Walkability in Smart Cities

Öz

With the increasing urban population density in the future, cities are growing, and the need for resources is changing. The emergence of the smart city approach is a result of the growing urban population and the depletion of resources. Smart cities are implemented in three different ways: the smartening of existing cities, the construction of new urban areas, and the assignment of new functions to underutilized urban areas. In addition to being equipped with advanced technology, the walkability of smart cities is crucial. The article emphasizes that high walkability is essential for labeling a city as 'smart.' Walkability provides a foundation for a sustainable city. In this study, we hope to contribute to ongoing discussions in cities worldwide on how to enhance the walkability of cities and areas. Ultimately, we argue that smart cities should be walkable cities and provide recommendations to city officials to establish a rational basis for planning smart cities.

Akıllı Şehirlerde Yürünebilirliğin Önemi

Öz

Gelecekte kentsel alanlarda yoğunlaşan insan nüfusu artışıyla birlikte, şehir nüfusu artmakta ve şehirler büyümektedir. Artan şehir nüfusunun ihtiyaçları değişiyor ve kaynaklarımız tükeniyor. Akıllı şehir yaklaşımı bu durumların beraberinde getirdiği problemlere çözüm geliştirmek için ortaya çıkmıştır. Akıllı şehirler, mevcut şehirlerin akıllandırılması, yeni kentsel alanların inşası ve kentsel kullanılmayan alanlara yeni fonksiyon verilmesi olarak üç farklı şekilde uygulanıyor. Akıllı şehirlerin ileri teknoloji ile donatılmasının yanında, yürünebilir olması da çok önemli. Makalede, bir şehre ‘akıllı’ diyebilmek için yürünebilirlik oranının yüksek olması gerektiği vurgulanıyor. Yürünebilirlik, sürdürülebilir bir şehir için bir temel sağlar. Bu çalışmada, şehirlerin ve alanların daha yürünebilir hale gelmesi için nasıl geliştirileceği konusunda dünyanın dört bir yanındaki şehirlerde devam eden tartışmalara ilgili girdilerle katkıda bulunulması amaçlanıyor. Sonuçta, akıllı şehirlerin, yürünebilir şehirler olması gerektiğini söyleniyor ve akıllı şehirlerin planlanmasında rasyonel bir temel oluşturmak için şehir yöneticilerine önerilerde bulunuluyor.
