By analyzing the evaluations made quality life, health, public safety, services. Hereby, appropriate measures taken against strategies increase cities. This paper proposes new decision making analysis evaluate compare For this aim, we considered which candidates smart in Turkey. At point, applied multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) criteria alternatives process. We also utilized from fuzzy logic model uncertainty best way. Furthermore, extended version ordinary sets is named spherical for first time with QUALIFLEX method. Thus, one most comprehensive qualitative analyses ever evaluation revealed usability by MCDM methods demonstrated. In addition, sensitivity was examine robustness proposed As result, novel approach has been
