SOCIAL COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF CYCLING IN ALTERNATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSPORTATION SUITABLE TO URBAN FABRIC

Abstract

While cities are clearly under a great deal of pressure to restructure their economies in order to remain or become globally competitive, there is an emerging argument that economic development strategies that ignore social development and citizenship dimensions are not only shortsighted, but doomed to failure. Cities everywhere are struggling to develop strategic responses to vast and rapid economic changes brought about by globalization while mediating the social impact of economic change.

In recent years, cycling has taken attention of public as sustainable urban transport in consequence of reduction in private cars and urban air pollution, also by being beneficial to human health in the increasing chronical non-contagious diseases and increasing physical activities.

In this study, cycling in urban transportation have been studied by comparison as literature by exemplifying transportation to colleges in USA and cycling practices in bicycle culture tours at European Union countries and France. “Dumlupınar University Evliya Çelebi Cycle Road Project” planned in a university in Turkey for the first time and coordinated by me presented to and Ministry of Environment and Urbanization and after being accepted, put into practice with the cost efficiency data.

KENT DOKUSUNA UYGUN ALTERNATİF ÇEVRESEL ULAŞIMDA BİSİKLET KULLANIMININ SOSYAL FAYDA MALİYET ANALİZİ

Abstract

Kentler kendi ekonomilerini küresel rekabetçi olmasını sürdürmek için büyük bir yeniden yapılandırma baskısı altında iken, sosyal gelişim ve vatandaşlık boyutlarını gözardı ederek, ekonomik kalkınma stratejileri geliştirmeleri sadece kısa görüşlü değil, aynı zamanda başarısızlığa mahkum bir argümandır. Kentler her yerde ekonomik değişimin sosyal etkilerini tasarlama yaparlarken küreselleşmenin getirdiği geniş ve hızlı ekonomik değişimlere stratejik tepkiler geliştirmek için mücadele etmektedirler. Son yıllarda, özel otomobil yolculuğunun azaltılması ve kentsel hava kirliliğinin azaltılması yoluyla ilişkili yükünün azaltılması ile artan kronik bulaşıcı olmayan hastalık ve artan fiziksel aktivite ile önemli sağlık yararları nedeniyle bisiklet kullanımı sürdürülebilir bir ulaşım olarak kamuoyunun dikkatini çekmiştir. Bu çalışma da şehir içi ulaşımda bisiklet kullanımının Amerika’da üniversitelere ulaşımda, Avrupa Birliği Avrupa Şehirlerinde ve Fransa’da bisikletli kültür turlarında bisiklet kullanım uygulamaları karşılaştırma yapılarak literatür olarak incelenmiştir. Uygulama olarak Türkiye’de üniversite olarak ilk projelendirilen Çevre ve Şehircilik Bakanlığına sunulan ve kabul edilen proje koordinatörlüğünü yürüttüğüm Dumlupınar Üniversitesi Evliya Çelebi Bisiklet Yolu Projesi uygulaması maliyet verileri ile uygulama gerçekleştirilmiştir.
