ABSTRACT
Recently, the demand for museums has increased to raise the cultural level of the general public and policies have been established to build more museum facilities. The expansion of museums has led to more museum heists, so security has become an important issue for museums by analyzing vulnerable areas within the premises. However, there is not enough research on the security of museums. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to establish basic data for future museum designs by analyzing the spatial structure of museums and the areas vulnerable to theft. This study used space syntax to analyze the vulnerable areas of a museum and derived areas with low spatial awareness. The main findings are as follows. 1) Based on the global integration of the museum, this study derived convex spaces with both low global and local integration values, which were considered to have low accessibility to other spaces and low spatial significance. 2) This study derived the minimum value of the local integration of the museum, and this convex identified the most vulnerable space for theft. Therefore, it is necessary to design security and control facilities for spaces vulnerable to theft when designing museums in the future. Based on this, it is possible to predict areas vulnerable to theft, and use this study as basic data to design museums in the future.
