ABSTRACT

Demographic expansion, urbanization, industrial development, occupation of fertile lands, uncontrolled construction, air, water, soil pollution, health problems, narrowing of areas, recreation, sports, etc. affect the quality of life. Based on these indicators, research was conducted on the analysis of railway infrastructure as a component that will affect the minimization of some problems related to the quality of life in our country in the 2021-2022 period. Based on data, authentic information, and achievable results with this paper, we aim to provide knowledge about the railway infrastructure, its condition, potential and the benefits it would have if it were transformed, operated, developed, and managed based on the concept of integrated and sustainable management of the traffic sector. As a result, based on the practices of developed countries, the statistics referred to in the official reports, the factors that have de-functionalized the property located within the urban areas as a result of the urban transformation and the possibilities of urban-suburban transport development prove that: with the regeneration of the railway on two lines examined in our study, properties will be integrated into the urban development. On the one hand, alternative financial resources are provided to the railway company, by operating the facilities for various services, paid parking spaces, commercial advertising, and recreational spaces. On the other hand, alternative transport is provided according to the conditions; transport can be developed with special bus lanes, with Metrobus (Bus Rapid Transit) and along the line within the urban area with bicycle paths.
