Abstract
The research aims to study: 1) the general conditions of public awareness, legal enforcement, consciousness-raising, community involvement, and pedestrian safety measures, and 2) the influence of public awareness, legal enforcement, consciousness-raising, and community involvement on pedestrian safety measures. The research uses both quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative study collected data from 174 respondents using questionnaires and employed path analysis for direct and indirect relationships. The qualitative study involved in-depth interviews and field notes with 11 pedestrians in the area around Ramkhamhaeng University. Results related to the first research objective reveal that more than half of the target population of pedestrians around Ramkhamhaeng University perceives the current pedestrian safety measures as inadequate. For the second research objective, the findings indicate that consciousness-raising has the most direct influence on pedestrian safety measures, while public awareness has the greatest overall and indirect influence on pedestrian safety measures.
