This study aimed to identify the actual situation of threat incidents occurring against children and women in parks in Tokyo and reveal the environmental factors contributing to such incidents. Cross-tabulations and logistic regression analysis revealed the following results: 1) the type, time, and month of occurrence of threat incidents in parks differ from those in other public spaces, especially for victims aged under 13; 2) the connectivity between parks and surrounding streets increases the likelihood of threat incidents, especially in residential areas. These resultsindicate that in order to address threat incidents in parks effectively, it is necessary to focus on them based on the location environment while taking their characteristics into account.
