EXAMINATION OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC AND SPATIAL EFFECTS OF THE IZMIR METRO SYSTEM

Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to examine the demographic changes along with the spatial change and development occurring around the Izmir Metro system and to examine the place of planning practice. In this context, the plan amendments made within the 1000-meter impact area of the metro line and the demographic and environmental effects created in the whole city were examined and the relationship between them and the construction of the metro line was analyzed. As a result of the analysis and research, it was found that the metro line did not have a significant effect on the population and density changes in the neighborhoods, no significant changes occurred except for the Kazımdirik district, and the plan amendments continued on individual demands and that comprehensive changes did not occur. A statistically significant relationship at 0.10 level was found between the accessibility of the neighborhoods to metro stations and the plan amendments. In order for rail systems to cause meaningful changes in space, the integration and coordination of planning and transportation practices are extremely important. One of the important results of the study is that the level of the relationship between planning and transportation practices is directly related to the meaningful, feasible and plannable effects of transportation investments on space. This study is part of the master thesis conducted by Dokuz Eylul University the Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences and was presented in the International Symposium on Social Sciences and Educational Sciences (USVES).

İZMİR METRO SİSTEMİ’NİN ÇEVRESİNDE MEYDANA GELEN DEMOGRAFİK VE MEKÂNSAL ETKİLERİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın temel amacı İzmir Metro sistemi çevresinde meydana gelen mekânsal değişim ve gelişimle birlikte demografik değişimlerin incelenmesi ve planlama pratiğinin yerinin irdelenmesidir. Bu kapsamda metro hattının 1000 metrelik etki alanı içinde gerçekleştirilen plan tadilatları ve kent bütününde yarattığı demografik ve çevresel etkiler incelenmiş, metro hattının inşasıyla aralarındaki ilişki analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan analiz ve araştırma sonucunda metro hattının mahallelerdeki nüfus ve yoğunluk değişimleri üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olmadığı, Kazımdirik mahallesi haricinde anlamlı değişimlerin meydana gelmediği ve yapılan plan tadilatlarının tekil talepler üzerinden devam ederek kapsamlı değişimlerin meydana gelmediği bulunmuştur. Mahallelerin metro duraklarına erişilebilirliğiyle gerçekleştirilen plan tadilatları arasında istatistiksel açıdan 0,10 düzeyinde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Raylı sistemlerin mekânda anlamlı değişimlere sebep olabilmesi için planlama ve ulaşım pratiklerinin entegrasyonu ve eşgüdümlü çalışması son derece önemlidir. Planlama ve ulaşım pratiklerinin aralarındaki ilişkinin düzeyi yapılan ulaşım yatırımlarının mekânda yarattığı etkilerin anlamlı, gerçekleştirilebilir ve planlanabilir olmasıyla doğrudan ilişkili olduğu da çalışmanın önemli sonuçlarından biridir. Bu çalışma Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü’nde tamamlanan yüksek lisans tezinden üretilmiş olup; aynı zamanda Uluslararası Sosyal Bilimler ve Eğitim Bilimleri Sempozyumu’nda (USVES) bildiri olarak sunulmuştur.
