Mikromobilite sistemleri son yıllarda dünyanın pek çok bölgesinde olduğu gibi ülkemizde de oldukça popüler olmaya başlamıştır. Mikromobilite sistemlerinin popülerliğinin artmasının ana nedenleri, artan araç paylaşım sistemleri, özellikle son kilometre ya da son mil olarak tanımlanan kısa mesafelerde ekonomik bir alternatif olması, trafik sıkışıklıklarından en alt düzeyde etkilenmesi ve bu sistemlerin çevre dostu olduğu algıları bulunmaktadır. Ancak bu düşünce ya da algıların ne kadar gerçeği yansıttığı üzerinde dikkatlice durulması gereken bir konudur. Mikromobilite sistemleri, özellikle zevkli bir kullanıma sahip olduğundan büyük oranda gençler tarafından oldukça popüler olmaya başlamış ulaşım türleridir. Ancak, güvenliği düşük, trafik sıkışıklıklarına çözüm sunamayan ve kamuoyunda oluşan genel algının aksine çevreye olumsuz etkileri olan bir alternatiftir. Yine de motorlu taşıtların yerine son kilometre ulaşımında tamamlayıcı bir ulaşım türü olarak kullanıldığında önemli ve olumlu bir ulaşım alternatifi sunmaktadır. Buna karşın, mikromobilite sistemlerinin etkinliğini belirlemek için sosyal fayda/maliyet analizleri gibi kapsamlı çalışmalar gerçekleştirilmeli, gerekirse bu sistemlerin kullanımına ilişkin önemli yasal düzenlemeler gerçekleştirilmelidir.

Micromobility – A Miraculous Solution to Transportation or a Disappointment?

Öz

Micromobility systems became very popular in Turkey as well as in many parts of the world in recent years. The main reasons for the increase in the popularity of micromobility systems are the increasing vehicle sharing systems, being an economical alternative especially in short distances defined as the last kilometer or last mile, being adversely affected by traffic jams at the lowest level and the perception of these systems being environmentally friendly. However, the extent to which these thoughts or perceptions reflect reality is an issue that should be carefully considered. Micromobility systems are modes of transportation that have become very popular, largely among youngsters as they have an enjoyable use. However, ther are alternatives that have low security, can not offer solutions to traffic jams, and have adverse effects on the environment, contrary to the general public perception. However, they offer an important and positive transportation alternative when used as a complementary mode of transportation in the last kilometer instead of motor vehicles. On the other hand, comprehensive studies such as social benefit/cost analyzes should be carried out to determine the effectiveness of micromobility systems, and important legal regulations should be made regarding the use of these systems.
