چکیده:
Crime is the product of an interaction between the person and the setting. Understanding crime has been the focus of researchers in both design and social fields for a few decades. The empirical research within the design field on the issue of crime has mainly focused on site-specific and situational features of a place. In the past decade, a considerable body of design research begun to devote to the relationship between the occurrence of criminal events and spatial configuration, which is a significant factor in human behavior. More recently, there has been developing a method for analyzing space in an urban environment, capturing its quality as being comprehensible and easily navigable named Space Syntax. Urban design researchers have employed space syntax technique to analyze the geographic distribution of crime due to spatial and socio-demographic factors that could influence crime patterns. In this paper, using descriptive and content analysis research, we first demonstrate the position of crime in both traditional social sciences and place-oriented theories. Finally, a configurational approach will be introduced as an analytical method in urban design, which is based on the theoretical foundations, analytical methods and modeling techniques of space syntax.

Meanwhile Routine activity theory (RAT), as a major theory of the spatial location of crime, claims that criminal event results from motivated offenders, attractive targets (opportunities), and an absence of capable guardianship against crime converging non-randomly in time and space (see Cohen &amp; Felson, 1979) (Baran et.
To accomplish this, space syntax uses a vocabulary of spatial types, syntactic maps, graphs, and measures to represent and analyze quantitative relationships between buildings and urban spaces (Schneider &amp; Kitchen, 2007, P.
Space syntax argues, among other things, that urban spatial configurations have reciprocally moulding relationships with movement (and especially pedestrianism) which affect land use patterns and urban densities (Schneider &amp; Kitchen, 2007, P.
Therefore, employing an integrated combinatorial method using both Space Syntax and MCA in the spatial configuration analysis of crime prevention will result to more efficiency and applicability in analytical techniques of urban design and planning.
