Among the crimes that occur in cities, some are influenced by urban form, land use, and road network characteristics, such as road types, visibility, lighting, etc. These factors can either deter or facilitate street-level criminal activities. While the traditional data generated by the trusted organizations, such as mapping agencies or municipalities, has been used to study this phenomenon for years, recent technological advancements have introduced new data sources known as user-generated or volunteered geographic information (VGI), which offer advantages such as high_speed updating and unrestricted accessibility. By integrating VGI with the traditional data and crime-related information, various spatial analyses can be conducted, including the exploration of the relationship between the urban form and street crimes. In this research, we initially examined the connection between crime occurrences and the urban forms using the GTWR data-driven method, which achieves an average forecasting accuracy of 55%. Next , we identified the most influential indicators in the occurrence of crimes and used them to estimate the possibility of crime occurrence on different roads. The results obtained from this approach can provide the urban planners with valuable insights which help them estimate the probability of crime perpetration within the proposed urban plans and propose the best urban forms that can prevent crime perpetration in the urban areas.
