Özet:

Cities have been constantly changing since the early ages of history, due to the influence of technological developments. With industrialization, cities have become places where people live intense, developing and changing needs are met. Technological developments have led to differences in structural styles as well as in the forming of cities. With the influence of economic and technological developments, the increasing population of cities and residents have to try new governance models to ensure peace and security. As cities reach increasingly uncontrollable sizes, the information technology has found a new area of application for them, the city governments have begun to equip urban services with smart applications. As the effectiveness of smart apps in cities increases, cyber attacks and threats against these apps will also increase. The incitement of international efforts, the attempt of malicious forces to take action that threatens urban security, is a common situation. While international relations in the world are increasingly losing their peaceful character, it is unlikely that such attacks will not occur. Taking the necessary measures in connection with cyber attacks could also lead to significant problems in countries that do not produce this technology. This study explores how secure the increasing number of smart cities are against cyber threats and the nature of cyber problems that may occur. The study is limited to the smart city applications in Turkey. By obtaining data on the subject through the scan method, literature evaluates what the potential cyber hazards that smart city applications are expected to be widely used in the future may be.
