Assessing the impact of digitalization and new mobility services on urban mobility: İstanbul case

There has been a paradigm shift in urban mobility around the developments in information and communication technologies, zero emission targets to reduce transport-related emissions. Hence, traditional transportation services are replaced by sustainable, shared, smart, innovative mobility services. It is crucial to understand what extent these services, which are increasingly used in the cities of our country and have the potential to become a part of the main transportation system of the city rather than serving as an alternative mode of transportation, affect people's travel behaviors and daily activity preferences in order to be aware the trends in urban transportation, passenger and freight mobility. In this study, micromobility, car and ride sharing services used in Istanbul as part of innovative mobility services (1) their effect on people's travel behavior (2) the relationship between people's demographic, socioeconomic status and the used innovative transportation services (3) and the conditions where the adoption of these services are higher were analysed. Within the scope of the study, a survey was conducted with a sample of 404 people in Istanbul and the survey results were interpreted using both explanatory analysis methods and the chi-square independence test as a statistical method. As a result of the study, questions such as what is the relationship between the demographic characteristics, general travel behaviors of people and the use of innovative mobility services, the effect of these services on the number of trips, transportation modes replaced by them, in which situations they are preferred, and under what conditions those who do not use this service can use them were answered
