description	Although there are many studies about the relationship between urban and architectural form, and the occurrence of crimes, studies that deal specifically with university environments are still rare. In this work, we analyze two pairs of parking lots on the main campus of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), in Florianópolis, to ascertain if visibility, permeability, number of users and land use diversity are relevant explanatory factors of higher or lower quantities of crime occurrences in these areas. Each pair comprised one parking lot with high and other with low crime rate, both with similar amounts of parking spots. Field surveys, observations, and maps supported a comparative analysis. The results indicate that visibility and permeability are effectively crucial in reducing the occurrence of crimes. On the other hand, the sheer number of people in each place was not able to explain the differences in crime rates, except when its distribution throughout the day and the visibility provided by the primary circulation paths to the parking lots were taken into account. As for land uses, the results were contrary to the widespread belief among architects and urbanists that greater diversity is related to a lower number of criminal occurrences. The conclusions bring forth essential aspects to be considered in debates, masterplans and spatial interventions on university campuses.

Embora haja um grande número de estudos que analisam a relação entre a forma urbana e arquitetônica e a ocorrência de crimes, estudos específicos em ambientes universitários ainda são raros. Neste trabalho, são analisados dois pares de estacionamentos no campus principal da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), em Florianópolis, para verificar se a visibilidade, permeabilidade, nível de apropriação e diversidade de uso do solo podem ser fatores explicativos de uma maior ou menor ocorrência de crimes nesses locais. Eles foram escolhidos por apresentar, em cada par, quantidades semelhantes de vagas e quantidades contrastantes de crimes, sendo um estacionamento com alta e o outro com baixa ocorrência. A análise comparativa foi feita com base em levantamentos in loco, observação e elaboração de mapas. Os resultados indicam que a visibilidade e permeabilidade são efetivamente importantes para diminuir a ocorrência de crimes. Por outro lado, a quantidade de pessoas em cada local, por si só, não foi capaz de explicar as diferenças nas taxas de crimes, a não ser quando foi considerada sua distribuição ao longo do dia e a visibilidade a partir dos principais caminhos para os estacionamentos. Quanto aos usos do solo, os resultados mostraram-se contrários à crença disseminada entre arquitetos e urbanistas de que maior diversidade estaria relacionada a menor número de ocorrências criminais. As conclusões trazem elementos para fomentar os debates, planos e intervenções em campi universitários sob a lógica da segurança.
