Course Objectives: Objective of the course is evaluating the cycling relation between land use and transportation system with demand and its results, and in this concept, modelling and planning basic issues in urban scale.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
Giving the concept of:

a) Economical based theories and approaches that investigates the location selections and travel profiles of various actors in land use-transportation system

b) Empirical models that investigates distribution of urban functions and travel characteristics relation

Course Content

The relationship of spatial positioning and transportation has been an important topic of research in urban, regional, and national scales. Currently theoretical and application-centric modeling and planning studies should be considered within an integrated approach that is also inclusive of socio-economic and environmental factors. In this context, the cyclic relationship between land use and transportation system and service will be evaluated along with its consequences. Evaluation will be conducted through urban modeling and planning cases.
