| Popis: | Urban transport is one of the most dynamic and a vital element within the urban sphere, as it has a significant impact on the growth and development of cities in all respects; it determines the size and direction of urbanization and directs it properly as well. Bordj Bou Arreridj is an Algerian city that witnessed a spectacular urban expansion, which resulted in great difficulties in terms of urban transport. This resulted in the inability to fulfill the role assigned to it, especially with regard to the urban expansion of the city, given the insufficient means of urban transport, especially collective ones - Old urban bus barns – and thus, meeting the growing demand for transport due to the large demographic growth. In addition to that, the fragility of the urban transport system as a whole has led to lack of harmony and interconnectedness of all parts of the city, and to the imbalance in the management of the sector. The study concluded that the urban area of the city is characterized by an important network of roads and streets that ensure good connectivity between its parts, but the existing urban transport network does not cover all its components (49% is the covered area in the city), as some areas lack urban transport service, especially those located on its suburbs as a result of the rapid urbanization. In order to redress this phenomenon, it was necessary to reconsider the general urban transportation system on both management and organizational sides, taking into account all urban components of the city, especially future expansions, in order to reach a harmonious and interconnected city under a balanced and effective transportation system. |
