The first part of an article refers to the concepts of safety as well as its differentiation and various definitions. The author suggests his own definition of safety in sociological terms. The second part of the article presents an attempt to define relations between the spatial structure of the urban areas and the sense of safety. According to the analysis of the police crime statistics for period 2004-2006, the author shows that the safety of the citizens depends on the size of the urban area. In the further part of the paper, the presentation of research results was given. Presented results of the research point out the whole range of relations between the port town space structure and the safety of its citizens.

Immeasurable symbolic values of a local space constitute the basis and motive for designing mental maps. Mental maps consist of universal elements (e.g. communication paths, area borders) and particular geographical categories (e.g. world directions, known and characteristic towns). The latter are the centre of connotations, and the source of metaphors for characterising local cultural areas at the level of mental maps. The analysis of Bielsko-Biała reveals representations of this town as Manchester, Vienna, and Berlin, as well as the representations of the fragments of spaces of other town such as Paris and New York. In each scale and in each case, mental maps reflect the socio-cultural characteristic of the local space.
