The enormous growth of Samarinda confronted the people with great problems of environmental pressures, included physical, social and economic factors. One of the social factors is crime. Crime rates tended to increase in urban areas, such as in public housings. Layout of public housing and crime were the two parameters. The object of this research was to analyze the correlation between housing layout and crime in Air Putih Public Housing, Samarinda. The method was deductive qualitative research. It was an empiric research, using case study. The results of this research, most factors correlated between housing layout and crime, were direct connection between single house with housing access (direct connection increased crime), the depths of space (the deeper space created more secure), index axial connectivity (more scores of index - more crime vulnerability), and mixed use (more houses near facilities area created more secure – while less houses created more crime). Less factor were access (direct or indirect) to a single house, traffic jam, width of the road, and house position in row. Unrelated factors were access (direct or indirect) to Perumnas Air Putih & zone 1-4, adjacency of single house to road junction, linear row, and house facing direction.
