Abstract
This study presents definitions of spatial order. The relationships between spatial order and spatial security are discussed. The types of constituent elements of space and the options of modifying those elements with the use of GIS tools are described. The paper presents maps and map scales, and the methodology for selecting the applicable scale. Vector and raster graphic methods for developing GIS reports are discussed. The impact of spatial elements on the possible occurrence of threats and their scope has been also determined. The study indicates which elements should receive the greatest attention in the process of creating secure space.
