Determination of transportation networks base on the optimal public transportation policy using spatial and network analysis methods: a case of the Konya, Turkey

Abstract

Public transportation planning is one of the most important parts of transportation planning and it provides sustainable development for cities. According to only demands of citizen’s and decisions of city managers obstruct for public transportation planning also taking policy in the long time period. Citizen’s demands and city manager’s decisions important factors in transportation planning but the other important factors; city’s and citizen’s characteristic features. Relational structure to be determining between spatial and network analysis with these features, according to these situation necessary making transportation policies. The purposes of this paper are to determinate of transportation networks base on the optimal public transportation polices using spatial and network analysis methods of an urbanized city: Konya, Turkey.
