The Synergistic Effect of Physical Disorder and Social Context on Fear of Crime in an Urban Park: A Pilot Cross-modal Virtual Reality Study

This dataset provides the integrated experimental results of a study investigating the interplay between physical signs of disorder (e.g., unmanaged vegetation) and socio-contextual factors on the fear of crime in urban parks. Data was collected from 56 participants using immersive virtual reality (VR) stimuli of a low-maintenance park in Tokyo, Japan. The dataset is provided as a consolidated file containing the following metrics for each participant: ・Psychological Measures: Scores from the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). ・Physiological Data: Heart Rate (HR) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) recordings. ・Eye-tracking Data: Visual attention and gaze metrics toward specific environmental features (e.g., unmanaged vegetation). This research quantifies how visual and non-visual cues interact to shape psychological safety, providing an empirical foundation for Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED).本数据集收录了一项研究的整合实验结果，该研究探究了城市公园中无序物理表征（如失管植被）与社会背景因素对犯罪恐惧感的交互影响。研究数据来自56名参与者，实验采用日本东京一处低维护公园的沉浸式虚拟现实（Immersive Virtual Reality, VR）刺激素材。 本数据集以整合文件形式提供，包含每名参与者的以下各类指标： ・心理测量指标：状态-特质焦虑量表（State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, STAI）与正负性情感量表（Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, PANAS）得分。 ・生理数据：心率（Heart Rate, HR）与心率变异性（Heart Rate Variability, HRV）记录。 ・眼动追踪数据：针对特定环境特征（如失管植被）的视觉注意力与注视轨迹指标。 本研究量化了视觉与非视觉线索如何协同作用以塑造心理安全感，为通过环境设计预防犯罪（Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, CPTED）提供了实证基础。
