城市规划者于20世纪70年代提出了建设女性友好城市的设想,其建设对城市的可持续发展有重要推进作用。然而近几年来，城市中仍存在女性夜行安全恶性事件频发、女性夜行安全感低下等问题,反映了在城市规划与实践中女性视角的缺位。如何为女性建设更安全的夜行环境,维护女性的夜间出行权益是虽待解决的难题。基于以上背景,本调研以女性夜行的恐惧感作为切入点，通过手绘地图结合访谈、问卷与图片打分法对深圳布吉街道内女性进行调研。通过搭建研究框架，以空间分析法、语义分析法、视觉实验法三大分析方法，得出女性夜行行为特征、女性夜行恐惧感的时空与群体分异和女性夜行恐惧感的影响因素。最后针对女性恐惧感的影响因素结论,提出街区层面提高夜行安全的实施建议和街景层面的空间优化建议,为后续推进女性友好城市建设提供基础支撑。
