Abstract:
Safety perception research on small remote peripheral towns is lacking. In the present study, the spatio-temporal patterns of unsafety perceptions in the town of Želiezovce (Slovakia), a town with less than 7,000 inhabitants, was examined. The study is based on the emotional mapping of 98 young adolescents (between the ages of 10 to 16). Fear-related areas were identified using the kernel density method. The day- and night-time spatio-temporal patterns of perceived threats and fear-related areas were analysed. Regardless of the time of the day, the most frequently mentioned threats perceived by the participants were people-related. The spatial pattern of fear-related areas was not stable in time, with more fear-related areas appearing after dark.
