Özet

This study aims at visualizing the spatial distribution of road network per person in the city of Istanbul, Turkey. As a world city, Istanbul connects two continents and has almost 15 million population. Therefore, the city has a tremendous road network consists of 713,634 edges and 242,545 nodes. The road network is mapped on an equal population distribution cartogram for displaying where the least and the most amount of roads per person exist. These feature graphs might help planners, geographers, decision makers etc. for improving their understandings regarding the network topology of the road network.
