Smart Cities and Sustainable Urban Regeneration

compiled. The goals, targets and actions related to urban regeneration
processes are categorized under the heading of direct relations in Table
4. Subsequently, national or local-scale goals, objectives and actions that
are considered/anticipated to affect the urban regeneration process were
scanned, and the goals, targets and actions within this scope were categorized
under the heading of indirect relations in the same table. When the findings
regarding two types of relationships were identified as a result of the content
analysis, this relationship was recorded in the mentioned table under the
heading of indirect/direct relationship. A similar classification was made for
the performance indicators defined particularly for the actions that have a
direct/indirect relationship with urban regeneration, and the findings are
presented under the heading of relationship in Table 5.
Following the examination of the targets and actions, the performance
indicators defined for each action were grouped thematically in the context
of their relationship with sustainable urban regeneration. For this grouping,
Ulubaş Hamurcu and Aysan Buldurur’s study, in 2017, titled as Performance
Indicators for Sustainable Urban Regeneration was used. The direct and
indirect relationships determined as a consequence of the content analysis
between the sustainable urban regeneration components described in the
aforementioned study and the performance indicators listed in the previous
stage are marked in detail in Table 5. As in the previous stage, indirect
relationships were also tried to be described, considering the performance
indicators that were thought/anticipated to provide input to urban
regeneration processes, even though they were not included in the definition
of action. In addition, for each performance indicator, the measurement
and evaluation at the national and (or) local scale targeted by the relevant
performance indicator is categorized and presented in Table 5.

4. Performance Measurement of Smart and Sustainable Urban Re-
generation: Findings and Discussion

According to the content analysis, there are a total of 13 actions directly
related to urban regeneration and a total of 112 performance indicators
defined under these actions in the 2020-2023 NSCSAP (see Table 4 and Table
5). It has been determined that some of these indicators target measurement
and evaluation at the national scale (101 performance indicators) and some at
the local scale (93 performance indicators) (see Table 5).
