Abstract

Purpose- In spite of
the rapidly growing population, especially in big cities due to different
reasons (migration, employment and education opportunities etc.), the life
areas and resources of the cities are depleted rapidly due to unplanned
construction and unconscious use of resources. In order to leave more livable
cities and habitats to future generations, the concept of sustainable cities is
very important. In this study, city logistics was examined in terms of the
concept of sustainability and the effect of sustainability on city logistics
was focused. In the first study, a detailed literature on sustainable city was
investigated.   

Methodology- The
questionnaire form, which consists of 150 participants who have been living in
İzmir for at least ten years, has been answered. Statistical methods were used
to evaluate the concept of sustainable city according to gender, age and
educational status. 

Findings- According to
the results of the survey, the province of İzmir was examined in terms of a
sustainable city; weaknesses and strengths were highlighted and solutions were
proposed for the future. In addition, it was found that there was a significant
difference in sustainable city perception according to education, age and
gender.

Conclusion-
According to the results
obtained within the scope of the study, solutions were proposed for the future.
As a solution suggestion, the subway stations have been examined and it has
been proposed to add Peron Separator Door Systems and to arrange the sensible
floors according to the said system.
