Evaluation of Smart City Determinants by the Fuzzy DEMATEL Method
Öz
Studies on smart cities are increasing rapidly today. Smart cities are structures that offer solutions to urban challenges with technological, sustainable, economic, and social approaches and focus on creating a more livable environment. In this study, first of all, the main components of smart cities were examined, and then these main components were evaluated. Smart Governance, Smart Transportation and Mobility, Smart People, Smart Economy, Smart Energy, Smart Environment, and Smart Life are discussed as the main components of smart cities. The main determinants discussed aim to reveal the relationship of the components that affect and are affected by each other, and to reveal the degree of importance of each component. In the study, the Fuzzy DEMATEL method is used, considering the existence of uncertain and fuzzy situations for the components discussed. The effect graphs of the determinants examined by the fuzzy DEMATEL method were obtained and the factors for the development of smart cities were evaluated. When examined as a result of the study, it is obtained that the Smart Life, Smart Energy, Smart Economy, and Smart Governance criteria are in the group of influencing factors, and the Smart Environment, Smart Transportation and Mobility, and Smart People criteria are in the affected group. When the importance levels are examined, the criteria from high to low are listed as Smart Governance, Smart Life, Smart Energy, Smart People, Smart Economy, Smart Environment, and Smart Transportation and Mobility.
