SMART CITY INDICATORS AND STRATEGIES

The need for energy conservation of natural resources and economic sustainability concerns the new alternatives to solve the urban problems by forcing the country and urban economies more. In the solution of these problems, life and cities which will be shaped by information and communication Technologies (ICT) within the framework of Industry 4.0 become the agenda items of decision makers, urban planners, management informatics and engineers. It is possible with an effective city management to increase the consumption need and to meet these needs according to the needs of the age. In order to meet these needs according to the needs of the age, the smart city is defined as the system that provides the quality of life, effective city management and participatory and sustainable urban development by using ICT. The smart city system is based on the fact that the decision makers, the private sector and the citizens are in a comprehensive partnership. The aim of this study is to revise the definition of the smart city with the aim of determining the road maps of urban planners and decision makers who want to determine the smart city vision and to put them together with the smart city indicators and strategies. For this purpose, a literature review about the definition of smart city was made and the model of being a smart city consisting of smart city indicators was presented. It is thought that the study will be important in terms of urban planners and decision makers in terms of creating parameters that can measure smart cities, and that the smart status of cities can be compared over parameters and thus investments can be directed more accurately
