Detailed description (English): Green Steps Towards the Future
As Diyarbakır Science and Art Center, we are launching a project aimed at making our city more environmentally friendly and liveable. Through this project, we seek to enhance the efficiency of public transportation, promote bicycle paths, and introduce the benefits of electric vehicles. Our goal is to raise awareness among young people and Diyarbakır residents about sustainable mobility, helping to reduce our city’s carbon footprint and leave a cleaner environment for future generations.
Our project includes workshops and seminars designed to communicate the benefits of sustainable urban mobility to participants. We will also hold project competitions that encourage students to develop their own innovative transportation solutions. By conducting traffic density data analyses in Diyarbakır, we aim to develop more efficient and eco-friendly transportation strategies. Through public awareness campaigns, we will engage the community in creating a sustainable urban mobility culture.
Ultimately, we aim to spread environmentally conscious transportation habits in Diyarbakır, contributing both to our city and to the broader environment.
Detailed description (original language): Kentimizi daha çevre dostu, erişilebilir ve yaşanabilir bir hale getirmeyi amaçlayan bir projeyi hayata geçiriyoruz. Projemizle Diyarbakır’da toplu taşıma kullanımını artırmayı, bisiklet yollarını yaygınlaştırmayı, elektrikli araçların faydalarını tanıtmayı ve yaya dostu bir şehir anlayışını teşvik etmeyi hedefliyoruz. Projemiz, toplu taşımadan elektrikli araçlara, bisiklet kullanımından yayalaştırma projelerine kadar geniş bir yelpazede faaliyetler içeriyor.
Öğrencilerimiz ve gençler için sürdürülebilir ulaşım atölyeleri ve eğitim programları düzenleyerek onları bu konuda bilinçlendireceğiz. Bu atölyelerde toplu taşımanın faydaları, bisiklet ve yaya yollarının önemi ile elektrikli araç teknolojileri hakkında bilgi verilecek. Ayrıca, gençleri yenilikçi çözümler üretmeye teşvik eden bir proje yarışması düzenleyerek onların kendi fikirlerini hayata geçirmelerine zemin hazırlayacağız. Diyarbakır’ın yoğun trafik bölgelerinde yapılacak veri analitiği çalışmalarıyla kentsel hareketlilik analiz edilecek ve sürdürülebilir ulaşım için daha verimli stratejiler geliştirilecektir.
Elektrikli araçların ve diğer yenilikçi ulaşım teknolojilerinin tanıtımı da projemizin önemli bir parçasını oluşturuyor.Halkın sürdürülebilir kentsel hareketlilik hakkında bilinçlenmesini sağlamak amacıyla toplumsal farkındalık kampanyaları yürüterek, çevreci bir şehir oluşturma yönünde adımlar atacağız.
