healy (1983) and finally to ensure a facility to have adequate lighting. It can be concluded that these approaches are derived from three elements: eradicating the fear in people, lessening the opportunities for offenders to act on a crime and an understanding of human psychology to create a boundary. |
