“…The key technologies of the digital city include soft infrastructure and hard infrastructure. (1) Soft infrastructure consists of people observation systems (POS), ICT and cloud infrastructure [74][75][76], professional processing systems [54,57,58,77,78], and others.

In the era of big data, smart cities have become a promising prospect for governments, citizens, and industrials. Many ideas and their derived systems for smart cities depend on big data for achieving a goal of data intelligence. However, there is an urgent transformation trend from data intelligence to service intelligence in the vision of smart cities due to the living requirements of citizens. People-centric service intelligence in smart cities has to support the realization of people’s needs within urban and social domains. This paper introduces a concept of people-centric service intelligence, defines the level of it and its challenges in the aspect of infrastructure, human dynamics, human understanding and prediction, and the human–machine interface. Then, this paper proposes the theoretical framework and technical frameworks of people-centric service intelligence, and the service intelligence schemas for future construction of smart cities. It will be helpful for governments and industries to design people-centric service intelligence for improving the quality of life, the capabilities of good sustainability, and better development.

“…In other words, this performance is measured by a battery of indicators, which are understood as a methodological instrument, since the analysis of the used indicators allows political decision-makers to identify cities' opportunities/threats so that their global performance can improve continuously and sustainably (U4SSC 2017), irrespective of their size. Corroborating this argument, Borsekova et al (2018) concluded that a city's size does not determine the implementation of strategies emphasizing creativity, intelligence and sustainability, since people are important in their integrated approach (Giffinger et al 2007, Hollands 2008, Nam and Pardo 2011.…”

The urgency to make today’s cities competitive has made political decision-makers focus on strategies oriented towards creativity, intelligence and urban sustainability. This scenario has led to the need to measure, assess and monitor the effects of those strategies on cities’ performance. Therefore, this study aims to present the scientific and robust weighting of the creativity, intelligence and urban sustainability dimensions in cities’ holistic, integrated and overall performance. Implicit in this objective is the previous construction of Composite Indices for each of those dimensions. In this context, the Exploratory Factor Analysis was found to be appropriate to respond to this aim, with empirical evidence being obtained in Portugal. The results show a weighting of 38%, 23.4% and 39.6% for creativity, intelligence and urban sustainability respectively. The contributions and implications for theory and practice, followed by indications for future research and the conclusions are also presented.

“…As cidades têm um papel fundamental quanto à contribuição com a sustentabilidade, não sendo apenas sistemas econômicos (Rosales, 2017). Segundo Borsekova et al (2018), tanto cidades inteligentes de médio porte como as cidades inteligentes grandes têm ganhos ecológicos, apesar de que as de médio porte costumam ter melhores condições ambientais e de vida. Os autores veem como justificativa o fato de que em cidades inteligentes os planejadores urbanos, assim como seus habitantes, dão maior importância ao ambiente em que vivem.…”

Resumo O conceito de cidades inteligentes, apesar de não possuir uma definição universalmente aceita, está cada vez mais sendo discutido. Com o aumento significativo da porcentagem da população que vive em cidades e o consequente aumento do uso dos recursos, novos modelos de cidades são desenhados para que tal crescimento possa ser sustentável. A energia é um dos principais recursos necessários para o homem, e novas formas de geração de energia devem ser consideradas. Devido às condições geográficas brasileiras, o uso da energia fotovoltaica aparenta ser uma excelente opção, porém hoje corresponde a aproximadamente 2% da energia total brasileira. Este trabalho buscou relacionar de que forma as condições meteorológicas influenciam na geração de energia de painéis fotovoltaicos, de modo a permitir a criação de ferramentas que identifiquem regiões com alto potencial de geração de energia fotovoltaica. As variáveis meteorológicas foram consideradas como variáveis independentes do modelo proposto, que buscava explicar a variável dependente Energia. Os resultados demonstraram uma potencial geração de energia solar fotovoltaica em diversos locais no Brasil, já que a incidência de radiação solar foi identificada como a variável que mais explica a energia gerada, e o país possui altas taxas desta variável em toda sua extensão.
