Abstract

As a basic step, in this study we propose a model to describe the snatch incident on residential streets. This model is based on one of the methodologies of social science and the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design’s concept. The objective variable is the feasibility of snatch and explanatory variables are physical factors concerning road network design and traffic regulation, like traffic volume and visible range on streets. As the result of the application to actual situations, the model provided reasonable predictions for distribution of point of incidence in a street section. It is possible to examine the influence that road network design and traffic regulation have on snatch by extending this model to road network.
