7. PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS OF SAFETY BENCHMARK SURVEY

   B Parsons
   Research and Consultation Manager	31 January 2006

   Reporting on progress regarding research undertaken to capture Auckland's city residents' safety perceptions in preparation for developing the safety strategy. The research identifies how safe Auckland city residents feel, and what makes them feel safe and unsafe. It identifies priority areas and provides a baseline level from which to compare future safety measures.

   Results indicate that Auckland city residents generally feel safe during the day in Auckland, but feel significantly less safe at night. Three quarters of residents feel that Auckland's safety needs to be improved, a third feel less safe than they did a year ago, and almost a third do not go out at night because it is too dangerous. People feel particularly unsafe in Auckland's parks at night, and many do not feel safe parking their car in Auckland.

   Perceptions of safety from crime and safety in parks at night have the greatest impact on overall feelings of safety. Lighting is also identified as playing a large role in people's perceptions of safety.

   Recommending that the Public Safety and Community Order committee endorse the use of these findings as part of the planning for the safety strategy.
