Description
This paper analyzes a high density housing project in terms of
its defensible space. The behavior of residents of Citrus Park
Homes was seen as indicative of tenant attitudes toward their
home project, its sense of community, of safety and security,
and pride of ownership. Analysis of this privately-owned project
includes a description of the physical structure, spatial
characteristics, tenant characteristics and tenant attitudes,
as evidenced in interviews with 83 adult residents. Where poor
spatial design and physical structure are evidenced by poor behavior
and attitude (lack of recognition or acceptance of territory)
changes in the spatial or architectural design were
suggested.
