CPTED approach that addresses crime prevention through environmental design is an efficient theory used to enhance environmental safety. Humans are always interacting with the environment. The territory is a part of the environment with which we are connected. Secondary territories that mainly have group ownership and collective application are more seen in schools. The following questions have been raised regarding the purpose of the study which is addressing the nexus between components and indicators of environmental safety and secondary territory in educational environments: 1) which factors in the design of secondary territories of educational spaces affect the enhanced environmental safety? 2) what is the nexus between environmental safety indicators and secondary territory indicators in increasing environmental safety and security? This is applied research in which, the survey method is used. The data have been collected from the studied books and papers written about this topic using a researcher-made questionnaire. Sample size has been measured based on the Cochrane formula and computations have been done through SPSS software. The reliability of the questionnaire was examined through Cronbach's alpha, which equaled 0.8. Moreover, the indicators were ranked at the final step by using the Friedman test. The results indicated that the interaction index in secondary territories had the highest impact on the sense of safety among students.
