The existing studies are about crime prevention of apartment complex and residential site in the metropolitan area, so it is difficult to apply the results of established studies to Jeju city, Jeju-do, which is an island. This study is a part of CPTED ( Crime Prevention Through Environment Design ) which has tried to find out spacial characters by investigating the crime spaces in Jeju city.
For the study, To makes fundamental form of this study was analyzed existing studies about crime prevention through environment design. and was arranged it.

The results of this study can be summarized as follows:
1) The crimes, occurred in Jeju city, looking into the crime types, show that larceny took most of parts of all with 38%. The next is violence.
In relation to the natural environment and the crime occurrence, considering with seasons and the crime rate, July and August in which crime rate is the highest, so Summer is the highest season by crime occurrence rate. the crime has taken place the most between the time of period 21-04 O'clock.

The nexts are Ildo-dong, Samdo-dong, Ido-dong and Yongdam-dong region as the center of Jeju city in which commercial facilities stand close and people's activities are active, so these regions have high crime occurrence rate.
3) For the crime occurrence by facilities, the commercial facilities with 51% is the highest rate, and the residential facilities is 33% and accommodations facilities is 11% which shows high rate of the crime occurrence. The reason that accommodations facilities have relative high rate is that Jeju-do is the tourist place, and the center of Jeju city such as Yeon-dong has many accommodations facilities like hotel.
