Abstract: Study of the influence of the Luminance ratio on crime prevention on pedestrian walkways for Thai people. From exploring the luminance standards of IESNA in the United States, the appropriate Luminance ratio is 4:1 (background: face). Still, a proper brightness ratio has yet to be found for Thai people. Therefore, an experiment was conducted using a light bulb with an adjustable brightness level projected onto people and the background for participants to answer a questionnaire to assess their feelings of perceived safety, pedestrian behaviour, and criminal identification. Laboratory tests were carried out at the Faculty of Architecture, Kasetsart University. The results of the study of luminance values were compared using ANOVA statistics. The study's results showed that a luminance ratio 5:1 was most appropriate for preventing crime on public sidewalks for Thai people.
