PRIORITIZATION OF INTEGRATED BICYCLE NETWORK CLUSTERS IN ISTANBUL USING ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS

In this study, the impact of the integration of nonmotorized transport and public transport on hypermobility was evaluated. the role of bicycle in non-motorized transportation, and its contribution to sustainable travel goals were examined. a decision support model was established in order to plan the phases of a bicycle network integrated with the public transport sytem in istanbul metropolitan area. data such as public transport routes planned for the target year 2023, locations of transfer centers, number of passengers at transfer centers, and a revised bicycle network were used as layers for the geographic information systems (gis) map produced. based on the survey data collected from the experts, analytic hierarchy process (ahp) which is a multi-criteria decision-making procedure that contains both qualitative and quantitative factors was used to prioritize the bicycle network clusters integrated with public transport system in istanbul.
