Description:

The aim of the research is to examine the relationship between situational crime prevention and road safety, with a specific focus on environmental factors and pedestrian safety. The research endeavors to develop a model that aids in identifying risk factors and their underlying causes within the traffic environment. The model analyzes the built environment, accident statistics, and legal regulations, with particular emphasis on pedestrians. Current police methods, campaigns, and responses to pedestrian safety issues are also analyzed. According to the WHO report, millions of individuals lose their lives in road accidents annually, predominantly pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. Environmental criminology and situational crime prevention offer approaches that analyze the interplay between human behavior and environmental factors, thereby enhancing road safety. The situational prevention method can be effectively applied to enhance road safety, considering the combined influence of various factors in the occurrence of traffic accidents.
