Course Objective
Today, the development of civilizations and the realization of activities aiming at human beings can only be realized with a good transportation system. Transportation does not only contribute to economic efficiency and benefit by bringing business areas closer to each other, but also engages planners' agendas with various adverse effects, especially air and noise pollution. Urban population in Turkey increases faster than anticipated; planners often lead to the subsequent planning of transport in uneven and unplanned structured areas, which reveals the need for a high degree of planing equipment for transport. In this context, the aim of the course is to introduce transportation discipline to planner candidates, to introduce basic information, concepts, basic principles of transportation planning and preliminary information about process, current problems, approach and solution proposals by establishing relations with related fields. In this process; students are expected to be able to comment on the existing transportation system, to make decisions and to develop solutions.
