Evaluation of The Smart City Applications in Terms of Users: The Case of Turkey
Abstract
Cities transform into dynamic, productive, innovative and attractive areas. Due to this transformation, some problems occur in urban areas such as health, energy, traffic, waste management, air and water pollution, unplanned urbanization. The use of communication and information technologies should be provided for solving these problems. The cities should be more livable, quality and functional areas. Planners and designers should try to find solutions to urban problems, and they should action to make cities the more “smart”. To create smart cities, areas must be transformed into more sustainable and livable. Smart cities focus on solutions such as mobility/transportation, clean energy, water-food production, health, life, and public participation. The aim of the study is to evaluate the smart city applications in open-green areas according to user’s opinion. For this purpose, the questionnaire was made on 455 people who are from all provinces and regions of the Turkey. The users who participated in the questionnaire, were selected on a voluntary. The results that were obtained from the questionnaire, were transferred to SPSS software, and analyses were made using some test in SPSS. The average of the answers that were given by the participants about the smart city applications, is slightly higher than the average of the answers that were given about the park information systems. Most of the participants stated that they have demands about the information and technology, and smart city applications will increase the level of perception the cities. Finally, suggestions for the smart city applications were made.
