Abstract
The research of the Pedestrian Walkways Model for the City Nucleus of Bangkok presents a criteria for creating an infrastructure based on people's engagement in expressing their opinions and requirements for example, adequate pedestrian width, safety when walking on the sidewalk, the cleanliness of the pavement and shady environment. This research uses qualitative research, observation procedures, and collecting data from 400 sets of multiple choice questionnaires for documentary studies to analyze fundamental data. This study shows that people's needs can be divided into 3 groups: 1) The safety of pedestrians which concern on install a crossing signal for maximum safety, 2) The environment of pedestrians which concern on appropriate cleaning policy for pedestrian walkways, and 3) The comfort of pedestrians which concern on utilities should be maintained in a systematic manner. Even in most developing nations, typical pedestrian walkway designs and the concept of involvement in expressing attitudes and needs not only respond to demand use but may also maintain political stability.
