    Knowledge-Based Urban Development: Planning and Applications in the Information Era
    (IGI Global Publishing, 2008) Yiğitcanlar, Tan; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Baum, S.
    In the globalizing world, knowledge and information (and the social and technological settings for their production and communication) are now seen as keys to economic prosperity. The economy of a knowledge city creates value-added products using research, technology, and brainpower. The social benefit of knowledge-based urban development (KBUD); however, extends beyond aggregate economic growth. Knowledge-Based Urban Development: Planning and Applications in the Information Era covers the theoretical, thematic, and country-specific issues of knowledge cities to underline the growing importance of KBUD all around the world, providing academics, researchers, and practitioners with substantive research on the decisive lineaments of urban development for knowledge-based production (drawing attention to new planning processes to foster such development), and worldwide best practices and case studies in the field of urban development. © 2008 by IGI Global.

    A Framework for Integrating Disadvantaged Analysis Into Transportation Planning Models
    (Gold Coast, 2006) Yiğitcanlar, Tan; Duvarcı, Yavuz
    The ability to access personal or public transportation is fundamental for people to connect with employment opportunities, health and medical services, educational services, and the community at large. However certain populations lack the ability to provide their own transportation or have difficulty accessing whatever conventional public transportation may be available (Department of Transportation 2003). The ‘transportation disadvantaged’ populations are those persons who are unable to transport themselves or are unable to purchase transportation due to physical or mental disability, income status, or age. Therefore, the transportation disadvantaged are dependent upon others to obtain access to health care, employment, education, shopping, and other life sustaining activities. Additionally, since disadvantage is a personal experience, it can be simply characterised as what people perceive to be transportation disadvantage (Raje 2003).

    Understanding the Supply Side: Ict Experience of Marmara Region, Turkey
    (Information Science Reference, 2008) Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Yiğitcanlar, Tan
    Marmara region's local governments in Turkey are setting the benchmark for the country in the implementation of spatial information systems and e-governance. The chapter aims to shed light on organizational realities of recent practices of information systems and technologies based on the evidences from selected local government organizations in the Marmara region. This chapter scrutinizes these practices and discusses the pivotal relationship between the information and communication technologies and its local organizational context within the region. The chapter also exemplifies challenges and opportunities of the Marmara as an emerging information and communication technology-supported region by illustrating the specific information and communication technology supply instruments. The chapter reveals that the particular success in supply side does not guarantee the sustainable information and communication technology implementation. There are other concerns including demand side that are strongly linked to a realistic understanding of end user demand, the institutional capacity of respected organizations, public-private partnership, and the joined-up policy efforts at both national and local levels.

    Online Participatory Decision Support Tools for Knowledge-Based Urban Development
    (Information Science Reference, 2008) Yiğitcanlar, Tan; Saygın, Mustafa Ömür; Han, Jung Hoon
    Particularly in the last decade, there have been a number of efforts to develop and then integrate planning support systems into existing geographic information systems. This integration brought a new technology called WebGIS, which enables geographic information systems functionalities through the Internet for decision support. No doubt there is a growing demand as more and more individuals want to use online government services to express their views and most importantly to take part in decisionmaking processes interactively. At this point, WebGIS offers a challenging opportunity for online participatory planning since the public could easily access alternative plans and the existing information in geographic information systems databases. This technology enables individuals to be able to take part in plan-making processes and contribute. This chapter explores how these new technological advances could achieve truly transparent plan-making process based on online participatory planning support tools that knowledge-based urban development could benefit from.

    Queensland's Smart State Initiative: a Successful Knowledge Based Urban Development Strategy?
    (Information Science Reference, 2008) Yiğitcanlar, Tan; Velibeyoğlu, Koray
    During the last two decades, knowledge-based development has become an important mechanism for knowledge economies. In a knowledge economy, information and communication technology is extensively seen as a potentially beneficial set of instruments, which may improve the welfare and competitiveness of nations and cities. At present, both public and private actors aim to exploit the expected benefits of information and communication technology developments. These technologies offer unprecedented promise for social and economic development on all global, national, regional, urban, and local levels. Therefore, this chapter seeks to investigate the potential of information and communication technology policy at both regional and urban levels, and, in particular, to shed light on various factors that influence urban information technology policies in the public domain. The chapter sets out to explain the knowledge-based urban development processes and challenges and opportunities in information acceptance and use in urban policy-making in Queensland, Australia. This chapter draws on providing a clear understanding on policy frameworks and relevant technology applications of the Queensland Smart State experience.
