Özet

The most critical components of walkability, which expresses walking opportunities in cities, are activities and uses in the neighborhood or around neighborhoods for pedestrian areas integrated with the natural, cultural and social environment, accessibility, structuring of neighborhood street networks, pedestrian safety, attractiveness of streets for users and user density of streets. Considering that the transportation systems in cities are connected to the systems and the walkable areas integrated with these areas are a part of the city, they must be integrated with the landscape valuesassociated with the urban identity. In this accordance, the study aimed to determine the relationship of walkability in transportation-based areas with the landscape values and to determine the potential of the area. In this context, the landscape values of Atat & uuml;rk Street, which is located in the city core of Bursa and has both touristic, social, and commercial functions in pedestrian transportation, were evaluated based on walkability on the sidewalks, and a partially sufficient result was reached. As a result, landscape plans should be developed to support the use of streets that can be easily experienced by all user groups, where urban identity is emphasized in transportation axes and can respond to transportation values.
