abstract="Previous literature has examined the relationship between the amount of green space and perceived safety in urban areas, but little is known about the effect of  street-view neighborhood greenery on perceived neighborhood safety. Using a deep  learning approach, we derived greenery from a massive set of street view images in  central Guangzhou. We further tested the relationships and mechanisms between  street-view greenery and fear of crime in the neighborhood. <br><br>RESULTS demonstrated  that a higher level of neighborhood street-view greenery was associated with a lower  fear of crime, and its relationship was mediated by perceived physical incivilities. While increasing street greenery of the micro-environment may reduce fear of crime,  this paper also suggests that social factors should be considered when designing  ameliorative programs.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
