Abstract: The improvement of pedestrian facilities is complex and it needs more in-depth study. For the improvement, it is required to prioritize the sidewalks first. Prioritization of sidewalks depends on many factors that are not yet consolidated according to their influence. A combined Delphi–analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methodology was applied to identify and rank the factors which influence the prioritization of sidewalks for pedestrian facility improvement in Indian cities. The results indicate that ‘Lighting’, ‘Maintenance and Cleanliness’ and ‘Crossing Facilities’ are the highest-ranked influential factors. The result will assist the planners in focusing on the critical aspects of pedestrian facilities improvement.
