The city is transforming into the smart city using information and communication technology (ICT), and the major role in economic development is building an infrastructure to enable greater connectivity between citizen service, energy, economics, and government. A smart city can monitor the real-world scenario in real time and support the intelligent services to both locals and travelers. Due to urbanization, people move from village to city. Increase the population in city also causes an increase in vehicles. Here, parking the vehicle securely is a challenging problem. In a smart parking system, all the devices are connected to the internet. Hackers and third parties easily access the user data or sensitive data. Smart parking system application controls the traffic, air pollution, and city functions making it easy to park the vehicle and reduce accidents. Many of the problems arise in the security and privacy of the sensitive data. In this chapter, the authors discuss security and privacy issues in smart parking systems using IoT.

The world’s population is forecasted of having 68% to be urban residents by 2050 while urbanization in the world continues to grow. Along with that phenomenon, there is a global trend towards the creation of smart cities in many countries. Looking at the overview of studies and reports on smart cities, it can be seen that the concept of “smart city” is not clearly defined. Information and communication technology have often been being recognized by the vast majority of agencies, authorities and people when thinking about smart city but the meaning of smart city goes beyond that. Smart city concept should come with the emphasizing on the role of social resources and smart urban governance in the management of urban issues. Therefore, the "smart city" label should refer to the capacity of smart people and smart officials who create smart urban governance solutions for urban problems. The autonomy in smart cities allows its members (whether individuals or the community in general) of the city to participate in governance and management of the city and become active users and that is the picture of e-democracy. E-democracy makes it easier for stakeholders to become more involved in government work and fosters effective governance by using the IT platform of smart city. This approach will be discussed more in this paper.

The Smart City concept is being developed from a lot of different axes encompassing multiple areas of social and technical sciences. However, something that is common to all these approaches is the central role that the capacity of sharing information has. Hence, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are seen as key enablers for the transformation of urban regions into Smart Cities. Two of these technologies, namely Internet of Things and Big Data, have a predominant position among them. The capacity to “sense the city” and access all this information and provide added-value services based on knowledge derived from it are critical to achieving the Smart City vision. This paper reports on the specification and implementation of a software platform enabling the management and exposure of the large amount of information that is continuously generated by the IoT deployment in the city of Santander.

Smart City is the product of accelerated development of the new generation information technology and knowledge-based economy, based on the network combination of the Internet, telecommunications network, broadcast network, wireless broadband network and other sensors networks where Internet of Things technology (IoT) as its core. Traffic congestion caused by vehicle is an alarming problem at a global scale and it has been growing exponentially. Searching for a parking space is a routine (and often frustrating) activity for many people in cities around the world. This search burns about one million barrels of the world's oil every day. A smart Parking system typically obtains information about available parking spaces in a particular geographic area and process is real-time to place vehicles at available positions. In our proposed chapter, we will be discussing the advanced features of IoT in order to development an intelligent parking management system in a smart city i.e. called as Smart Parking system.

The introduction of the Information and Communication Technologies throughout the last decades has created a trend of providing daily objects with smartness, aiming to make human life more comfortable. The paradigm of Smart Cities arises as a response to the goal of creating the city of the future, where (1) the well-being and rights of their citizens are guaranteed, (2) industry and (3) urban planning is assessed from an environmental and sustainable viewpoint. Smart Cities still face some challenges in their implementation, but gradually more research projects of Smart Cities are funded and executed. Moreover, cities from all around the globe are implementing Smart City features to improve services or the quality of life of their citizens. Through this article, (1) we go through various definitions of Smart Cities in the literature, (2) we review the technologies and methodologies used nowadays, (3) we summarise the different domains of applications where these technologies and methodologies are applied (e.g. health and education), (4) we show the cities that have integrated the Smart City paradigm in their daily functioning and (5) we provide a review of the open research challenges. Finally, we discuss about the future opportunities for Smart Cities and the issues that must be tackled in order to move towards the cities of the future.

Smart cities are a way of life that emerged after the 2000s in order to produce innovative solutions by using information and communication technologies and to transform cities into livable conditions, with awareness and consciousness against global problems and adverse living conditions. With the use of developing technologies and the inclusion of sustainability in every sense, smart applications are developed and ease of use is provided by including these applications in urban life. Thanks to this concept, which consists of different sub-components, urban life, which creates crowded living spaces, becomes smart from their current situation and comes to a position that provides its own future. Smart city formation emerges as an important issue in the effort of reaching the future, affecting every city that exists globally as a result of the cooperation of technological developments, innovations and sustainability. Especially in recent years, intensive researches, applications and studies have been carried out in order to create smart cities in the global sense. However, apart from some cities that have developed themselves in this sense, smart applications developed to create smart cities are used in pilot areas with limited access and cannot be generalized. The city of Konya, which was chosen as the sample area within the scope of the study; It is one of the leading cities in Turkey that develops itself by using smart applications and sustainable methods and develops in the process of becoming a smart city. It is aimed to examine and evaluate the smart city applications discussed in this study and to make suggestions on the diversification and dissemination of such smart city applications. ​Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. Özet   Akıllı kentler, 2000’li yıllardan sonra küresel anlamda meydana gelen problemler ve olumsuz yaşama şartlarına karşı oluşan farkındalık ve bilinç ile bilgi iletişim teknolojileri kullanılarak yenilikçi çözümler üretilmesi ve kentlerin yaşanabilir hale dönüştürülmesi için ortaya çıkmış bir yaşam şeklidir. Gelişen teknolojilerin kullanılması ve bu kullanıma her anlamda sürdürülebilirliğin katılması ile akıllı uygulamalar geliştirilmekte ve kent yaşamına bu uygulamalar dahil edilerek kullanım kolaylıkları sağlanmaktadır. Farklı alt bileşenlerden oluşan bu kavram sayesinde kalabalık yaşam alanlarını oluşturan kent hayatları, mevcut durumlarından akıllı hale geçerek kendi geleceğini kendi sağlayan bir konuma gelmektedir. Akıllı kent oluşumu, teknolojik gelişmeler, yenilikler ve sürdürülebilirlik kavramının beraber çalışması sonucu küresel anlamda var olan her kenti etkileyen ve geleceğe ulaşma çabasında önem taşıyan bir konu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Özellikle son yıllarda küresel anlamda akıllı kentler oluşturabilmek için yoğun araştırmalar, uygulamalar ve çalışmalar yapılmaktadır. Ancak Türkiye’de bu anlamda kendini geliştirmiş bazı kentler dışında akıllı kentler oluşturabilmek için geliştirilen akıllı uygulamalar pilot alanlarda sınırlı erişim ile kullanılmakta ve genele yaygınlaştırılamamaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında örneklem alan olarak seçilen Konya kenti; Türkiye’de akıllı uygulamalar ve sürdürülebilir yöntemler kullanarak kendini geliştiren ve akıllı kent olma sürecinde gelişim gösteren kentlerin başında gelmektedir. Bu çalışmada ele alınan akıllı kent uygulamalarının incelenmesi ve değerlendirilmesi ile bu tarz akıllı kent uygulamalarının çeşitlendirilmesi ve yaygınlaştırılması konusunda öneriler getirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır.

Young people are important to cities, bringing skills and energy and contributing to economic activity. New technologies have led to the idea of a smart city as a framework for city management. Smart cities are developed from the top-down through government programmes, but also from the bottom-up by residents as technologies facilitate participation in developing new forms of city services. Young people are uniquely positioned to contribute to bottom-up smart city projects. Few diagnostic tools exist to guide city authorities on how to prioritise city service provision. A starting point is to understand how the youth value city services. This study surveys young people in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, and conducts an importance-performance analysis to identify which city services are well regarded and where the city should focus efforts and resources. The results show that Smart city initiatives that would most increase the satisfaction of youths in Braamfontein  include wireless connectivity, tools to track public transport  and  information  on city events. These  results  identify  city services that are valued by young people, highlighting services that young people could participate in providing. The importance-performance analysis can assist the city to direct effort and scarce resources effectively.
