Özet
Smart cities, developed as alternative to classical urbanism, are areas where information andcommunication technologies are used to make places more livable, sustainable and efficient. Ifa city offers solutions to problems related to governance, people, economy, mobility,environment and living issues, it can be defined as "smart city". The smartness of cities can bemeasured on these six basic axes. By analyzing the smartness of cities, evaluations can be madeon the quality of life, health, public safety, environment and services. Hereby, appropriatemeasures can be taken against problems and strategies can be developed to increase thesmartness of cities. This paper proposes a new decision making analysis to evaluate andcompare the smartness of cities. For this aim, we considered the cities which are the candidatesto be smart areas in Turkey. At this point, we applied multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM)analysis to evaluate criteria and alternatives in the decision process. We also utilized from fuzzylogic to model the uncertainty in the best way. Furthermore, we applied extended version ofordinary fuzzy sets which is named spherical fuzzy sets for the first time with QUALIFLEXmethod. Thus, one of the most comprehensive qualitative analyses ever made in the evaluationof smart cities is revealed and the usability of spherical fuzzy sets by MCDM methods isdemonstrated. In addition, a sensitivity analysis was used to examine the robustness of theproposed method. As a result, a novel fuzzy decision-making approach has been proposed inthe evaluation of smart cities.
