Abstract

Introduction: Although disorders of drivers constitutes an important portion of traffic disorder but pedestrians also have a considerable role in traffic violations, a role which has gone unnoticed for the most part. Pedestrians have a significant role in traffic system and they are usually the most vulnerable unit in traffic events. The importance of provision of traffic regulations by the pedestrians, for promoting of traffic system, is not deniable because pedestrians are the most users of streets and have a considerable share in traffic accidents. It is clear that pedestrian's traffic behaviors is one of the most important reasons that endanger their own lives. Pedestrian's disorder is an important social problem, which causes traffic chaos and accidents. Therefore, paying attention to them as one of the major causes and victims of traffic disorders is necessary. For explaining pedestrian's disorder, a large number of factors could be involved. Based on the social capital theory, it appears that there is a significant relationship between social capital and pedestrians' tendency towards disorder. In general, social capital is a capacity for collective action based on trust, norms and networks. Increased social capital can 'reduce operating costs of organizations. According to Putnam and Fukuyama, increase in social capital, if other variable are equal, will reduce the amount of deviation. As a result, the erosion of social capital can explain traffic disorder as a deviant behavior. In addition, it seems that there is a significant relationship between awareness toward traffic regulations and pedestrians' tendency towards disorder. Ogburne believed that cultural behaviors take time to catch up with technological innovations, and social problems are caused by this lag. On the basis of Ogburne's theory, we can say that today, because of increasing technological innovations in traffic areas, pedestrians, particularly in developing countries, have not been able to adapt to these technological innovations. Relying on Ogburne theory, one of the basic assumptions of this study is that increasing of pedestrians' awareness toward traffic regulations can reduce traffic disorder on their behalf.
