Safety Audits in DLF phase II, Gurgaon
These safety audits were done using the SafetiPin mobile safety app. In the audits done for DLF phase II, Gurgaon, we have marked the area from IFFCO chowk to Sikandarpur Metro station, extending till Shyam Chowk on the Delhi-Jaipur highway. This border covers the residential areas of Phase II and main roads on its circumference. We have 137 audit points inside the residential area and main roads, with most audits done after dark (6-10pm).
Major Findings

From our safety audits done, it was seen that Light and Security are two areas that needs improvement in DLF Phase 2. The graph below indicates the score of each safety audit parameter on a scale of 0-3 (0 being the least and 3 being the maximum)  
Comparing the feeling of safety with various parameters, it was found that security, availability of public transport, walk path and visibility were the factors that contribute the most to the feeling of safety of people.
On security, specifically, it was noted that though private security was available on few streets, the DLF guards were absent on most of the entry/exit points.
