The Zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, is a financial resource for Islamic states in addition to taxes. Given the importance of Zakat funds for the economy and society, Zakat collection and distribution institutions have been established. This chapter was interested in the behavior of individuals in setting up a Zakat institution in the Tunisian context. The authors have studied the factors that affect the intention to pay Zakat to Zakat institutions. To do this, a questionnaire was administered to 100 people. The authors obtain three types of information: attitude towards Zakat, attitude towards institutions, and information related to the intention to pay Zakat to Zakat institutions. The authors have estimated by the binary logit model the relationship between the intention to pay Zakat to Zakat institutions and four factors: trust, quality of service, proximity, and the level of understanding of the Zakat principles. Three of them are significant.

Pedestrian safety has become a serious problem with the rapid growth of motorised vehicle in transportation system in developing counties. Pedestrians often respond differently to changes in surrounding and traffic conditions. A study was undertaken to investigate pedestrians’ gap acceptance and the parameters affecting their risk-taking behaviours based on time-to-collision and post-encroachment-time indexes. Three signalised intersections and two midblock crossings were selected in Qazvin, Iran. A total of 752 pedestrians were examined by video recording and field observation, and pedestrians’ gap acceptance behaviour was estimated by using binary logit model. Results showed that the average time to collision and post-encroachment time were 4.27 s and 1.44 s, respectively. In addition, the presence of children alongside the older pedestrians led to a less risk-taking crossing. Additionally, pedestrian risk-taking was reduced by increasing both time indexes. Rainy weather also reduced pedestrians’ risk-taking behaviour. Elasticity analysis indicated that parameters such as pedestrians’ conflict with vehicles at the first or second half of the crossings, walking with a child, speed of the approaching vehicle, the crossing type and running while crossing were the most important factors in pedestrian risk-taking.
