Recent studies on campus walkability have focused on understanding the factors that contribute to walkability and the impact it has on student life, health, and overall campus sustainability. This study explores the factors encouraging walkability among students at the Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) campus in Bachok, Kelantan. The research employs both quantitative and qualitative methods to gain comprehensive insights into the determinants of pedestrian activity. Quantitative data were collected through a survey distributed to 300 students at UMK Bachok Campus using purposive sampling. The data collection period spanned from May 2024 to June 2024 and were analysed by using SPSS 28.0. Findings from exploratory factor analysis indicate that there are three main factors that encourage the walkability among students in the campus, i) Pedestrian Safety and Comfort, ii) Pedestrian and Cyclist Infrastructure, and iii) Amenities and Environmental Factors. These factors collectively promote a secure, pleasant, and inclusive environment that motivates students to walk more. The study concludes with recommendations for campus planners and policymakers to further enhance walkability, thereby fostering a healthier, more sustainable, and connected campus environment in Bachok, Kelantan.
