Free thinking - running
No full textWe've been running for two million years give or take. Shahidha Bari and Laurence Scott explore contemporary running as solitary inspiration and communal activity with the Geographer and 1999 Scottish Hill Running Champion, Hayden Lorimer, the artists Kai Syng Tan and Angus Farquhar, and the literary scholar and bare-foot artiste, Vybarr Cregan-Reid. Conversation ranges from feeling empowered on city streets to teaming up with the wind to the horrid history of the treadmill and explore whether Running deserves better representation in the arts. Guests: Vybarr Cregan-Reid - author of Footnotes How Running Makes Us Human Angus Farquhar, Creative Director of NVA Public Art, author of a blog 'The Grim Runner' Hayden Lorimer Running Geographer Kai Syng Tan, Artist and curator of a biennial festival Run Run Run Producer: Jacqueline Smith
Smart technolog es and reflect ons on local publ c issues in Turkey: A rev ew of metropol tan mun c pal t es
No full textIn this research, Internet of Things (IoT) and sensors which is characterized as smarttechnologies and the big data which substantially occurs based on these technologies havebeen discussed in terms of local governments. The technologies mentioned differ based on thespace where they are used and, in this context, bring innovations to the table for local servicessuch as transportation, security, waste, and infrastructure. On the other hand, the big data thatemerge by means of smart technologies strengthens the predictability in decisions bydecreasing the lapses. In this respect, it becomes possible to make more accurate decisions interms of local governments. However, in order for a slew of negative occurrences to not beexperienced in the process of obtaining and using data, it is important to show care to somematters (like data privacy and security). The reflection of new technological developments andbig data which is expressed within this context, on Turkish local governments how and howmuch had been examined on metropolitan municipalities. In obtaining data, strategic plans andannual activities reports of the metropolitan municipalities were used primarily. Also, in order todetermine metropolitan municipalities implementations on this subject; related municipalities web pages, academic researches and related news by means of search engines were benefitedfrom. In an examination aimed at strategic plans of metropolitan municipalities, it is determinedthat space is given to the concept of smart without giving room to concepts like IoT , sensors/detectors , and big data in detail, more on the topic of transportation . In this context,concepts such as smart signalization, smart stop, smart intersection, and smart ticket arebrought to the agenda with regard to transportation. Conversely, when the applications thatemerge are studied, it is seen that the topic of transportation takes a priority rank so as tocomplete the points that stand out in the strategic plan. Following transportations; water, energyand meteorological implementations are come to the forefront.Bu ara t rmada, ak ll teknolojiler olarak nitelendirilen nesnelerin interneti (Internet ofThings, IoT), sensörler ve büyük oranda bu teknolojilere ba l olarak ortaya ç kan büyük veri,yerel yönetimler ba lam nda ele al nm t r. Ad geçen teknolojiler kullan ld alana göre farkl l kgöstermekte ve bu ba lamda ula m, güvenlik, at k, altyap gibi yerel hizmetler için de yeniliklerigündeme getirmektedir. Di er taraftan ak ll teknolojiler arac l yla ortaya ç kan büyük veri,kararlardaki yan lmalar azaltarak öngörülebilirli i güçlendirmektedir. Bu sayede yerel yönetimleraç s ndan daha do ru kararlar vermek mümkün hale gelmektedir. Fakat verilerin elde edilme vekullan lma sürecinde birtak m olumsuzluklar n ya anmamas için baz hususlara (verileringizlili i ve güvenli i gibi) özen gösterilmesi önem arz etmektedir. Bu kapsamda ifade edilen yeniteknolojik geli melerin ve büyük verinin, Türkiye nin yerel yönetimlerine nas l ve ne derece yans d , büyük ehir belediyeleri üzerinden incelenmi tir. Verilerin elde edilmesinde, önceliklebüyük ehir belediyelerinin stratejik planlar ve faaliyet raporlar ndan yararlan lm t r. Ayr cabüyük ehir belediyelerinin bu konudaki uygulamalar n tespit etmek ad na; ilgili belediyelerinweb sayfalar ndan, akademik çal malardan, arama motorlar arac l yla ilgili haberlerdenyararlan lm t r. Büyük ehir belediyelerinin stratejik planlar na yönelik incelemede, daha çok ula m konusu ba lam nda, detayda IoT , sensörler/alg lay c lar ve büyük veri gibikavramlara yer vermeden, ak ll kavram na yer verildi i tespit edilmektedir.
