goals, should be taken into consideration. Mechanisms
comprising spatial procedures to be utilized side by side
with Comentional and traditional actions like the use of

It seems too hard, even too strange among some
planners to adopt the geographical dimensions while
handling some spatial issues like redrawing administrative
divisions, or define hot spots of crime to control deviance.
Finally, the utilization of modern technologies like
geographic Information systems (GIS) and Remote
sensing (RS) in addition to application of various
geographical and spatial assimilation models, all are too
valuable while designing crime prevention strategies.
