The study’s primary objective is to investigate stakeholders’ roles in paving safer walks to school for children in Malaysia using Net-Maps. Net-Map, a systematic and interactive participatory technique, is employed to visualize and analyse complex social networks, aiding in the identification of key stakeholders and influential individuals. By leveraging this methodology, the study identifies crucial stakeholders essential for assessing the feasibility of walking to school in Malaysia. This approach enhances collaboration among stakeholders with diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise, contributing to shared objectives in improving pedestrian safety. The study found that government and political support, adequate budget allocation, and prioritizing safety are critical factors in advancing walking-to-school initiatives. Active stakeholder participation in decision-making is essential for securing their endorsement, which is vital for the successful implementation of these projects. Engaging stakeholders early ensures that safety measures are effectively implemented and sustained. Involving stakeholders in decision-making helps tailor policies to the unique needs of different regions in Malaysia, ensuring resources are efficiently allocated where they are most needed.
