In recent years, motorization has gradually increased its pace in Ankara, which has the highest automobile ownership per capita level in Turkey. Considering recent increase in automobile number, this study deals with the need for parking spaces. Using neighbourhood level data, collected during Ankara Transportation Master Plan studies, parking space problem in Ankara metropolitan area has been spatialized by categorizing automobile ownership and street parking ratios into two groups, low and high levels. In parallel to motorization growth, spatialization of parking space problem in the near future is defined as problem areas, potential problem areas, and urgent problem areas with regard to urban fabric. Accordingly, parking policy recommendations are coupled for each problem area.

Yüce, Elif Can; Babalık, Ela; Department of City and Regional Planning (2013)
In Turkey, the only city that currently operates BRT is İstanbul. There are researches that focus on different BRT systems in the world, yet there has not been a comprehensive, systematic and comparative evaluation of the BRT experience in İstanbul. There seems to be an urgent need to study this BRT investment, with a particular focus on planning, operation and ridership characteristics with a comparative approach. This thesis analyses the BRT corridor in İstanbul and answers the question whether Metrobüs i...

Cetin, Ugur; Ince, Nurbanu; Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin; Savasaneril, Secil (2013-01-01)
In Turkey, municipalities provide a major portion of the city public transportation service. Since the service has to be provided potentially to every resident, and at a low price, municipalities are often left struggling with negative balance. This implies that operating under low cost is essential for survivability. We conduct a study to analyze the public bus transportation system in Ankara which is the capital city of Turkey. The analysis reveals that there exist inefficiencies in the service due to fle...
