Understanding Smart Cities: An Evaluation of Konya and Barcelona

Abstract

Today, increasing population density in urban areas brings with some problems. In order to overcome these emerging problems and make urban living spaces more livable, an innovative approach to information communication technologies in urban life that has brought about the "smart city" concept was introtuced. Given the definitions of the smart city concept, there is no common definition known in the literature, but it is widely accepted that the intelligent city means performance in terms of going forward in information and communication technologies, urban life, environment and living space. The use of information communication technologies makes it possible for cities to play a variety of roles in their functions, such as building a smart structure, creating policies and organizing growth. It also provides strategies to enable urban residents to adapt to urbanization by providing and using smart urban practices and resources of urban services that will be offered to urban residents in the best possible way. However, the ability of smart city applications to succeed and the city to gain an intelligent structure is closely related to the adoption of smart city technologies by urban residents. The main purpose of study in this context is; analyzing the concept of smart city and examining what might be the smart urban technologies that can be adopted by the inhabitants of the city, including smart urban components such as governance, individual, transportation in the transformation of cities into smart cities. The study will be dealt with in a qualitative way.   In this direction, smart urban practices in Barcelona, which are shown as good examples in terms of smart cities, will be examined and efforts will be made to determine in which stage the studies are done in Konya.

Akıllı Kentleri Anlamak: Konya ve Barcelona Üzerinden Bir Değerlendirme

Öz

Günümüzde kentsel mekânlarda yaşayan nüfus yoğunluğunun artması beraberinde birtakım sorunları getirmektedir. Ortaya çıkan bu sorunların üstesinden gelmek ve kentsel yaşam alanlarının daha yaşanabilir kılınması adına kentsel yaşamda bilgi iletişim teknolojilerinin yenilikçi bir anlayışla kullanılmaya başlanması “akıllı kent” kavramını gündeme getirmiştir. Akıllı kent kavramının tanımlamaları dikkate alındığında literatürde genel kabul görmüş ortak bir tanımı olmamakla birlikte, akıllı kent, kent yaşamıyla ilintili, çevre ve yaşam alanlarındaki performansı bilgi iletişim teknolojileri vasıtasıyla ileriye taşımaya çalışan bir anlayışı ifade etmektedir. Bilgi iletişim teknolojilerinin kullanılması kentlerin akıllı bir yapı kazanma, politika oluşturma ve büyümeyi organize etme gibi fonksiyonlarında çeşitli roller üstlenmesini mümkün kılmaktadır. Ayrıca akıllı kent uygulamaları ile kent sakinlerine sunulacak kentsel hizmetlerin kaynaklarının en iyi şekilde kullanılmasını sağlayarak, yönetme ve uygulama konusunda ve kent sakinlerinin kente adaptasyonunu mümkün kılacak stratejiler de sunmaktadır. Ancak akıllı kent uygulamalarının başarıya ulaşabilmesi ve kentin akıllı bir yapı kazanabilmesi akıllı kent teknolojilerinin kent sakinleri tarafından benimsenmesi ile yakından ilişkilidir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın temel amacı; akıllı kent kavramının analizini yaparak, kentlerin akıllı kentlere dönüşümünde yönetişim, birey, ulaşım gibi akıllı kent bileşenlerini içeren, kent sakinleri tarafından benimsenebilecek akıllı kent teknolojilerinin neler olabileceğini incelemek olarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışma nitel bir yöntemle ele alınıp oluşturulacaktır. Bu doğrultuda çalışmada akıllı kentler açısından iyi örnekler arasında gösterilen Barcelona’daki akıllı kent uygulamaları incelenip, Konya’da bu konuda yapılan çalışmaların hangi aşamada olduğu tespit edilmeye çalışılacaktır.
