Abstract:

Cities; As a result of direct / indirect and positive / negative effects caused by rapidly increasing population and development pressures, they seem to be an organism advancing by consuming natural resources and production areas. The effort to control cities through all its known aspects and through the means of planning means this complex and dynamic structure is insufficient as it involves life and mobility itself. In Turkey, as well as in the world of mobility it is perceived as car-oriented transportation based on the physical infrastructure. For this reason, planners, all relevant institutions / organizations and responsible people are in search of continuous solutions to the problems caused by increased vehicle mobility. The search for this solution has begun to be effective in Europe, especially in the 2000s. In the 2000s, a sustainable, integrated, flexible, intelligent and new planning approach has been adopted to improve the quality of life in European Union (EU) cities. During this period, European cities also came to face with urban transport problems, such as in Turkey and can not solve this problem of transportation master plans, the European Commission (EC) in 2009, the Urban Mobility Action Plan and Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans have been submitted to the solution of these problems as an alternative. In this article, Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans which are flexible, smart and new planning approach are evaluated in urban transportation. Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning, mobility-related concepts are discussed together with their Turkish counterparts, targeted development in Turkey Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan guide the original literature is pursued. In urban transportation, in the cities of the world, especially in the European continent, in the last quarter century, it is observed that Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans are researched and used together with an effective evaluation process in the analysis of urban transportation problems. In Turkey, unlike the modern understanding of urban transport it is understood that traditional transportation planning tools continued. The theoretical conclusion is that Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans are one of the most effective planning tools in urban transport. Of cities in Turkey; It should take care of the original Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan in the preparation, planning, implementation and monitoring processes and solve the problems related to transportation and thus increase the quality of urban life in this way.
