There is a current need for understanding existing relationships between park use and perceived safety. Six public open spaces were systematically observed for three months and sorted into three groups attending to a perceived safety questionnaire scores. Objective park use and environmental data were analyzed using polar coordinate analysis considering the perceived safety level as the focal behavior. We also considered sociodemographics, crime data, and district-level safety indicators. Sex and years living in the neighborhood influenced perceived safety scores but no association was seen with crime events. Perceived safety at the district level, neighborhood class composition, and disorder was also connected with perceived safety. Increasing perceived safety at the district level can promote physical activity and park use, especially among women, elders, young adults, and the disabled. Implications for public policy are discussed.

当前需要了解公园使用与感知安全之间的现有关系。对六个公共开放空间进行了为期三个月的系统观察，并将其分为三组，参加感知安全问卷评分。考虑到感知安全水平作为焦点行为，使用极坐标分析对客观公园使用和环境数据进行了分析。我们还考虑了社会人口统计、犯罪数据和地区级安全指标。居住在附近的性别和年限会影响感知安全分数，但与犯罪事件没有关联。地区层面的安全感知、邻里阶层构成和混乱也与感知安全有关。在地区层面提高安全意识可以促进体育活动和公园使用，尤其是妇女、老年人、年轻人和残疾人。讨论了对公共政策的影响。
