• The direct approach involves staff making personal <br /> contact as much as possible to regulate visitor <br /> behavior through enforcement of park rules and <br /> developing educational and awareness programs <br /> • The indirect approach employs design strategies that <br /> minimize opportunity and facilitate a sense of <br /> community ownership of the facility. <br /> • Layout and physical design of facilities including <br /> building and amenities location is important in <br /> discouraging graffiti. Secluded areas with few people <br /> and large blank surfaces invite graffiti. <br /> • Signs should be in highly visible, yet located in hard-to- <br /> reach locations. <br /> • Outdoor furniture or other amenities should not be <br /> placed in such a way that they can be maneuvered to <br /> gain access to light fixtures or signs. <br /> • Vulnerable areas such as signs, blank walls and <br /> structures should be illuminated sufficiently to allow for <br /> nighttime visibility that rivals day light. <br /> • Provide clear sight lines by removing vegetation or <br /> trees that obstruct surveillance, any positive effects of <br /> lighting. <br /> • Restricted access to frequently tagged areas by using <br /> plantings to block opportunities to damage surfaces. <br /> • Vandal proof vulnerable surfaces with the use of <br /> "Barrier" and "Sacrificial" coatings. <br /> • Graffiti attracts more graffiti. A well-maintained building <br /> or site attracts less graffiti, by contrast, simply because <br /> a clean appearance says to the graffitist that his/her <br /> creation will not last. Prompt removal of any graffiti <br /> sends the message that vandalism will not be tolerated <br /> and that management is in control. <br /> • <br /> 43 <br />
