Ranking Model of Smart Cities in Turkey

Abstract

This paper demonstrates a ranking model to evaluate smart cities in Turkey. Structure of proposed model is based on the six characteristics that considered as main components of smart cities. These characteristics are smart people, smart living, smart mobility, smart economy, smart environment and smart governance respectively, which were described in the “Smart City Wheel” that developed by Prof. Boyd Cohen (2013). In order to achieve more realistic and applicable results, an online survey was conducted to assess weights for the indicators. Z-transformation method was used in order to standardize the values of indicators, and other steps of data processing were described in detail.
Working platform of the model is MATLAB and Microsoft SQL databases; database is holding the datasets of all the examined cities and the calculation results, and the MATLAB is responsible for the process of calculations and rankings. Indicator values of each city are held in the database as raw data and then converted into a single index by necessary procedures, and the overall ranking is made according to this index. Ranking results not only give us the overall ranking, but it can also provide us with separate rankings by six characteristics.
