The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Variations in perceptions of danger, fear and preference in a simulated natural environment (2010, background): “A consistent negative relationship has emerged between perceived danger and preference in urban environments (e.g. Blöbaum & Hunecke, 2005; Fisher & Nasar, 1992; Herzog & Flynn-Smith, 2001; Herzog & Miller, 1988; Nasar & Fisher, 1993).”
Fear Perceptions in Public Parks (2013, background): “In past research, campus areas identified as fearful had greater concealment (weighted by distance from the path; Nasar, Fisher, & Grannis, 1993), more hiding places (Blöbaum & Hunecke, 2005; Nasar & Jones, 1997), and hiding places with poor visual access from walking paths (Nasar & Fisher, 1993).”
The effect of information and values on acceptability of reduced street lighting (2014, methodology): “Based on the above we propose the following hypotheses: Hypothesis 1 First, we aim to replicate findings from previous research (Blöbaum & Hunecke, 2005; Boomsma & Steg, in press).”
Feeling Safe in the Dark (2014, methodology): “Although expressed by a different pattern, this result is similar to what Blöbaum and Hunecke (2005) found for perceived social safety: Acceptability was highest when lighting levels are high in a setting offering opportunities to escape (i.e., low entrapment).”
