Resident Appropriation of Defensible Space in Public Housing: Implications for Safety and Community
Although this study is based on correlational data, and no casual inferences can be drawn, this work takes an important step of providing empirical evidence to suggest a systematic link between certain aspects of resident appropriation and positive neighborhood outcomes. This work thus contributes to research on environment-behavior relations by providing some support for an important relationship posited by DS theory. Implications for DS theory and for public housing policy are discussed.
