Integrating Smart Home Technologies with CPTED Principles for Crime Prevention: A Model for Future Safe Homes
摘要
This research proposes a hybrid model combining Smart Home Technologies with Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) to create cost-effective, secure housing for India’s urban middle class in Delhi, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. Analyzing NCRB crime data (2018–2022), the study identifies patterns in burglary, theft, and domestic violence. Using QGIS for crime mapping and AutoCAD for 3D home models, it integrates AI-driven IoT devices (e.g., smart locks, cameras) with CPTED strategies like natural surveillance and territorial reinforcement. Locally sourced materials (e.g., rammed earth) and modular designs ensure affordability and sustainability, offering a scalable blueprint for safer urban homes.
