In the years recently city planning projects have been confirmed sustainable high concentration on planning streets and pedestrian paths being the most prominent component of the urban structure in the city and these me and diverse departments link the city’s sectors and serve as a space for economic, service, and social activities. On the other hand, pedestrian traffic is an essential component of the various means of transportation within the city. Suffer cities in the Middle East and Arab cities in particular are neglecting pedestrian paths in the vital urban environment. Vehicle control mechanisms on roads, and changing the uses of pedestrian paths as result of encroaching on the sidewalks designated for pedestrians. Which leads to a weak level of safety and a lack of pedestrian protection, so itis assumed that there is a possibility to know the impact of the urban elements of pedestrian paths that provide protection And a sense of safety for pedestrians through advanced simulation programs (Any Logic 8.8.0 university researcher 2022, GIS 10.4) and the possibility of achieving safe. And comfortable paths for pedestrians by providing the elements affecting the provision of a safe environment. And the protection of pedestrians, we aim through sustainable planning to enhance the role of pedestrian paths, the separation between automatic mobility paths, And pedestrian paths, knowing the extent of the impact of the elements of pedestrian paths in achieving safety and protection for users (it must be noted that the feeling of safety is not limited to traffic accidents only, but also protection from weather conditions and its effects). As the descriptive analytical approach is adopted. In the research to identify the road elements in providing a safe environment for pedestrians and then study the relationship between those elements by analyzing the multiple regression of the parameter variables and their relationship to the independent variable (feeling of safety) for a sample questionnaire
