A MOBILE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT THAT SHOWS THE CRIME RATE IN ISTANBUL

Summary/Abstract: Crime rates have a very important place in evaluating social welfare of countries and the factors affecting this is a dynamic issue. Types of crimes can be classified in different categories. For example, categories of crimes according to the Turkish Criminal Code types include treason crimes, crimes against liberty, crimes against the state administration, crimes committed against the courthouse, crimes against public order, crimes against public trust, crimes against public welfare, crimes against public morality and family order, crimes of violence against individuals and properties and cybercrimes. Istanbul is experiencing a high problem in terms of crime rates. The fact that the number of unsolved cases is around 33% reveals the need for an urgent solution to this problem. It is possible to develop a program to slow down this increase and increase people's safety. This program can contribute to make people feel safer and help them have a more protected environment. This program is better suited as a mobile application. This application will both ensure the safety of the people and facilitate the work of law enforcement. As a result of this application, citizens will be able to see the safest and most dangerous neighborhoods with one-click and behave accordingly. This application is primarily intended for visitors of Istanbul in addition to the people who have just moved to the area. The aim of this study is to reduce the crime rate in Turkey starting from Istanbul and provide the safety of the citizens with the help of a mobile application. Therefore, this application targeted crime rates. However, this application can also be extended to other cities and other countries. Numbeo’s API will be used in this application. Numbeo is the world’s largest cost of living database. Numbeo is also a crowd-sourced global database of quality of life information including housing indicators, perceived crime rates, and quality of healthcare, among many other statistics. This study distinguishes from other studies by both raising awareness and taking on social responsibility.
