The rise of gender equality awareness in recent years together with the frequency of campus incidents have made establishing a “Friendly Campus” a major focus in the world of education. When it comes to creating a feeling of security, the design and planning of the campus environment plays an important role. This study focuses on current women university students’ perception of security on campus, including needs and limitations both mental and physical. The issue of women’s safety on campus is explored through a review of existing literature from a psychological and behavioral perspective. A survey was conducted to discover differences in how women university students perceived safety on campus and identify what types of spaces were considered unsafe. In the analysis, SPSS10.5 was used for the descriptive analysis of the sample data. One-way ANOVA examined how different women university students perceived each factor then the three variables of “Department”, “Space Type” and “Factor” were subjected to cross analysis and two-way ANOVA. This identified what women university students from different departments considered to be unsafe spaces and factors. Based on this information, suggestions for improvements could be proposed and a map drawn up of the safe areas on campus. The results showed that: 1.The most important safety factor was “Space Illumination” showing that for women university students the amount of visual lighting perceived had a direct effect on their feeling of safety. 2.For the China University of Technology, the safety on hillside paths is affected by factors such as the surrounding trees, the high level of cover available, and unofficial surveillance and fixed surveillance systems. These factors make them the area on campus where students feel least safe. 3.In the survey, among fixed variables such as “Day/Night Program”, “Two-Year College, Four Year College, Two Year Junior College and Five Year Junior College”, “Department” and “Weekly Attendance” it was discovered that “Difference in Department” had the most significance on measured differences in perception of “Risk Factors on the Campus of the China University of Technology”.
