PARENTAL FEAR OF CRIME IN HOUSING AREAS OF THE CITY CENTER: EXAMPLE OF KÜÇÜK AYASOFYA

Summary/Abstract: Growing up in urban spaces brings many challenges for the child. As the consequences of rapid urbanization are reflected negatively in the urban space, the child is deprived of the possibilities offered to him by the physical environment and his social, cultural and mental development are affected negatively. Children who live in housing areas of the city center are also affected more negatively. Children living in these areas that are functionally and socially transformed into a heterogeneous structure do not have the freedom to act independently because of parents' fear of traffic as well as fear of crime. This fear of crime is a fact which has a considerable impact of the daily lives of urban dwellers directly or indirectly by preventing urban open spaces such as public parks, squares, plazas, streets being used; causing routes preferred to travel between working places and dwelling places to change; and causing roads and streets chosen for commerce to be altered. Independent mobility of the child can be defined as the freedom to move around and move in the neighborhood or city where the child lives without adult supervision. The ability of the child to act independently has a positive influence on the development of the child and is expressed as the essential requirement for the child's personal development. In this study, it is aimed to determine the relationship between the parents' fear of crime and the independence of the child in the housing areas of the city center. The method of the study consists of a field study and survey research.
