dc.description.abstractStaff housing quarters often face privacy challenges due to shared spaces, close proximity, and communal living arrangements. This thesis examines the application of Defensible Space Theory to enhance privacy and security within these environments. The theory suggests that specific design elements can foster a sense of territoriality, ownership, and responsibility, encouraging residents to actively monitor their surroundings. By deterring unwanted behavior and increasing natural surveillance, these strategies contribute to a safer, more private living environment. This research focuses on how core principles of the theory, such as territoriality, natural surveillance, and controlled access, can be integrated into the architectural design and management of staff housing quarters. The findings aim to provide valuable insights for architects, urban planners, housing developers, and property managers by offering evidence-based design strategies for improving privacy and security in staff housing. Ultimately, the research highlights the importance of thoughtful environmental design in promoting a better quality of life for residents. Keywords: Architectural Design, Controlled Access, Defensible Space Theory, Evidence-Based Design Strategies, Housing Developers, Management, Natural Surveillance, Ownership, Privacy, Privacy Challenges, Property Managers, Quality Of Life, Responsibility, Safer, Security, Shared Spaces, Staff Housing Quarters, Territoriality, Urban Planners.
