(TU Delft Spatial Planning and Strategy) López, Manuel (Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences) de Bonth, L.F.J.M. Verhagen, D.J. Waayer, Simone Contributor Nijhuis, Steffen (editor) Zlatanova, Sisi (editor) Dias, Eduardo (editor) van der Hoeven, Frank (editor) van der Spek, Stefan (editor) Date 2016 Abstract This contribution describes the tool Social Safe Urban Design (SSUD), seentogether with socio-spatial and linguistic challenges when applying space syntax in the regenerating of problem urban areas. The Space Syntax jargon is technical and needs to be translated into a language understandable and acceptable to stakeholders who are responsible for the implementation of improvement strategies acceptable for the users of a neighbourhood. Moreover, the degree of public-private interface between buildings and streets needs to be incorporated in the Space Syntax analyses. As it turns out from spatial analyses and crime registrations, there is a correlation between crime and anti-social behaviour and the spatial layout of built environments in the investigated eight pilot cases. Simultaneously, there is also a challenge to come up with locally and globally functioning spatial solutions for reducing opportunities for crime and anti-social behaviour for the neighbourhoods. Proposed solutions for three of these neighbourhoods are presented in thiscontribution.
