smart city

It will not be possible to effectively achieve the goals of the smart city without ensuring the security of this volume of data. Challenges such as data security, data privacy, data quality, data access, considering the interests of stakeholders at the same time and many other issues make it difficult to achieve smart city goals. In order to deal with these threats and also to reduce conflicts between security and Internet of Things services in Houshmand city, there is a need for "Internet of Things data security governance strategies in Houshmand city", which is presented as the main goal of the researcher in this research, and based on this, the researcher seeks to answer This question has been "What are the strategies of Internet of Things data security governance in the smart city?" After reviewing the national documents, the internal and external environment was recognized and analyzed, and based on the opinions of the experts, the relevant strategies were formulated, then they were prioritized based on the calculation of the benefits. Also, the impact of each of the mentioned strategies on the achievement of the goals was determined. These strategies are presented with the ability to be implemented and implemented in line with other areas, and by turning these strategies into executive plans and their implementation, and according to the data cycle in the smart city, the basic challenges of Internet of Things data security solved to an acceptable extent.

Urban management in the current decade is associated with many complexities in the political, social, economic, environmental, legal, technical and technological issues. The city of Rasht, as one of the important metropolises of Iran is facing complicated and different issues in urban management toward its development process. The use of new technologies in the form of smart cities can be considered as a solution for the city of Rasht. To achieve the smart city in the horizon of 1415 in accordance with the upstream documents (provincial planning document in the horizon of 1415 and national model document in the horizon of 1444), it is necessary to use forward-looking tools to create a preferred and desirable future with the participation of all key stakeholders. This study tries to identify and prioritize the drivers of the smart city with a strategic foresight approach and explain the potential scenarios in 1415.

The research is a combination of descriptive-analytical and survey which was conducted by using panel of experts (Delphi), cross-effect analysis using Mic Mac and scenario planning with scenario wizard.

In the present study, nine basic drivers in the realization of smart cities were extracted and three potential scenarios for Rasht in the horizon of 1415 have been explained.

According to the results of the present study, the scenario of "return of the golden age of Rasht" as a smart city was achieved in the horizon of 1415 as a desirable scenario.

Smartening is one of the important approaches of urban development that has been strengthened during the last two decades. Population growth and other developments show the importance of planning and smartening cities. On this basis, the metropolises have emphasized the smart approach in order to overcome some challenges and sustainable management in different sectors. The city of Shiraz, as one of the metropolises of the country, needs planning in line with the development of smart city indicators. Therefore, examining the current situation of this city can help the management and development of this city. In this research, the aim is to investigate the extent to which Shiraz city has smart city indicators. The research method is descriptive-analytical and based on field data collection. The data collection tool was a questionnaire. The statistical community is formed by experts who are knowledgeable about the subject. Based on the snowball method, 96 experts in three areas of this city completed the questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed through the elite society and its reliability was also confirmed using Cronbach's alpha more than 0.74. The result showed that the analysis of the results showed that all smart city indicators including economy, movement, citizen, governance, life and smart environment were significant at a level less than 0.05. Based on the results of the T-Tech test, it was found that the index of smart economy (3.432) and smart citizen (3.149) had an average status and the rest of the indicators were evaluated poorly. Also, based on the results of the Friedman test, the best situation is related to the smart economy index with an average rating of 5.04 and the worst situation is related to the governance index with an average of 1.72. In addition, the results of variance analysis confirmed that there is a significant difference between the regions of Shiraz city in terms of four indicators of movement, governance, life and smart environment at a level of less than 0.05.

A smart city, as the primary factor of sustainable urban development, utilizes various sensors and electronic methods to collect information. The goal is to integrate information and communication technologies with physical devices to optimize urban processes and provide efficient services, fostering communication with citizens. Smart city technology enables direct interaction with the community and urban infrastructure, addressing the city's and citizens' needs promptly.This thesis aims to explore desirable smart urban governance in Tehran, revealing that the fundamental dimensions of governance (participation, partnership, and decision-making systems) are below average. This indicates the weak role and position of citizens in the decision-making system. While most indicators are average, the southern and central parts of Tehran exhibit a less favorable situation compared to other areas, highlighting disparities in various sectors of the city regarding smart city indicators. Therefore, legislating, formulating cohesive policies, and having a long-term vision are crucial for achieving a smart city in Tehran. If realized, this could lead to city improvement, governmental transformation, and an organized change in the government structure.

The goal of complete intelligence of a city depends not only on how it plans and uses information and communication technology tools to improve the quality of life of its citizens, but also on the acceptance and coordination of the intelligentsia created with the needs of its citizens. The purpose of this research is the theoretical plan to change traditional structural model of the city to a structural model, urban intelligence and comparative study in order to identify digital indicators and intelligence of the city. This research has identified the indicators of smartening in urban management of Shiraz Municipality based on the comparative studies of two smart cities of Amsterdam and Barcelona and using the descriptive-analytical method. In order to identify strategies with the best results in successful smart cities and finally determine the appropriate approach to review layers of urban smart and its roadmap in the city of Shiraz.

In general, smart cities rely on information and communication technology to improve urban life, and smart city concepts are known as efforts to improve urban performance and the desire to provide solutions for urban problems in order to provide a higher quality of human life. As we saw during the Covid-19 era, governments around the world have turned to mandatory urban quarantine to make social distancing more effective. In these conditions, limited physical movements and daily activities were done regularly through remote work, which can be seen as the importance of urban smartness. In this research, the realization of a smart city with electronic and virtual government infrastructures and the smartening of government services by applying the main components of smart dynamics, smart economy, smart environment, smart governance, and smart people during the outbreak of Covid-19 in Mashhad were discussed. This research, in terms of method, is apart from quantitative-qualitative research, in terms of purpose, it is apart from applied research, and in terms of nature, and it is descriptive and analytical. In order to create a base of existing primary factors about the factors affecting the smart city, the technique of environmental scanning and literature review have been used. To collect information, documentary and survey methods were used, which used the questionnaire method. The results showed that the components of smart people, smart governance, and smart economy had the highest correlation with the concept of a smart city. In fact, by improving the mentioned components, the concept of a smart city will be realized largely. In the end, it can be said that the most effective component is smart people, and according to the results obtained from the statistical tests of the spread of the Covid-19 disease in the city of Mashhad, it has increased the component of people, governance, and smart economy.

The planning of future cities is one of the researchers' interests that has led to concepts such as smart cities and livable cities. On the other hand, the growth of inequality is one of the major concerns. This study presents an approach to reduce inequality in urban transportation by educating desirable behaviors to citizens.

This article uses documentary studies to identify the dimensions of inequality, new technologies in the future smart cities, and developing a gamification system. Also, essential technologies in smart future cities the identified by the Delphi method.

Experts identified the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and cloud computing as essential topics of new technologies. Then proposed an approach that citizens use active and public transportation systems more to reduce inequality.

A framework designed to use the new technologies for planning and managing smart future cities and utilizing the concept of gamification to reduce the costs of infrastructures, collecting and analyzing data. It also habituates citizens' proper transportation behaviors to reduce inequality in future cities by using active and public transportation.

The irreplaceable role of cities in economic, cultural and political development of countries, their challenges and problems and the difficulty of their management has resulted in an increasing significance of theories, experiences and strategies concerning city transformation. In the relevant literature, numerous concepts and approaches try to offer images of future of cities. One of these concepts is smart cities. Also, participative foresight can play a role in creating future images of cities. This study seeks to offer recommendations on how to create local and brand-new images of futures of cities in Iran and improve the quality of urban foresight practices. A thick report of an event ethnography has been given from a foresight workshop conducted in Isfahan municipality about futures of Isfahan, 1420, based on observations, field notes by ethnographers and the theoretical interpretation of them. Utilization of participative deliberation and foresight techniques and event ethnography to create images of future is the innovative dimension of this paper. Adding materiality to future, deconstruction of technological utopianism discourse, conceptualization of foresight as a social capacity deriving from civic epistemologies and agonism, moving beyond used futures, and creation of neologisms can improve urban foresight practices.

The current research was conducted with the aim of designing a model of cultural citizenship based on cultural rights in a smart city. This research is of a qualitative type and is developmental-applicative in terms of its purpose, and in terms of its nature and form of implementation, it was done in a descriptive-survey manner. The statistical population of the research includes all professors and faculty members of public and open universities and elites in the field of urban management, information and communication technology in Tehran province, and sampling was done using the snowball method, and finally theoretical saturation occurred with 19 interviews. The data collection tool included a semi-structured interview, and coding and foundational data theory methods were used to analyze the specialized interviews. Based on the findings, the model of factors affecting cultural citizenship based on cultural rights in the smart city was designed. The results indicate that this model has 6 main dimensions, including causal conditions (lack of urban development, cultural stagnation and cultural diversity, socio-political problems, etc.), interveners (media and networks, infrastructure, beliefs, etc.). .), background conditions (management factors, environmental factors, legal and legal factors, etc.), central category (unity and participation, urban development, fulfillment of cultural citizenship duties, etc.), strategies (public education of citizenship duties, creating database and information, management of communication and implementation of cultural rights, etc.) and consequences (obvious macro consequences, individual consequences and socio-political consequences, etc.) have been determined. Finally, practical suggestions were presented based on the research results.
