Security has transcended its traditional confines and evolved into a multifaceted social and cultural concern, extending beyond the exclusive purview of the state. 

Professionals in fields such as social sciences, technology, and urban planning now play pivotal roles as developers of security theories with new concepts. The growing scientific and intellectual interest in security and peace issues serves as an indicator for societal progress and national development. 

Building on this, the booklet delves into the concepts of security and peace through the lens of social sciences, offering a simplified analysis of scientific and security matters. It explores global schools of thought on security and peace, delving into their primary theories, as well as examining economic security, environmental security, and the five dimensions of security. These dimensions revolve around safeguarding social and cultural identity against the influences of globalization and information flow, achieved through communication and technological means.

Additionally, the booklet addresses crime prevention in urban planning, highlighting the role of city planning and building design in reshaping individual lifestyles and their impact on personal and public safety, new smart cities, and environmental and societal health. Emphasizing the role of social sciences in bridging security gaps, the booklet offers non-specialist readers a simplified exploration of scientific issues, cultivating 'security thinking' as a general cultural paradigm that aligns with the developments in society, technology, and urban planning.
