Put in a sentence the research project is about insecurity of cities from the perspective of their inhabitants and what can be done about it. To obtain information both in the individual cities and for comparing them to each other, the formulation of the methods and instruments applied were standardised as far as possible.本研究项目《欧洲城市的不安全状况》（Insecurities in European Cities）获欧盟委员会第五框架计划下的“关键行动——完善社会经济知识基础”项目资助。本研究的学科定位为犯罪学与城市社会学，兼具应用属性：既涵盖社区犯罪预防与社区安全议题，同时通过对阿姆斯特丹、布达佩斯、汉堡、克拉科夫及维也纳五座欧洲大城市的平行研究，旨在对比不同文化语境下的不安全感、焦虑与恐惧的表现模式。简言之，本研究聚焦居民视角下的城市不安全问题及其应对路径。为获取各城市的调研数据并实现跨城市对比，本研究尽可能对所采用的研究方法与工具进行了标准化处理。
