[5.5] Shuttle services (TR.2)

Dokuz Eylul University provides on-campus transportation with free shuttle ring services. The services start at 07:40 in the morning from the Eastern gate and run at intervals of 10-20 minutes, ending at 23:00 at night. These services offer free transportation to all units for all students and staff. This transportation service is valid and regular for all semesters.

Due to its large campus area, shuttle service is only needed at the Tınaztepe Campus, while the physical conditions and distances of the other campuses are suitable for transportation on foot within the campus.

[5.9] Zero-emmission Vehicles (ZEV) policy on campus (TR.3)

Dokuz Eylul University (DEU) has introduced an electric scooter service on its Tınaztepe Campus. In the initial phase, 50 electric scooters have been placed at designated stations near the campus entrance and in front of the cafeteria. These micro-mobility vehicles, situated within the DEÜ Tınaztepe Campus, offer an eco-friendly transportation option for navigating the campus. The electric scooters operate 24/7, promoting the use of environmentally friendly vehicles for short-distance journeys within the Tınaztepe Campus, as an alternative to traditional vehicles.

Due to its large campus area, zero-emmission vehicles are only needed at the Tınaztepe Campus, while the physical conditions and distances of the other campuses are suitable for transportation on foot within the campus.

Furthermore, DEU Hospital provides complimentary electric car transportation services for patients.

[5.13] The ratio of the ground parking area to total campus area (TR.5)

Total ground parking area (5.12): 40.621 m²

Total campus area (1.5): 5.601.798 m²

Formula: ((5.12/1.5)*100%))

The ratio of the total ground parking area to total campus area: 0.0072 (%0.72)

[5.14] Program to limit or decrease the parking area on campus for last 3 years (from 2020 to 2022)

In DEU, a number of programs are applied for limiting campus‐parking areas. These can be listed as follows:

Parking zones are limited both for students and staff; even though new faculties and units were added to our university and the population of our university increased. The capacity of the parking areas have remained the same in DEU since 2017 and only the registered people can get access into the campus and parking areas with their cars (and also the DEU campus shuttles and public transport, but they are not parking inside the campuses).

Dokuz Eylül University has been using the Rapid Transit System (DE‐HGS) since 2016 to eliminate the problems experienced in vehicle traffic on its campuses, to ensure security and to limit parking areas. Accordingly, students and staff who receive smart card application and fast pass system coupons can enter the campus with their vehicles. The transitions take place in accordance with the principles defined in the Institutional Identity Card and Vehicle Passage Directive.”

Only the ones registered to have pass tags on their cars can get access into the campus and parking areas, and a deterrent fee has been applied for the pass tags since 2016. That is why, we can claim that unit parking area per person in DEU has been shrank much more than 10% since last three years. The parking lot area was 86.900 m² previously and this area has been reduced to 40.621 m² until 2022 which means there is a 53% decrease of parking area in DEU campuses. The parking lots consist of only 0.725% of the total campus land.

Electric scooters with changeable batteries (remotely followed) are available in our campuses, as well as parking spaces for them.

In‐campus ride share is available, especially in Tınaztepe campus, which is established on a hill. Even though the distance from the campus entrance and the faculties is not more than a kilometer and university shuttles are available, and ride‐share points located just after the campus entrance have been useful for the students.

DEU has also announced the Declaration for Pedestrian and Bicycles, which includes the comfort of security of pedestrians, cyclers and electric scooter users in our campuses. The bicycle roads ara also available in DEU campuses for the students and staff who prefer cycling for short distances.

[5.15] Number of initiatives to decrease private vehicles on campus (TR.7)

Dokuz Eylul University (DEU) employs a range of measures to reduce the presence of private vehicles on its campuses, including:

DEU provides shuttle services at its campuses, operating a campus ring system with shuttles running at intervals of 10 to 20 minutes. These shuttle services are complimentary.
Campus access for DEU students and staff is free, and individuals use their university-issued identity cards for vehicle entry. DEU has established the “Institutional ID Card and Vehicle Pass System Directive” for this purpose. Additionally, there is a fast pass system that allows the campus entry system to recognize vehicles belonging to students and staff. To utilize the fast pass system, individuals purchase a ticket and attach it to their vehicles for a specific fee, and it is exclusive to students and staff.
DEU’s campuses are distributed across the city, and the university maintains regular communication with local authorities. Municipal public transportation services extend to the campus entrances, with the eastern entrance of the Tınaztepe campus, the largest among DEU’s campuses, serving as the final destination for these public transportation routes. This significantly eases access to the university and decreases the need for individual vehicles.
Parking spaces on DEU campuses are limited for both students and staff. Smart cards or the fast pass system are required for access to parking areas throughout the campuses.
Visitors arriving in various capacities are requested to leave their identity cards at security points and obtain visitor cards.
DEU actively promotes zero-emission vehicles, which are available for use on campus. Moreover, bicycle lanes are provided for those who prefer cycling.
In summary, Dokuz Eylül University has implemented various initiatives to minimize the presence of private vehicles on its campuses, including facilitating public transportation, providing shuttle services, controlling campus access through identity cards and vehicle passes, and promoting eco-friendly modes of transportation.

[5.16] Pedestrian path on campus (TR 8)

Dokuz Eylul University campuses are encircled by pedestrian pathways to ensure convenient walking access for both students, staff, and visitors. These pathways enable safe pedestrian transportation within the campuses.

Dokuz Eylul University has introduced the DEU Pedestrians and Cyclists Declaration to ensure the safety and ongoing improvement of pedestrian and cyclist travel.

Within DEU campuses, pedestrian pathways are extensive, actively utilized, and entirely separate from vehicular roads, offering access to every corner of Dokuz Eylül University campuses. These pedestrian paths feature special barriers designed to shield pedestrians from inclement weather conditions, such as heat or rain. Moreover, the pedestrian roads are elevated slightly above the vehicle roads and incorporate ramps, accessible routing stones, and sensitive surfaces tailored to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. Across all campuses, there is an ample and suitable array of lighting fixtures to provide adequate illumination.
