Abstract
In recent years, there is a need for renewal and improvement in existing settlements. In other words, urban transformation is due to many reasons, such as the increase in the population in cities, inadequacies in the social field, natural disasters, obsolescence, and desolation. Especially since Turkey is in an earthquake zone requires living in more reliable cities, it is tried to prepare a base for transformation by creating legal legislation that encourages urban transformation. In the regeneration process and improvement of these problematic areas of cities, integrated transportation planning is also crucial besides using the land. It is seen that the transportation network factors that are not planned in parallel with the urban transformation cause some inadequacies and problems in that city over time. When solutions to prevent these problems are not produced and taken into account, it becomes impossible to leave sustainable quality livable cities for the following years. Istanbul is one of the cities where urban transformation works are most intense, both in terms of seismicity and its increasing population. Therefore, every transformation activity should be planned and carried out considering the building and social life layers and transportation elements. Within the scope of this study, the urban transformation process in Kayabaşı District, which has undergone a rapid transformation process in recent years, has been examined with a survey in the context of transportation network opportunities and the effect of existing transportation network opportunities on the preference of the residents. While the survey content was being prepared, it was questioned why the residents living in this region preferred to live here first. Then the share of the existing and planned transportation network in preferences for the area was tried to be revealed. In line with the results, it has been proposed to increase the public transportation alternatives and timetables in the Kayabaşı region and make transportation from the mass housing to the public transportation stop points more accessible.
