TL;DR: In this article, the authors present research aimed at uncovering how the public evaluates the cityscape: their evaluative image of the city; they interviewed 220 residents and 180 visitors face-to-face, asking them to specify areas they liked and areas they disliked visually and to describe the physical features accounting for their evaluations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine fear of crime in relation to exterior site features on a college campus and propose and test a theoretical model that posits that places that afford offenders refuge are places that allow them to escape crime.

TL;DR: It was found that mobile-phone related injuries among pedestrians increased relative to total pedestrian injuries, and paralleled the increase in injuries for drivers, and in 2010 exceeded those for drivers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define and examine three kinds of aesthetic variables-formal, symbolic, and schemas-and discuss the relationship of these variables to evaluative response, concluding that design review seeking pleasantness should encourage order, complexity, and atypicality in relation to schemas.

TL;DR: For pedestrians as with drivers, cognitive distraction from mobile phone use reduces situation awareness, increases unsafe behavior, putting pedestrians at greater risk for accidents, and crime victimization.
