Summary
This paper addresses the critical issue of pedestrian safety in Malaysia, where pedestrians represent the third-highest category of traffic accident involvement. The research is motivated by the high incidence of pedestrian fatalities and injuries, often caused by the lack of usage of designated crossing facilities and careless crossing behaviors. The authors aim to understand and predict pedestrian behavioral intentions regarding the use of safe crossing facilities, such as crosswalks, overpasses, and underpasses, to mitigate these risks. To achieve this, the study employs an Extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework. While traditional TPB includes attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, this study extends the model by incorporating perceived consequence and perceived safety as additional constructs. The methodology involves a quantitative survey using a self-administered questionnaire with a seven-point Likert scale. Data collection is planned for pedestrians in school, residential, and shopping complex areas in Kluang and Batu Pahat, Johor. The study utilizes stratified random sampling, targeting a sample size of 300 respondents to meet the requirements for Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The analytical approach includes descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using SPSS and AMOS software to test the hypothesized relationships between the constructs and the intention to engage in safe crossing behavior. The paper outlines six specific hypotheses proposing that attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, perceived consequence, and perceived safety are positively related to the intention of safe crossing, which in turn influences actual safe crossing behavior. However, the text indicates that this is a methodological proposal for ongoing research. The authors state that the questionnaire has been designed and a pilot study will be conducted to assess internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha, but the actual data collection, hypothesis testing, and final results are not yet completed or reported in this document. The significance of this work lies in its potential to provide a comprehensive behavioral model for predicting pedestrian actions. By integrating engineering concerns with behavioral science theories, the study aims to identify significant predictors of safe crossing intentions. The findings are expected to inform transportation planners and engineers on how to better design and utilize crossing facilities, ultimately contributing to interventions that reduce pedestrian-vehicle conflicts and improve road safety in Malaysia.
