Finally, the main questionnaire with 36 questions was provided for 390 people. The results show that the strategies of Crime Prevention through Environmental Designs (CPTDE) such as territory-definition, monitoring, entry and access controls, and environmental quality earned coefficients of 0.464, 0.533, 0.561, and 0.402 respectively and with meaningful level less than 0.05, have a direct correlation with crime prevention. Based on these results, it is recommended to attention the solutions such as breakdown of public, Semipublic, Semi-private and private areas; Designing the main facade of the houses facing the street and public areas; the definition of distinctive entrance to the residential complex; landscape design of complex and using appropriate and beautiful urban furniture, in the architectural design.
