The working method of Facility Management (FM) covers the entire operation of the "Facilities", which are properties, buildings and infrastructures in enterprises, organizations and public bodies. It is based on the model by Michael Porter which differentiates between primary and supporting processes. FM is the professional coordination and leadership of these supporting processes. Moreover, FM is responsible for the entire life cycle of properties, buildings and infrastructure: this begins with the usage requirements and goes beyond the planning, construction or the acquisition, operation, refurbishment and decommission to the restructuring.

The field "Urban Security" focuses on the architectural design, the infrastructural supply, the social structure and user patterns in urban areas and built structures and examines how these aspects affect opportunities for crime and deviance.
In " criminological social space analysis" the relationship between spatial structures and the subjective perception of safety is examined in order to support crime preventive recommendations and to foster the consideration of safety aspects in future urban planning and architectural projects at an early stage in the planning phase.
