Abstract

Cycling is a form of travel with many positive features such as making the transportation system of the 21st century green, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions, leading a healthy life, supporting healthy transportation that during the COVID 19 pandemics The aim of the study has been determined as the examination of the decisions to be taken at the planning and design scale in the integration process of bicycle lanes, which are attached to urban transportation, through an applied sample project. As the study area, Canada-Nova Scotia Province, Halifax city, South Park Street area was chosen. The scope of the study was structured in three stages. First, the places where the design forms are applied and their positive features are discussed. In the secondly, evaluation criteria were included for the selection of three different bicycle path projects developed by Halifax municipality. In the third stage, the positive and negative aspects of the applied design for the user were determined and analyzed on site. At the end of the study, the planning and design process of a current and international application was evaluated. Basic decision suggestions that can be used in process management to create bicycle paths in Turkey are presented.

Kent İçi Ulaşımına Entegre Edilen Bisiklet Yolu Tasarımı ve Uygulaması: Kanada/Halifax Kenti Korumalı Bisiklet Yolları Örneği

Abstract

Bisikletler 21. yüzyılın ulaşım sistemini yeşil kılmak, enerji tüketimini ve karbon salınımını azaltmak, sağlıklı yaşam sürmek ve COVID 19 pandemi sürecinde sağlıklı ulaşımı destekler nitelikte olması gibi pek çok olumlu özelliğe sahip bir seyahat şekli olarak görülmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı, kent içi ulaşımına eklemlenen bisiklet yollarının entegrasyon sürecinde, planlama ve tasarım ölçeğinde alınması gereken kararların uygulanmış örnek bir proje üzerinden incelenmesi olarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışma alanı olarak Kanada-Nova Scotia Eyaleti, Halifax kenti, South Park Street bölgesi seçilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamı üç aşamalı olarak kurgulanmıştır. İlk olarak, bisiklet yolları ve bağlantı noktaları için geliştirilen tasarım biçimlerinin uygulandığı yerler ve olumlu özellikleri ele alınmıştır. İkinci aşamada Halifax belediyesinin geliştirmiş olduğu üç farklı bisiklet yolu projesinin seçimi için değerlendirme kriterlerine yer verilmiş ve Halifax belediyesi ile halkın katılımcı yönüne vurgu yapılmıştır. Üçüncü aşamada, uygulanan tasarımın kullanıcı için sağlamış olduğu olumlu ve olumsuz yönler alan çalışması yapılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonunda güncel ve yurtdışında yapılan bir uygulamanın planlama ve tasarım süreci değerlendirilmiştir. Türkiye’de mevcut kent içi ulaşımına entegre edilecek bisiklet yolları oluşturmak için süreç yönetiminde kullanılabilecek temel karar önerileri sunulmuştur. Trafik sıkışıklığının büyük sorun haline geldiği günümüz büyük şehirlerinde, bisiklet kullanımının alternatif ve güvenli bir ulaşım türü olması nedeniyle konunun önemine dikkat çekilmek istenmiştir.
