Abstract
<p>This study investigates the impact of planned tram lines on walkability and accessibility in Sakarya, utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for spatial analysis. The research evaluates the catchment areas of proposed tram stops, assessing their suitability and coverage, and examines how these areas integrate with existing public transport routes. By calculating time-oriented catchments for 5, 8, and 10-minute walking distances, the study identifies service gaps and redundancies in the public transport network. The findings reveal that the new tram lines will enhance accessibility by extending coverage to high-density areas and potentially reducing the demand on existing bus services. The analysis also highlights the overlap between bus transit lines and tram stops, suggesting optimizations to improve network efficiency. The results offer valuable insights for urban planners, aiming to optimize Sakarya’s public transport system to be more inclusive and sustainable. This study contributes to urban mobility planning by providing a detailed understanding of how new tram lines can improve connectivity and support sustainable urban development.</p>
