Abstract: This study investigates the selection process of "Parking Management" strategies, a critical component of parking facility planning. An integrated approach is developed, combining quantitative assessment models with those based on expert and user opinions, to select effective "Parking Management" strategies. Additionally, parking strategies for the Trabzon-Ortahisar district were determined by analyzing observed on-site parking behaviors. The study hypothesized that conventional approaches would be insufficient for selecting parking management strategies and would fail to adequately adapt to user profiles and parking usage patterns. At this stage, car parking strategies selected through traditional methods—such as car parking capacities, usage rates, projection studies, and data obtained from user and car parking surveys—were compared. The AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method was used as the selection criterion. As an outcome, the study proposes a method that incorporates user opinions to determine optimal strategies for addressing parking problems caused by the imbalance between parking spaces and parking demand.
