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, Historic urban quarters
ÖZ: 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. Anahtar Kelimeler: Yürünebilirlik, Yayalaştırma, Sokak tasarımı, Yaya Dostu Sokak, Tarihi Kent çevreleri,
