Cities have become the engines of economic development more than ever before. Nowadays, numerous cities have been using technological and innovative service delivery tools called "smart city technologies and applications" to affect living conditions of their residents and visitors positively. These technologies and applications can be seen at government and private buildings, city facilities and management, informational and communicational technology infrastructure and personal services. They have a net-positive impact on the environment and natural resources by reducing harmful emissions, excessive and unnecessary use of energy, water, gas, public and private transport vehicles etc. On the city branding side, efficient, sustainable and powerful city economy, security, tidiness, regularity in urban facilities, enhanced civic imagery and a decent quality of life have made a city attractive to its target audiences. In this paper, smart city technologies and applications in the world's leading smart cities were examined. Thereafter, common and/or city-specific applications were listed. Finally, in the light of these findings, some suggestions were put forward for tourism cities which aim to realize sustainable economic development by means of tourism and be an attractive city/destination for their existing and prospective visitors.
Tourism is a sector that fundamentally produces "experience". Tourism is affected by advancement in the market and its environment. In recent years, innovation and new entrepreneurship in tourism are shifting to technology-intensive ones. The main aim of this study is to show the impact of technology on the areas of innovation and entrepreneurship in tourism destinations through examples. The study has shown that smart technologies have affected various tourism subcomponents for a long time. The destination has turned into "smart destination", as a result of using technology and applications in city infrastructure. Smart destination applications are expected to extend in usage due to their increasing effect on productivity and experience quality. Investigating case studies and successful world examples have been the main method followed in the current research for examining challenges in technological transformation in tourism destinations. The results of the study are expected to support an increase in tourism productivity and experience quality by also paying sufficient attention to facilitating the daily life of local people.
gol öncesinde yapılan pas sayısı, gol öncesi geçen süre, atılan gollerin bölgesi (ceza sahası içi ve dışı), golün hangi bölgeden geliştiği, golün geliştiği bölgede vücudun hangi uzvuyla yapıldığı, penaltıların olumlu-olumsuz durumu, sarı-kırmızı kart, kornerler, merkez-kanat duran toplar, frikik sayıları gibi parametrelerden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada elde edilen bütün veriler, SPSS (version 18.0) programında kayıt altına alınmış olup, öncelikle fekans ve yüzde değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Farklı ülke liglerinin birbirleriyle karşılaştırılması için tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) kullanılmış olup, farklılığın hangi gruptan kaynaklandığını tespit etmek için Tukey testi (Post Hoc) testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmada elde edilen bulgulara göre ceza sahası içi ve dışından atılan gollerde, gollerin vücudun hangi uzvuyla atıldığında, sol köşe vuruşundan gelen ayak ve kafa ile atılan gollerde, sağ köşe vuruşundan gelen kafa ile atılan gollerde, sol duran toplardan gelen ayak ile atılan gollerde, İngiltere Premier Liginin Almanya Bundesliga ve İspanya La Ligaya karşı anlamlı bir farklılığa ulaşılmıştır (p<0.05). Sarı ve kırmızı kart sayılarında İspanya La Liga liginde mücadele eden takımların gördükleri kart sayısı ile İngiltere Premier ve Almanya Bundesliga liglerinde ki takımların gördükleri kart sayıları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilmiştir (p<0.05). Diğer parametrelerde anlamlı bir farklılığa rastlanmamıştır (p>0,05). Sonuç: Araştırmada ortaya çıkan bulgulardan yola çıkılarak, İngiltere premier ligindeki takımların hücum hazırlığı, gol oluşumu gibi parametrelerde daha başarılı olduğu, diğer liglerde ki ekiplerin bu parametreleri geliştirecek uygun antrenman programlarına yer verip, bu özelliklerini geliştirerek daha üst seviyelere gelmeleri gerektiği düşünülmektedir.
