Abstract: | Walkability is one of the techniques to design more sustainable and livable cities. In
recent decades, cities have become increasingly humane in nature, where the role of
the citizens and their importance in the city has become paramount. This concept is
directly related to quality improvement projects and the improvement of the urban
environment, where pedestrian zones are convenient and easily accessible without
interfering barriers, as well as open spaces for recreation, and well-developed cultural
places, have become the main priorities in the design. The adoption of the new term
"Urban Heritage" has fundamentally changed the appearance of cities, turning them
into huge open-air museums. The museum conservation of the urban environment and
the transformation of the urban environment into open museum galleries have become
the main feature of many cities of our time. The most common positive impacts of the
Pedestrianization of streetscapes in historic urban environments have many
environmental, economic and social benefits. In the light of this framework, the study
aims to determine the significant features affecting walkability in HUQ, in specific to
the historic urban core of Sukhum city, and to what degree the Peace Avenue in
Sukhum is presently walkable.
Keywords: Walkability, Pedestrinazation, Street design, Pedestrian-friendly street,

Yürünebilirlik, daha sürdürülebilir ve yaşanabilir kentlerin tasarlanmasında sıklıkla
tercih edilen yöntemlerden bir tanesidir. Son yıllarda, kentlinin rolünün ve öneminin
artması ile birlikte, daha insan odaklı yerleşim birimlerine yönelik bir artış olduğu
gözlenmektedir. Yürünebilirlik kavramı, kent çevrelerinde kolay erişilebilir yaya
akslarının oluşturulması; kamusal alanların ve kültürel mekanların yaratılması gibi
konulara odaklanarak, kentsel çevrelerin kalitesinin yükseltilmesini hedefler. 'Kent
Mirası' ifadesinin benimsenmesi ile birlikte degişen kent imgesi, bu alanların açık hava
müzelerine dönüşmesini sağlamıştır. Kent çevrelerine, müze koruma anlayışı
kapsamında yaklasmak tarihi merkezlerde önemli bir öğe haline gelmistir. Sokaklar
gibi kamusal öneme sahip mekanların tarihi merkezlerde yayalaştırılmasının pekcok
cevresel, ekonmik ve sosyo-kulturel yarari bulunmaktadir. Calisma, bu cercevede
Sukhum örnegi özelinde tarihi merkezlere odaklanarak, yürünebilirligi
etkileyebilecek önemli öğeleri belirlemeyi hedeflerken; Sukhum kentinde önemli
ticaret akslarindan biri olan Peace caddesinin ne derecede yürünebilir oldugu
sorunsalına odaklanmaktadır.
