The paper presents a smart bike sharing system proposal with intent to promote cycling for tourists as a sightseeing trip in the Historical Peninsula of Istanbul, where high population, inadequate road infrastructure and traffic congestion make the mobility difficult. Cycling offers an alternative sustainable transportation mode to overcome these mobility challenges; it presents low cots and active mobility to the individuals, and also improves the spatial experience with urban environment. The aim of the study is to promote the use of bikes for improving visitors' (tourists) perception of the urban environment by considering bicycle demand. The research concentrates on (1) how to perform more effective bike sharing system, which is able to respond to traffic condition, and (2) adjust the bike capacity according to in user demand. The smart bike sharing system, presented in this study, consists of; 1) bike route, 2) bike use mobile application and 3) bike sharing model stages. In bike-sharing modeling process, we employ agent based modeling as decision support system. In the scope of the study, the model is evaluated through a test case that is designed by randomly selected bike park spots and terminal locations. The results showed that there is an association between bicycle demand and the number and location of biycyle facilities (bike park spots and terminals). The presented bike sharing system offers a navigation map for the visitors unfamiliar with the area and a dynamic model proposal that responds flexibly to user needs. The developed dynamic bicycle system is expected to increase the user satisfaction and thus the use of bicycles by reducing the bicycle waiting time of the users. ÖzÇalışma, İstanbul'un Tarihi Yarımada Bölgesi'nde özellikle tarihi çevreye erişim zorluğu, trafik problemi ve nüfusun fazla olması ziyaretçilerin bölgeyi deneyimlemesi açısından sorun oluşturması sebebiyle, bölgede kullanıcılar için akıllı bisiklet paylaşım sistemi önermektedir. Sürdürülebilir ulaşım aracı olarak bisiklet kullanımı bölgede hareketlilik kaynaklı sorunların çözülmesini sağlayabilir. Bisiklet kullanımı kullanıcıya düşük maliyetli ve sağlıklı erişim imkanı sunarken, aynı zamanda kullanıcının kentsel mekanı diğer ulaşım araçlarına göre daha iyi algılamasını ve deneyimlemesini sağlar. Çalışmanın amacı bölgede bisikletin ulaşım aracı olarak kullanılarak ziyaretçilerin kentsel çevreyi daha iyi algılamasını sağlamak amacıyla değişken bisiklet kullanım talebini göz önüne alarak bisiklet kullanımını arttıracak yöntemler geliştirmektir. Önerilen bisiklet paylaşım sistemi; (1) trafik durumuna ve kullanıcı isteklerine uygun, kullanıcı ile etkileşimli en etkin bisiklet ulaşımının nasıl gerçekleştirileceği ve (2) kullanım durumuna göre mevcut bisiklet terminallerinde park ve bisiklet talebinin en uygun nasıl belirlenebileceği soruları üzerinden geliştirilmiştir. Akıllı bisiklet paylaşım systemi; 1) bisiklet rotasının tanımlanması, 2) bisiklet kullanım uygulaması ve 3) bisiklet paylaşım modeli tasarımı aşamalarından oluşmaktadır...
This paper focuses on the vibrancy of urban environments in the context of liveability. The objective is to explore the interrelationships of activity determinants what attracts visitors to support vibrancy decisions. The research questions how to uncover the relationships among vibrancy parameters and how to utilize the relation network for decision support. We utilize Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) for relational analysis and support with expert participation for an efficient decision-making. In this way, we expect to develop a causal by calibrating the data-driven BBN network. The results show that the user density has direct relationship with public open space, place rate, activity diversity, landmarks' visitation rate cultural attributes, and accessibility; indirect relationship with time diversity, activity diversity and density. The results support the arguments on the importance of activity diversity in space and time, and intense urban pattern within the attractiveness public spaces for urbanity.
