Neighbourhood life, social capital and perceptions of safety in an Australian city
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-18, 01:16 authored by Ziersch, A, Putland, C, Palmer, C, MacDougall, C, Baum, FIn this paper we report on a South Australian study of perceptions of safety and aspects of neighbourhood life including social capital which involved the analysis of 2400 self-completed questionnaires. A path analysis found that perceptions of safety were directly associated with gender, age, perceptions of neighbourhood pollution and neighbourhood trust, and indirectly associated with age, neighbourhood pollution and neighbourhood connections. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of the findings for public policy.
