“…In conclusion, on the basis of the study, it is possible to confirm the wide range of ICT use by representatives of Generation Z, which is consistent with previous research results in the literature [12,13,15,99,120,132,177]. Moreover, their interest in using ICT to support smart mobility solutions in smart cities can be pointed out, which also confirms the results of previous studies on ICT relationships to the smart mobility-related areas of sustainable smart cities [17,157,158].…”

“…For this reason, although some shared features appear in each generation, their local differentiation may also occur. In general, it is assumed that there are currently five generations of adults living in the world: Veterans (born between 1925 and1946), Baby Boomers , Generation X , Generation Y and Generation Z (1995-2010) [18,[97][98][99][100][101]. This paper focuses primarily on Generation Z.…”

“…Gen Z spends a lot of time in front of computers or mobile devices, usually on the internet. Multitasking, understood in this context as skipping from task to task, is a norm for them, so they use it for a whole range of activities: communication, information retrieval and research, verifying fake news and checking reviews [15,99,132]. They use the internet for their entertainment and spend free time playing games, watching videos, streaming, following or sharing their interests, and for various social activities such as becoming involved in formatting public opinions and civic participation, mobilising civic protests and boycotts.…”

Smart sustainable cities represent a great challenge for the modern world. Generation Z (Gen Z), whose representatives are now entering adult life, will play a key role in the implementation of this concept. The purpose of this study is to investigate the nature of the relationship between the evaluation of smart mobility’s importance for a smart city and the attitudes and behaviours of Generation Z members in the context of sustainability, use of ICT, and their declarative and actual participation in smart-city activities. The diagnostic survey method was used to achieve the research objective. The authors designed the questionnaire based on a literature analysis. The research sample consisted of 484 representatives of Generation Z—students of universities located in a smart city, Lublin (Poland). The collected data was statistically analysed using the following methods and statistical tests: Cronbach’s alpha, Pearson’s chi-square test for independence, symmetric measures: Cramer’s V, and the contingency coefficient. The analysis of the obtained research results confirms that the conscious approach of Generation Z to sustainability has a significant and positive impact on their evaluation of actions taken in the field of smart mobility for a smart city. A similar relationship was confirmed with regard to the relationship between ICT use and smart-mobility evaluation. The significant and positive impact of young people’s participation in smart cities on their evaluation of smart-mobility solutions’ importance was not fully and unequivocally confirmed. In conclusion, the Generation Z representatives’ awareness of the importance of sustainability and caring for the natural environment was confirmed by their desire to be pro-ecological in the areas of smart mobility studied in the paper. Moreover, young people who constantly use the latest technologies see their huge potential for the development of smart mobility in cities. However, despite the growing expectations of citizens’ active attitudes and their increasing participation in smart-mobility development, it seems that the representatives of Generation Z are not really interested in it. Their declarations of willingness to join various opinion-forming and decision making processes do not actually transform them into active co-creators of smart-mobility solutions. Changing this approach can be an educational, organisational and technological challenge for smart-city authorities. The obtained research results could be used as guidelines for facilitating the search for innovative solutions in the area of smart mobility, improving the quality of life of smart-city residents based on the principle of sustainable development.

Today’s business development processes force companies to find ways to increase the level of interactivity of their products with consumers. One of the ways that companies communicate interactively with users is communication via websites; another way is using a channel that makes the customer more loyal to the company. The aim of this paper is to point out the differences between the effects that interactive and non-interactive blockchain technologies have on users and their behavior, as well as to determine whether the same degree of interactivity is achieved with users who use the same site via computers or mobile phones. For this purpose, three models by Song, Liu, and Wu were compared, which gives this paper a superior precision and depth of research regarding the above-mentioned problem. Furthermore, the contributions of the paper are reflected in a comprehensive and detailed review of previous research on the topic of interactivity and the importance of using a website, showing the specific effects expected from users after the introduction of interactive website features, as well as indicating a difference in customer perception and behavior after using a different site search device.
