<![CDATA[The rapid development of smart cities has increased the demand for efficient resource management and personalized services, where understanding consumption patterns is crucial. Big data analysis offers a powerful tool for predicting these patterns, enabling city planners and service providers to make data-driven decisions to enhance urban living quality. This study aims to utilize big data analytics to predict consumption patterns across various sectors in smart cities, including energy, water, and transportation. By leveraging large datasets, this research seeks to provide actionable insights for optimizing resource allocation and anticipating future consumption demands. The methodology involves collecting and analyzing data from multiple sources, such as IoT sensors, public utility records, and social media, to identify consumption trends. Machine learning algorithms, including time series analysis and clustering, were applied to detect patterns and forecast demand. Results indicate that big data analytics can accurately predict consumption fluctuations, with an 85% accuracy in energy demand forecasting and a 78% accuracy in water usage prediction. The findings highlight correlations between demographic factors and consumption, providing a comprehensive understanding of urban needs. The study concludes that big data analysis is a valuable approach to managing resources effectively in smart cities. By predicting consumption patterns, city planners can proactively address demand surges, reduce waste, and improve resource distribution, ultimately supporting sustainable urban growth. Implementing these insights could significantly enhance smart city efficiency and resilience.]]>
