Çok İşlevli Sokak Tasarımı Kavramlarının Bütünleştirilmesi: Kayışdağı Caddesi Üzerine Bir Örnek Çalışma

Öz

Caddeler; kentlerin yaşanılabilirliğine katkıda bulunan bir sosyal, ekonomik ve fiziksel faaliyetler ağıdır. Başarılı kent caddeleri, insanları ve eşyaları bir yerden bir yere taşımanın ötesinde birçok işleve sahiptir. Şehirlerin en az %20-30'u, bakımı ve geliştirilmesi gereken devasa bir altyapı olan caddelerden oluşmaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra iklim değişikliği, biyoçeşitlilik kayıpları, sağlık sorunları ve toplulukların refahı ile ilgili çağdaş kentsel zorlukların üstesinden gelmeye katkıda bulunma potansiyeline sahiptirler. Günümüzde bu çok sayıda işlevi yerine getirebilmeleri için farklı cadde tasarım stratejileri ortaya konulmaktadır. Bu yenilikçi yaklaşımlar sadece trafik altyapıları değil aynı zamanda canlı ve kapsayıcı kamusal alanlar, ekonomik kalkınmayı teşvik, ekosistem hizmetlerini destekleyen ekolojik koridorlar ve sokak ve trafik aydınlatması, elektrik enerjisi, sinyalizasyon vb. dahil olmak üzere teknik altyapıları da kapsamaktadır. Bütünleşik caddeler, yeşil caddeler, sağlıklı caddeler ve caddeler için mekan yaratma hareketi gibi yaklaşımlar cadde planlaması ve tasarımı ile ilgili sorunları ele almak için geliştirilmiş kavramsal fikirler ve girişimlerdir ve her birinin kendi odak noktası ve tanımları bulunmaktadır. Bu makalede, dört farklı güncel cadde tasarımı yaklaşımları ele alınmakta ve hızla büyüyen bir üniversite bölgesi olma özelliğiyle çalışma alanı olarak seçilen Kayışdağı Caddesi'nde bu yaklaşımların temel ilkeleri örnek alınarak tasarım önerileri sunulmaktadır.

Integrating Multifunctional Street Design Concepts: A Case Study of Kayışdağı Street

Öz

Streets are a network of social, economic, and physical activities that contribute to the vitality of neighborhoods. Successful urban streets have multiple functions beyond simply moving people and goods from place to place. At least 20-30% of cities are made up of streets, a huge infrastructure that needs to be maintained and developed. They have the potential to help address today's urban challenges related to climate change, biodiversity loss, health problems, and well-being. Different street design strategies are presented as a response to these challenges, as they can fulfill this multitude of functions; they are not only transport infrastructures, but also lively and inclusive public spaces, carriers of economic development, ecological corridors supporting ecosystem services, and lines of technical infrastructure including street and traffic lighting, electrical power, signalization, etc. Complete Streets, Green Streets, Healthy Streets, and Place Making and Streets are all concepts and initiatives that have evolved to address issues related to the planning and design of street environments, each with its own focus and definitions. This article introduces the current approaches to street design and proposes to integrate principles from each of the four concepts into Kayışdağı Street in Istanbul. It is selected as a case study to improve existing university districts' services and build new neighborhoods as the population grows exponentially.
