GIS APPLIED ON A STUDY OF CHINESE CULTURE UNIVERSITY’S CAMPUS SAFETY

“How is the security in the campus? ” becomes a hot issue, after problems of campus security occurred in recent days, such as vitriol splash and violence. Students are ignorant about those unsuspected danger in campuses. They can’t even avoid it. We try to inject the theory of Environmental Behavior Study into this study. According to the surveys of Chinese Technological and Vocational Education, the campus safety includes 16 subjects, like school buildings, fire preventions, equipments of water and electricity and anti-violence…etc. Based on the researches of Chinese Culture University, we will examine the illumination and scopes, the guard patrolling paths, and the danger locations in campus that are investigated into users ’ emotion in environmental psychology. In order to find out where the dangerous places are, we apply the function of buffer in Geographic Information System (GIS). By connecting geo-database and spatial features, we will make an analysis and see the two opposite concept, safety and danger, in a campus. Finally, we will use those factors to make a degree zone map of the safe and dangerous places in the campus of Chinese Culture University. We will also offer suggestions to the management of campus security
