Transportation systems are complex and multimodal, comprising diverse travel modes that often compete for limited roadway space. However, the diversity of these modes also generates varying levels of exposure and vulnerability, particularly among pedestrians, who represent the most at-risk group of road users. This study investigates the determinants of Pedestrian Safety (PS) within the Bangkok Metropolitan Region (BMR), focusing on behavioral, and environmental risk factors. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to 1,120 participants who had encountered potentially hazardous situations while walking. Ordinal logistic regression was used to examine the multifaceted influences shaping pedestrian risk behaviors across three user groups: (1) the general pedestrian population, (2) predominant pedestrian mode users, and (3) individuals with prior pedestrian accident experiences. The findings reveal that physical environmental characteristics and perceived behavioral control, particularly the availability and condition of pedestrian-supportive facilities have significant effects on risk-related behaviors. These results highlight the need for a comprehensive and context-sensitive approach to understanding pedestrian risk and for developing targeted interventions and strategic plans aimed at preventing pedestrian-related crashes in rapidly urbanizing environments
