Community Participation Towards Sustainability Enhancement of Transportation Sector for Baghdad City

摘要

Population opinions and preferences are one of the requirements that city planners strive to meet. Regulating the vital sectors in the city, including the transportation sector, without paying attention to its residents' viewpoints, may lead to the failure of this organization process. This research represents an analysis of many aspects of the use of mass transit and automobiles in the city of Baghdad, depending on Baghdad's residents' point of view. In order to determine the most critical aspects that transport planners and traffic engineers should focus on, to developing the transport sector in the city and achieving sustainable urban mobility. To achieve the research goal, 200 questionnaires were distributed to a group of Baghdad residents who had even a slight knowledge of the characteristics of the city's transportation sector. A set of relationships was built based on distributed forms highlighting the essential aspects that city residents want to develop in the transport sector.
