(one blank line)
Key words: urban security, report, author's guide(about 20mm blank space)

1. PaperStandard A4 (210mm x 295mm) sheets should be used.
2. Font and font size
The title should be typed in upper and lower case letters in bold 18pt Times/Roman fonts as in thispaper. Author's name, affiliations, abstract and main text should be typed in plain 10.5pt Times/Roman fonts

heading. No blank line should be placed for the third level heading.
If a heading is longer than one line, indent it as follows:

Urban Safety and Security(3) Equations and symbols
All equations should be typed in high quality fonts. Each equation should be centered and identified
by a number in parentheses such as (1), (2), etc. placed flush with the right margin. At least one blank line
should be placed before and after each equation.

Lettering should be large enough to be legible.
Captions should be typed in lower case letters below the figures and the photographs and above thetables. Longer captions should be indented as follows:
Figure 1 How to deal with a caption longer than one line in a manuscript for Report of Research Center forUrban Safety and Security.
Figure 2 How to deal with a caption longer than one
line in a manuscript for Report of ResearchCenter for Urban Safety and Security.

(6) References
All references should be cited in the text and listed at the end of the paper in the following either way.
1. All references are numbered in the text in the order of appearance with right parenthesized numbers, justlike this1), 2), and listed in the order of the number. 2.
