Abstract
Abstract. The development of technology resulted major revolutions in the cities. With the integration of technological developments into cities, the concept of smart cities began to emerge. Today, applications are made on smart cities in many countries. It is not possible to build a smart city without geographic data. It is one of the main duties of Geomatics Engineers to produce, use, process and finalize the geographic data and present it to the user. In this study, referring to the role of Geomatics Engineer in smart cities across Turkey 2020-2023 National Smart Cities Strategy and Action Plan framework is made in the investigations. When this plan is examined, it is seen that the importance of geographical/geo-spatial data and geo-information technologies for the realization of smart cities is an undeniable fact. In the 2020–2023 National Smart Cities Strategy and Action Plan, it has been clearly demonstrated that Geographic Information Systems and Geographic Information Technologies have a great role in creating smart cities.
Highlights
It is a known fact that many positive reasons such as soil insufficiency in rural areas, population growth, lack of infrastructure in rural areas, technological developments in agriculture, as well as employment opportunities in cities, social life opportunities have encouraged people to migrate from rural areas to the city
Geomatics Engineers play a crucial role in this spatial data management and indirectly in the smart city because many components in the smart city requires spatial data
After giving basic information about the smart city and its main components, the subject of what Geomatics Engineers can do within the smart city components is discussed within the framework of the "Turkish 2020-2023 National Smart Cities Strategy and Action Plan"
Summary
It is a known fact that many positive reasons such as soil insufficiency in rural areas, population growth, lack of infrastructure in rural areas, technological developments in agriculture, as well as employment opportunities in cities, social life opportunities have encouraged people to migrate from rural areas to the city. The smart city cannot be precisely defined, it has been expressed in many different ways in the national and international arena It was defined as: "It is a new concept and a new model in which new generation information communication technologies such as the internet of things, cloud computing, big data and integrated geographical information systems are implemented, which will facilitate the planning, management, construction, and smart services of the city" (URL 1). Another definition was made as: "Smart and sustainable city, while considering the economic, social, environmental and cultural needs of current and future generations; It is an innovative city that uses information and communication technologies and other tools to increase the quality of life, the efficiency and competitiveness of urban service delivery" (URL 1). After giving basic information about the smart city and its main components, the subject of what Geomatics Engineers can do within the smart city components is discussed within the framework of the "Turkish 2020-2023 National Smart Cities Strategy and Action Plan"
