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.
