the differences through interpretation of the research’s objectives. The findings are; firstly, the participation of all sectors promotes the conglomeration and engagement in community service of all relevant stakeholders both in terms of common areas and shared issues. The participation process of self-management within a community must stem from people's sense of belonging to a community and realizing the importance of their involvement in the brainstorming and decision process in order to shape their future based on their own desires and expectations. Therefore, the participation process is a process that requires people's collaboration in organizing and planning in every step. This may include having social development workers or academics from external agencies or organizations support the locals in many aspects. Secondly, the installation of the CCTV cameras to protect lives and property, from the perspective of the private sector, can help reduce theft since there will be visual and audio evidence, needed to pursue prosecution of offenders. This can deter calculating individuals from committing crimes of theft. The CCTV cameras will record any movements and activities in and around business premises and enhance organization and efficiency.
