Percepcja, ocena i społeczny odbiór przestrzeni bezpiecznej
Perception, evaluation and social views of safe space

Summary/Abstract: Space accounts not only for its constituent elements, but also for the emotions experienced by people who come into contact with space. When surrounded by space, our senses register the impressions related to our perceptions of space. Space is perceived with the involvement of various channels for communicating impressions. The information accumulated by different receptors is used by the observer to identify with and habituate space. Subject to the qualities of space, the observer may experience various emotions, ranging from fear and anxiety to a sense of freedom and safety. The paper discusses spatial thinking mechanisms which are involved in our perceptions of safe space and man-space relations. It analyzes spatial elements that contribute to public perceptions of safety and the factors that shape them. The paper also examines the concepts of urban stress and safety culture.
