ABSTRACT

Happy and healthy living in towns is related to the extent that town's open green space system is enough for the requirements. Today, pedesterian zones have been achieved to increase rapidly disappearing open space and to provide comfortable and safe circulation for pedestrians. Pedestrian zones proposal projects were accomplished by determining space elements that would be able to be pedestrian zones with enviromental comfort and free of vehicle traffic in Erzurum town. As a result, to close vehicle traffic in Taşmağazalar Street, Çifteminareli Street, Ebu-İshak Street, the South part of Polisevi and the east part of Çaykara trade center and to plan these areas as pedestrian zones will be one of the best designing. The result of questionnaies suggested that planning for pedestrians was regarded as insufficient by 90 percent of town's people. As far as possible, with the pedestrian zones project being put into practise, Erzurum town would have a more modern face in due course.
