Özet:

 Urban corridors, which were organized as pedestrian-oriented in the period before the invention of the automobile have entered the process of being organized as automobile-oriented in the modernization period when cities began to be reshaped. The widespread of automobile usage has been changing peoples travel preferences which resulted in the decrease of walkable environments. Scientists from different disciplines conducted studies on walking and walkability. It is necessary to understand the sociocultural structure and environmental features that persuade people to walk. Walking Preference Survey, which can be used as a preliminary study in the planning of walkable corridors, was prepared for this research. The survey was conducted with 597 participants in TrabzonOrtahisar. The survey was subjected to validity and reliability tests for standardization. 8 walkability criterions were reached in the factor analysis applied to the survey within the scope of the constructive validity analysis. In the study, differences in walking preference were observed according to demographic characteristics and travel habits.

 Otomobilin icadından önceki dönemde yaya odaklı olarak düzenlenen kentsel koridorlar, kentlerin yeniden şekillendirildiği modernleşme döneminde otomobil odaklı olarak düzenlenme sürecine girmiştir. Otomobil kullanımının yaygınlaşması, insanların seyahat tercihlerini değişmeye başlamıştır. Yürünebilir ortamların azalması ile sonuçlanan bu değişimin sonucunda farklı disiplinlerden bilim insanları, yürüme ve yürünebilirlik üzerine çalışmalar yürütmüştür. İnsanları yürümeye ikna eden sosyokültürel özelliklerle çevresel özellikleri anlamak gerekmektedir. Bu araştırma kapsamında, yürünebilir koridor planlamalarında ön çalışma olarak kullanılabilecek Yürüme Tercih Anketi düzenlenmiştir. Anket, TrabzonOrtahisarda 597 katılımcıyla yürütülmüştür. Anket standardizasyonu için geçerlik ve güvenirlik testlerine tabi tutulmuştur. Yapı geçerliği analizi kapsamında, ankete uygulanan faktör analizinde 8 yürünebilirlik ölçütüne ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmada demografik özelliklere ve seyahat alışkanlıklarına göre yürüme tercihinde farklılıklar gözlenmiştir.
