ABSTRACT
The objective is to ensure that the project provides for the way in which the surveillance of the spaces will be made possible. The clarity of the properties and their boundaries: a clear definition of space and real estate provides a basis for identifying the responsibilities and the competences of the stakeholders in charge of surveillance. A safety audit, part of the whole process of the project, can highlight which spaces are high risk or specific targets of crime. The visibility of the spaces: the design of the space impacts on the capacity to "see and be seen" with regard to both the human and technical surveillance modes. With regard to the technical systems, it is possible to plan for the conditions under which a technical surveillance system may be implemented, by deciding on the routing of the electrical network at the initial onset of the project.
