Düşük Gelirli Haneler İçin IoT Destekli Akıllı Konutlar: PRISMA Rehberli Bir Sistematik Derleme ve Tematik Sentez

Abstract

Artan kentleşme ve yaşam maliyetleri, düşük gelirli haneler için sosyal konutu kritik bir politika alanına dönüştürürken; enerji giderleri, bakım ve güvenlik gibi işletme yükleri erişilebilirliği zayıflatmaktadır. IoT tabanlı akıllı konut çözümleri bu yükleri azaltma potansiyeli taşısa da sosyal konutta etkinin ortaya çıkması teknik kurulumun ötesinde kabul ve uygulanabilirlik koşullarına bağlıdır. Bu çalışma, düşük gelirli haneler ve sosyal konut bağlamında IoT destekli akıllı konut uygulamalarının olası faydalarını, risklerini ve uygulanabilirlik sınırlarını sistematik biçimde sentezlemeyi hedefler. PRISMA 2020 çerçevesinde yürütülen sistematik derleme, 2015-2025 arasında yayımlanan hakemli çalışmaları belirlenen veri tabanlarında sistematik olarak taramış (n=57); dâhil edilen çalışmalar (n=25) tematik sentezle analiz edilmiştir. Literatür, IoT’nin enerji izleme-otomasyon, güvenlik ve bina yönetimi üzerinden işletme giderlerini düşürme potansiyelini desteklemektedir. Ancak faydanın sürdürülebilirliğini maliyet ve yaşam döngüsü yükleri, mahremiyet ve veri güvenliği endişeleri, kurumsal güven ile dijital erişim ve kullanım becerilerindeki farklılıklar sınırlamaktadır. Etki, fayda-risk-kapasite dengesinin birlikte yönetilmesine bağlıdır. Çalışma, sosyal konutta IoT’nin değerlendirilmesi için bağlama duyarlı bir çerçeve sunar ve UTAUT/UTAUT2’nin risk ve kapasite bileşenleriyle genişletilerek test edilebilir bir modelleme zemini önerir.

IoT-Enabled Smart Housing for Low-Income Households: A PRISMA-Guided Systematic Review and Thematic Synthesis

Abstract

Rising urbanization and living costs have made social housing a critical policy field for low-income households. However, operational burdens such as energy costs, maintenance, and security can undermine affordability. Although IoT-based smart housing solutions have the potential to reduce these burdens, their effectiveness in social housing depends not only on technical installation but also on the conditions of acceptance and practical feasibility.This study systematically reviews the potential benefits, risks, and feasibility constraints of IoT-enabled smart housing applications for low-income households in social housing. Following the PRISMA 2020 framework, the review examined peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2025 across predefined databases (n=57). A thematic synthesis was then carried out on the final set of studies (n=25).The findings suggest that IoT can help reduce operating costs through energy monitoring and automation, security applications, and building management. However, the long-term sustainability of these benefits is shaped by cost and life-cycle burdens, privacy and data security concerns, institutional trust, and differences in digital access and user capability. The overall impact therefore depends on how well the balance between benefits, risks, and capacity is managed. In response, the study offers a context-sensitive framework for evaluating IoT in social housing and proposes an empirically testable extension of UTAUT/UTAUT2 that incorporates risk and capacity components.
