Although the availability of natural space is found to be associated with the reduction of neighborhood-level violent crimes, such relationship is often confounded by heightened public surveillance in such spaces. Using satellite remote sensing data and official crime record, we examined the extent to which natural space coverage and population-weighted exposure were associated with assault crime rates, including domestic violent assault, which minimalized the influence of surveillance. Analyses of data from New South Wales, Australia, between 2015 and 2019 showed that regions with more green space and higher population-weighted exposure to green space had lower rates of both domestic and non-domestic violent assault during the five-year period of inquiry. The coverage of water bodies did not reveal a significant association. This study underscores the consistent negative association between green space and interpersonal violence and highlights its potential implications for urban planning and landscape design as strategies for violence mitigation.

绿色空间与较低的暴力袭击率相关：一项纵向遥感研究


尽管发现自然空间的可用性与社区层面暴力犯罪的减少有关，但这种关系往往与此类空间加强的公共监控相混淆。使用卫星遥感数据和官方犯罪记录，我们研究了自然空间覆盖和人口加权暴露与袭击犯罪率（包括家庭暴力袭击）的关联程度，从而最大限度地减少了监控的影响。对 2015 年至 2019 年间澳大利亚新南威尔士州数据的分析表明，在五年调查期间，拥有更多绿色空间和更高人口对绿色空间的权重的地区，家庭和非家庭暴力袭击的发生率较低。水体的覆盖率没有显示出显著的关联。本研究强调了绿色空间与人际暴力之间始终如一的负相关，并强调了其对城市规划和景观设计作为减轻暴力策略的潜在影响。
