We present an AR application for in-situ assessment of perceived safety in public spaces. In a field study, users annotated locations while the app captured contextual cues (e.g., lighting, crowding, visibility). Analyses reveal how AR prompts shape attention and reporting behavior, and identify environmental factors linked to safety perceptions. We discuss design implications for urban planning and wayfinding.
