Abstract
A safe and secure environment is the prime objective of SBD recommendations. To achieve this objective, equal weighting should be given to both the environmental and physical security. There should be a mix of dwellings, as the potential for homes to be occupied throughout the day gives increased opportunity for natural surveillance, community interaction and environmental control.
