Design & Security
2
Security?
• Camera?• Tourniquet?• Fences?• Security controls?
3
What is security in public space?
• Ease• Freedom• Not to feel threatened• Openness • Light• To be able to read a book• No negative triggers• Quality of sound• Presence of people and human control
4
Perception of security is
• Personal + emotional = subjective• STILL: a lot of know-how on technical &
measurable aspects of security• Much less on subjective/emotional dimension
5
Palette of emotions & elements
• Underground - surface• Technical & soft control - flux modeling• Light, acoustics, color, sound, temperature,
maintenance, supervision, art• Legibility of space• Presence of facilities & services
6
Presence & size
• Transversal: in all layers of society• Diverse aspects: multidisciplinary approach• Developed by YdesignFoundation • In cooperation with UITP
7
Research program 1/2
• What are the triggers that prevent people from travelling by tram, bus, metro?
• Which are the best cases?• What do they share?
8
Research program 2/2
• Where?• Europe • Intermodal stations for urban public transport
• Who does the research?• A multidisciplinary team of antropologists sociologist,
psychologists, designers, architects, urban planners, engineers, ...
9
Target groups
• Operators & authorities in urban public transport• Architects, urban planners, real estate
developers
10
Cooperation with
• UITP : 85 countries + 2700 members• POLIS: European mobility network• Flemish Government• Cabinet for Equal Opportunities of Brussels Capital
Government
11
PT Operators & corporations
• STIB/MIVB - Brussels/Belgium• VVM - de Lijn - Flanders/Belgium• RATP - Paris - France• Sporveier - Oslo - Norway• Lanstrafiken - Jönnköping - Sweden• Storstockholm Lokaltrafik - Stockholm - Sweden• Istanbul Ulasim - Istanbul - Turkey• STCP - Porto - Portugal• Schréder - Liège - Belgium• IBM• Clear Channel
12
Objectives
• Practical guidelines in terms of exploitation & management of interchange zones in intermodal tram-bus-metro-stations
13
Where are we now?
• Conclusions & Guidelines • To be officially presented at UITP World
Congress on May 23rd in Helsinki
14
General concept:
• Urban Public Transport stations are a public space
• Hence can be seen as a heterotopia (Martin Hajer’s interpretation after Michel Foucault’s heterotopia concept 1967)
15
Front & Back Space behaviour
• Front space: USE• Behaviour as prescribed
• Eg Benches & seats are used as designer conceived them
16
Back space: RUSE & ABUSE
• RUSE: unexpected behaviour• Challenging behaviour often responding to technological
innovation• Eyebrows up• Irritations
17
ABUSE
• Unacceptable behaviour• Operators should enforce existing conventions,
rules• Improving perceived security and control
18
Operators should reposition themselves• Evolve from transporters to• Mobility and community service providers• and offer:
• Transport• Information• Retailing • Entertainment• Stay in control & create synergies
19
Design measures
• 3 layers• 1. Infrastructure• 2. Equipment• 3. Senses
20
Some design Guidelines - layer 1• Design space in space to wait, meet, connect, pause• Multi-functionality creates better social control
• Convex spaces• Unhampered by kiosks, vending machines etc.• Shorten walkways inside station• Reduce number of walkways to increase density of fluxes• Improve social control
• Provide good lines of sight to and from the interior of the entrance - exit
21
Some design guidelines layer 2/1
• Use good looking materials in entrances - exits• Shape the entrance - exit so as to close it during non-service hours without creating dead-ends
The use of stainless steel mirrors and advertisement or frequently changed surface mitigates vandalism if in conformity with fire & explosion regulations
22
Some design guidelines - layer 2/2
• Equip station entrances with highly visible signs• Strip immediate surroundings of all visible
obstacles
23
Some design guidelines layer 3/1
• Add to every worker’s task the mission of surveillance• Increase the visibility of workers• Workers should have helping - friendly attitude• Several companies operating, but only 1 vest• Provide smart looking civilian looking uniforms
24
Some design measures layer 3/2
• Create a secure, comfortable and clean environment• Clean graffiti within 24hours• Use easy to clean, repair surfaces• Use inefficient surfaces on which paints do not adhere
conveniently
25
Some design measures - layer 3/3• Increase female workers, it dilutes aggressiveness amongst passengers
• ‘any seat is a pregnant priority one’
• Create synergies with hospitals, entertainment centres, event organisations
