Yaman, Yusuf Cem
Transport and urban development are in a constant interaction with each other. Hence, urban planning and transport planning should be carried out in integration and coordination. Best practice cases in the world reveal that this integrated and coordinated approach should be established from regional plans to metropolitan and urban plans. When strong integration is maintained, transport investments can become effective tools in helping realize urban and regional plan strategies. Within this framework, the thesis reviews policy documents and legislations in Turkey in terms of integrated planning of regional/urban and transport plans. Gaziantep case is analyzed in detail within the same perspective.

This study aims to identify the factors that influence the development of Ankara’s urban transport system and to assess the effects of influencing groups and actors (referred to as assemblages in this study) on urban and transportation development of Eskişehir Road Corridor in relation with economic development, political decisions, institutional and legal frameworks. The thesis adopts a multi-level analysis method for researching influencing developments and assemblage relationships shaping urban transport...

Ardıç, Sabiha İrem; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Department of Architecture (2021-2-08)
The complexity of the built environment and the number of components acting upon the cities are increasing and in constant transformation. Analyzing the quality of urban spaces is becoming difficult due to the scale andlevel of interconnectivity between urban data. However, advances in technologies, particularly in computational urban analytics methods, have the potential to facilitate the collection, measurement, and analysis of urban metrics relevant to urban design.

The Increasing role of regional rail system in urban transport: the case of İZBAN in İzmir
Üçüncüoğlu, Cevat; Babalık, Ela; Department of City and Regional Planning (2014)
The rapid increase in population and spatial growth of cities result in ever-increasing travel distances for urban transport. While urban rail systems, such as metro and LRT systems, are often considered to provide fast and effective service for metropolitan areas, regional rail systems, as a modernized version of commuter railways, appear to be the most effective way of providing fast services for the mobility needs of such long-distance daily travels in the world. In Turkey too spatial growth is a major c...
Integration of public transport services: the case of Istanbul
Gür, Aslıhan; Babalık, Ela; Department of City and Regional Planning (2019)
One of the most important policy and action areas in urban transport planning is the improvement of public transport with a view to increase its usage. Public transport is the most effective way of meeting increasing mobility needs in urban areas. It can provide long-distance journeys that may be difficult to travel via walking and biking. In the face of increasing car usage, it also ensures the most efficient use of space (i.e. transport infrastructure) and hence can help relieve congestion, which is a con...
Traffic assignment in transforming networks case study : Ankara
Zorlu, Fikret; Türel, Ali; Department of City and Regional Planning (2006)
This study investigates the relevance of dynamic traffic assignment models under uncertainty. In the last years researchers have dealt with advanced traffic control systems since road provision is not regarded as a proper solution to relieve congestion. Dynamic assignment which is an essential component of investment planning is regarded as a new research area in the field of urban transportation. In this study the performance of dynamic traffic assignment method, which incorporates time dependent flow, is ...
