I parchi stanno diventando importanti punti di riferimento per le nuove strategie ambientali e di sostenibilità nelle città, ma la paura della criminalità spesso ne limita lo sviluppo, la fruibilità e la piena valorizzazione sociale. Per incentivare una maggiore e sicura fruibilità è quindi fondamentale, nell’ambito della pianificazione urbana, indagare in profondità le cause e le configurazioni spaziali della paura percepita dagli utenti. Il contributo in questo senso indaga il complesso rapporto tra sicurezza urbana e parchi pubblici, delineando un set di 23 indicatori specifici e multidimensionali utili per valutare e migliorare la sicurezza reale e percepita in questi spazi, con l’obiettivo di favorire una gestione più efficace e inclusiva. Questi strumenti possono supportare progettisti e amministratori nel promuovere ambienti urbani più sicuri e accoglienti per tutti.
