Konferans, beklenenden daha yoğun bir ilgi ile tamamlandı. Kamu ve Yerel Yönetimler için TERRAPINN tarafından Türkiye'de muhatap kabul edilen ve Stratejik Ortaklık anlaşması imzalamış olan MİTAGED, toplantıya Yönetim Kurulu Başkanı Müfit ŞEKERCİ, 2. Başkan Dr. Erdal KARABAŞ, Osman SEÇER ile ÖZEL MİSAFİR statüsünde katıldı. 

 

Açılış toplantısının ardından yapılan ilk panelde konuşmacı olan MİTAGED Yönetim Kurulu Başkanı Müfit ŞEKERCİ, metro ve kentiçi Raylı sistemlerin uygulanmasında belediyelerin, danışman firmaların, yatırımcı kuruluşların dikkat etmeleri gereken yasal prosedürleri ve ülke şartlarından, siyasi, toplumsal ve insani unsurlardan kaynaklanan sorunları kısaca belirtti. Yabancı firmaların ülkemizde iş yapabilmeleri için bilinmesi gerekenleri açıkladı. Simultane tercüme ile konuşmalar salona verildi. 

 

Toplantı sonrasında yabancı elçilikler ve firmalarla birlikte bazı kamu kurumları ve STK lar da MİTAGED ile işbirliği içinde çalışma olanaklarını ve şartlarını görüşmek istediklerini belirttiler. Bu kapsamda önümüzdeki günlerde yurtdışındaki bazı kuruluşlar, MİTAGED ile görüşmelerde bulunmak üzere ülkemize birer heyet göndereceklerini söylediler.

 

Konuşmacılardan Klaus Ebelding ve Marc Smeets tarafından yaşanan küresel kriz nedeni ile Kamu-Özel sektör ortaklıklarında özel sektörün artık sıkıntı yaşayabileceği ve projeler üzerinde daha ciddi inceleme yapacakları kaydedildi.

 

Hazırlanacak metro ve raylı sistem projelerinde, ciddi danışmanlık hizmetlerinin artık daha önemli olduğu bir çok konuşmacı tarafından dile getirildi.

 

Özellikle belli ölçekteki yerleşim yerlerinde raylı sisteme geçilmemesinin veya geçmekte geç kalınmasının da ayrı bir toplumsal maliyet yarattığı belirtildi. 

 

Ela Babalık ve Gülden Erkut tarafından, Kent planlarının hazırlanmasında bu tür ulaşım sistemlerinin planlanmasının daha baştan yapılmasının önemine değinildi.

 

Kamu ve özel sektör ortaklık modelinin kurulumunda yapılacak hatalarda bu tür ortaklıklara güvenin azalacağı, konuşmacılar tarafından ifade edildi.
