Abstract
This study analyzes various factors contributing to the non-use of seat belts in rear seats in Iran. The research findings indicate that issues such as insufficient awareness, cultural attitudes, weak law enforcement, and economic conditions are the main reasons for this problem. The recommendations in this study include strengthening education and awareness, improving the quality of seat belts, standardizing vehicles, and fostering inter-organizational collaboration to change societal behavior and increase compliance with traffic laws.
