The Impact of Database on Geographical Information System and Smart Cities

Abstract

The research discusses the substantial influence of databases in smart cities, affecting various facets and people's lives. It emphasizes the impact on Information Technology (IT) spending and database features, allowing access from anywhere at any time. Key elements crucial for smart city implementation include sustainability, adaptability, governance, improved living conditions, resource management, and city amenities. The research highlights defined components of smart cities and their applications, such as healthcare, mass transit, education, and energy services. It also focuses on how integrating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) aids decision-making. The study emphasizes the use of cloud computing for smart city database systems, outlining its benefits in data collection, storage, and analysis across various cloud nodes and facilities. It also highlights industries such as health insurance, public transportation, smart buildings, and energy that benefit from these technologies in decision-making processes. The paper's objective is to review database applications in smart cities and explore the potential use of big data..
