The purpose of this study was to deduce implications for the improvements in subway station for crime prevention based on the comprehensive analysis of the crime data, expert interview, field observation, and computer simulation. For field observation, 6 non-transfer stations which have similar circumstance characteristics and where there is a difference only in crime rate were selected and investigated. And for simulating how passengers move from platform to ticket gate in these stations, the Simulex was used. The results showed that the higher crime rate of the station is correlated with the place where the congestion and crowding frequently occurs. In conclusion, the architectural design elements of subway station which cause the passenger congestion were summarized and measures of architectural design for crime prevention in subway station were suggested.
