“…Despite the variety of smart practices, citizen participation is weak. Deficiency or unwillingness to participate can lead to new forms of marginalization and exclusion, resulting in behaviors such as avoidance of smart technologies (Joo, 2023, p. 10; Kong & Woods, 2018, p. 691). Different discourses in Smart Nation, which covers political, social, and economic fields, may reveal tensions and possible contradictions (G.…”

The use of ICT to optimize urban processes, activities, efficiency and effectiveness of services turns cities into smart. Smart cities make it necessary to plan, monitor and analyze the city, except for the routine functions of the city. The study examined what smart city research projects are in five representative smart cities (London, New York, Singapore, Barcelona, and Istanbul) and whether there are similarities or differences in background assumptions. The literature used has a global reach; cities around the world have been chosen for comparison. By evaluating the existing literature, it has been evaluated that smart cities are the most successful and the weakest issues. Despite the centrality of New York and London’s smart city policies; they are fairly superior in economic competition. Public participation in smart city projects is already weak in Singapore and Istanbul. Barcelona has a more participatory policy than other cities, but it needs to develop a smart governance perspective. The study concludes with how the smart city ideology achieves its goals. The study adds value to smart city research by a critical look at the subject. Combining the results of practical smart city initiatives, it concludes the practicality and usefulness of smart city development.

“…Singapur'un güçlü ve müdahaleci devleti, 1959'dan beri iktidarda kalan PAP (People's Action Party)'ın siyasi liderliği altında egemenliğini sürdürmektedir. Ayrıca, küçük bir kent devleti olarak Singapur'un ulusal kalkınma hedefleri, o zamandan beri küresel kent olma ve yerel kentsel gelişim arayışları ile yakından uyumludur (Joo, 2021). Uyguladığı başarılı politikalar ile Singapur, büyük bir küresel ticaret, finans ve ulaşım merkezine dönüşmüştür.…”

Estonia, which gained its independence in 1991, has carried out studies to create a digital citizen by using blockchain technology. Singapore, which is located in the southernmost part of the Asian continent and is poor in terms of natural resources, but is now an important trade center in the world, has shown a successful digital transformation performance. In this respect, these countries have been chosen as examples worth examining. Answers were sought to the questions of what kind of digital transformation Estonia and Singapore are going through and what practices that can inspire other cities in this transformation that took place in a short time. In Estonia, especially in Tallinn, projects have been carried out for the smart economy, smart mobility, smart environment, smart people, smart governance and smart life components of the smart city. Estonia's prominent smart and digital projects; contactless mobile payment, autonomous vehicle, 3D Urban Information Model, SmartEnCity Initiative, digital signature, mobile identity card, e-residence, DigiDoc, e-cabinet, e-law, e-tax, e-school, online voting, x- road data layer is the Telliskivi Loomelinnak Transformation Project. Smart projects realized by Singapore are; Lab on Wheels and SkillsFuture programs, HealthHub, OneService, SafeEntry, MyTransport.SG mobile apps, Auto Rider Autonomous Vehicle and 3D printing center. The main purpose of the study is to make a comparative evaluation on the projects developed by identifying smart or digital applications realized in Singapore and Estonia. In the study, the case study method, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used.

“…However, there is a lack of research on how real-time spatial-temporal movements of the population affect micro mobility ridership in the pandemic. As Seoul as one of leading smart cities collects data related to urban mobility services – usages of bus ridership, metro ridership, and micro mobility at each station level – in addition to mobile phone-based floating population data and provides them as open data ( Joo, 2021 ; Lee et al, 2018 ; Lim et al, 2018 ), the changes of micro mobility usages in response to COVID-19 and the role of micro mobility in post-COVID can be accessed. To address these gaps and the importance of micro mobility as an alternative public transportation solution during and after COVID-19 in urban areas, this research aims to study how COVID-19 affects bike-sharing services and how other factors impact bike-sharing ridership in Seoul without nationwide lockdown during the pandemic.…”
