Abstract:

With smart cities, people's living areas become better and their living standards rise. People can easily access the information they want and plan accordingly. In this way, they live a better quality and productive world. They can also remotely control and direct any smart system at home, in his car or in his office, regardless of time and location. In addition, thanks to intelligent systems, government agencies can control different parts of the city as well as foresee and take precautionary damages. Health, military, industrial, environmental, agricultural, logistics, transportation systems are realized with economic and social gains. All these smart systems require infrastructure. There are many technical and financial needs such as the servers that the devices that make up the systems can send the data, the servers where these data will be stored, the maintenance and security of these servers. At this point, Cloud Computing emerges. Cloud computing, a new generation of topics, is the general name of Internet-based IT services that can be used by computers and other devices at any time and provides shared resources among users. With Cloud Computing, users can access the system from anywhere on the internet. Cloud Computing is becoming a part of technologies in smart cities with its success in cost, global scale, speed, performance, efficiency, security and reliability. With cloud computing, servers, storage areas, databases and numerous application services are easily accessible over the internet, making integration of the systems in smart cities and the exchange of information between them more constructive. In this study, the role of Cloud Computing in smart cities will be explained. The current literature review will reveal the latest trends in these two areas. The study is considered to be beneficial for smart cities technology developers.
