This study examines the risk factors that influence the optimization of risk management strategies in infrastructure projects through a quantitative survey of 31 professionals. The research highlights common risks, including poor planning, financial issues, and changes in client requirements, which significantly impact project schedules and budgets. Risk identification, assessment, and response practices were initially surveyed using a straightforward questionnaire that included rating scale items and space for open-ended comments. The collected data were then analyzed in SPSS, where a correlation was discovered between stakeholder engagement and risk responses. These findings suggest that effective risk management relies on early planning, evidence-based decision-making, and effective coordination. The study bridges theoretical frameworks with practical insights, offering recommendations for enhancing risk management strategies in infrastructure projects.
