Konya Metropolitan Municipality has published the "konyapedia.com" address, which is the digital version of Konya Encyclopedia. Konya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay said that they attach great importance to cultural studies as well as physical and social municipalism with the understanding of "Konya Model Municipalism". Stating that they have started to publish the Konya Encyclopedia, which contains all kinds of encyclopedic information about Konya, digitally via the "konyapedia.com" address, President Altay said, "Konya, a city where settled life in the world has continued uninterruptedly for 10 thousand years, has a rich historical accumulation. We have implemented this comprehensive work to transfer this historical accumulation of our ancient city to the future in the digital environment safely and to facilitate the access of all people to this information. The project will set an example for Konya Model Municipalism among local administrations in this field as in many areas. I hope that this beautiful work, which will further strengthen the memory of our city, will be beneficial."

Unlike the Konya Encyclopedia, konyapedia.com, which does not include the biographies of the living, also added a section for readers' article suggestions and contributions. In konyapedia.com, where 30 different classifications such as "Scholars and Parents", "Press", "Mayors", "Konya History" are made for readers to easily access the articles, there are 3 thousand 686 articles, while users can also add and update articles to the system.
