Connectivity of Urban Spaces Typology and Urban Mobility Topology

Abstract

In the study, the connectivity of the ontological and epistemological knowledge of the space in intervening in urban transportation and mobility problems is questioned through the sample area. The purpose of the questioning; is to understand whether potential urban mobility analysis and original application principles can be obtained by trying to reflect the epistemological knowledge of the space to the ontological knowledge. Urban mobility studies; it is seen as sustainable and up-to-date approaches that are handled with original preparation, plan, implementation and monitoring processes, that bring together land use regulations, development plans and transportation plans in the solution of urban transportation problems, and combine spatial and other relational dimensions that develop accordingly. As a result of the inquiry, it was determined that the connectivity between epistemological and ontological knowledge of the space effectively solved urban transportation and mobility problems. It has been seen that it is effective in directing planning and design, especially in urban mobility planning, at the lower scale, during plan implementations, or before plan making. The first stage of the study consists of understanding the ontological and epistemological layers of urban space. In the second stage, the connectivities of these layers in intervening in urban transportation and mobility problems are examined. In the study, while producing urban mobility resolutions, improvements were made to the ontological and epistemological layers of the space (topographic, typological, topological, and hodological), and these were tested on the sample area. Thus, it will be understood whether the method to be followed will be valid in other cities.
