Quantitative study for applying prospect-refuge theory on perceived safety in Al-Azhar Park, Egypt

Global research in landscape architecture demonstrates the perceived safety in parks. This article used Al-Azhar Park, Cairo, Egypt, as a case study to determine the type of prospect that most promotes users' perception of safety. Given that prospects-refuge makes perceived safety perform bette...
