Düşük Trafikli Mahalle Tasarımı İçin Planlanmış Davranış Teorisi’nin ve Zaman Coğrafyası ile Sentezinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

This article presents an evaluation of the contribution of the synthesis of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) with Time Geography to the Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) design stages. In the LTN design scheme, the evaluation of the human factor has importance at all stages of the design. However, the LTN design is currently based on stakeholder meetings, verbal statements and maps created with stakeholders in general. Social psychology, which includes concepts and theories to understand complex human behaviour, has been used in many transportation studies. TPB, one of the most well-known theories on this subject, its contributions to transportation studies and its primary deficiencies were identified within the article. It has been evaluated that the lack of spatial and temporal scope, one of these primary deficiencies, can be eliminated by synthesizing the Time Geography approach. As a result, this synthesis has the potential to increase the effects of the LTN design by integrating TPB, which has the potential to provide a basis for guiding people's behaviour, and Time Geography, which can reflect its spatial and temporal projection, in each of the stages of LTN design namely street classification, determination of neighbourhood boundaries, prioritization of neighbourhoods and determination of measures.
