CITY LOGISTICS: SAMPLE IMPLEMENTATION OF IZMIR CITY

CITY LOGISTICS: SAMPLE IMPLEMENTATION OF IZMIR CITY

Purpose- In spite of the rapidly growing population, especially in big cities due to different reasons (migration, employment and education opportunities etc.), the life areas and resources of the cities are depleted rapidly due to unplanned construction and unconscious use of resources. In order to leave more livable cities and habitats to future generations, the concept of sustainable cities is very important. In this study, city logistics was examined in terms of the concept of sustainability and the effect of sustainability on city logistics was focused. In the first study, a detailed literature on sustainable city was investigated.    Methodology- The questionnaire form, which consists of 150 participants who have been living in İzmir for at least ten years, has been answered. Statistical methods were used to evaluate the concept of sustainable city according to gender, age and educational status.  Findings- According to the results of the survey, the province of İzmir was examined in terms of a sustainable city; weaknesses and strengths were highlighted and solutions were proposed for the future. In addition, it was found that there was a significant difference in sustainable city perception according to education, age and gender. Conclusion- According to the results obtained within the scope of the study, solutions were proposed for the future. As a solution suggestion, the subway stations have been examined and it has been proposed to add Peron Separator Door Systems and to arrange the sensible floors according to the said system.
