Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the traffic density of nine intersections located between the Highways intersection and the Toplu Konut Boulevard intersection on Atatürk Boulevard in Samsun's Atakum district, and to analyze the traffic flow in detail at these intersections. Analyzes were applied with ArcGIS 10.3 from GIS software. In the study, kernel density analysis was used to determine the densely populated areas, and buffer analysis was used to determine the density levels of intersections. Kernel density analysis was used to determine the density of settlements, then density maps were created depending on the buffer zones created by schools, institutions, hospitals and densely populated areas around the intersections. Buffer analysis was attempted at buffer sizes of 500 and 1000 meters and mapped in GIS software. As a result, it has been determined that the intersection with the least density is Vatan street intersection, and the ones with the highest density are YEDAŞ and Türk-iş intersection. Thus, a local problem was identified and solution suggestions were presented.
