The world is under threat in recent years. There are wars between countries and violent cases in some schools. Those cases seriously affect human safety and community security around us. In order to maintain community sustainability, we need to know more about Sustainable Development Goals in the United Nations. Through taking a tour in our community, making the community map, the acquisition of the knowledge on the problems in the local community can help students secure the community safety and promote urban sustainability in the city in the future. The concept of community safety and security can be applied in our daily life. With this project, a prototype featuring information technology to solve this community safety or security problem needs to be designed and implemented in your community to see how effective it is to solve the problem.
