TI  - Bicycle Route Infrastructure Planning Using GIS in an Urban Area: The Case of İzmir
AB  - As a case study about İzmir (the third biggest metropolitan city inTurkey), this paper focuses on how to determine bicycle routesin already developed built environments of densely populated cities. To do so, it identifies how to deploy certain geographic information system (GIS) tools for analyzing multilayered spatial datanot only at the city but also at the neighborhood level. Wheninterrelating multiple characteristics of majorly topography, landuse and population with each other, the study deploys mainly theoverlay analysis and also network analysis as complementary toeach other respectively at the city level and the neighborhoodlevel. The results confirms that the use of these GIS tools for analyzing socio-spatial data especially at multiple spatial scales cansupport policy-makers’ decision-makings about route choices inthe immediate future of their city even in a “data-poor” context,”such as Turkey.
