Sustainable development of smart cities and smart territories based on the model of minimizing externalities

The development of conceptual models of a digital city poses numerous challenges for developers. The public sector concept model has become one of the most difficult models to use. When developing algorithms to find a solution, the multidirectional interests of businesses and public institutions are combined. This type of model reflects the most acute and urgent problems faced by megapolises with regard to combining numerous localized services provided to the community in a limited territory. The administrations of both cities and regions (the scale of the smart territories) must make decisions concerning overcoming the barriers existing between the profits of commercial structures, the negative externalities generated by their activities, and the social benefits to the population in the territory under their control. It is necessary to solve this problem to achieve the effective management of enterprises belonging to the segment of long-term participants in various business activities, interacting with the surrounding social and business environment in a complex. This study takes into account the complex structures of the economic processes characteristic of megacities. The periodicity of economic processes is also taken into account. When choosing an optimization criterion, functions reflecting the level of internalization of responsibility for external effects were considered. The authors propose a mathematical model that can be used as part of the management decision support systems software, aiming at taking into account the externalities of a wide range of national, institutional, business, and social activities.

“… 19 The digital transformation of both logistics networks and marketing channels is a tool for implementing the smart city perspectives in post-pandemic governance. 20 The basis for this study was the theoretical research on the workload of megapolises. We suggest considering Alpha cities as centers of the following group of activities: business events, meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions corporate segment; the flow of people attending landmark social and sporting events, and social life phenomena; sightseeing, places of interest (POI) of cities of the level from Alpha to Alpha ++ by the Globalization and World Cities Research network (GaWC) 21 rating; medical services, modern hospital centers; social mobility of workers in megapolises; student mobility (a characteristic feature of most megapolises).…”

Smart city perspectives in post-pandemic governance: Externalities reduction policy

et al. 2022

Background: The ongoing COVID-19 quarantine restrictions have caused multiple sharp decreases in activities associated with the movement of large masses of people. The economies of regions and cities that are critically dependent on tourist flows related to various segments have suffered. This research aims to provide an economic-mathematical model of smart cities externalities’ impact from the point of view of achieving social and environmental goals Methods: The objective of this study was to develop an algorithm for supporting decision-makers. Methods of mathematical modeling, statistical processing of data received in real-time, as well as methods for finding solutions by expansion into dynamic series are used, and the theory of mathematical games is applied. The theoretical mathematical model presented considers the statistical processing of data provided in real time referring to the performance indicators of megacities. Results: The activities of administrations and governments aimed at maintaining stability over the past two years have been aimed at reducing the negative impact of the pandemic. The prospect of returning to normal conditions is complicated by a number of factors. The proposed approach allows the development of the fundamental basis for making administrative decisions within individual megapolises and in environmental policy on a territory of any scale. The developed mathematical model is abstract by definition and is applied by taking into account specific tasks and criteria. Since the tasks of the administration differ depending on the region and country, the choice of criteria is set individually. Conclusions: During the period of isolation, the volume of services in the Hotel - Restaurant- Catering/Café (HORECA) segment has decreased, and personnel has also been lost. The reduced pressure on public infrastructure and the departure of migrants means that, in the long term, this work cannot be restored within a short period of time.

“…Urbanization, driven by rapid population growth and economic development, has transformed the global landscape and resulted in the proliferation of ecological environment risk [1][2][3][4][5]. The process of urbanization alters natural landscapes [6][7][8], leads to the loss of biodiversity [9][10][11], increases pollution levels [12,13], and disrupts ecosystem services [14][15][16]. As a result, the quality of the urban ecological environment is becoming increasingly recognized as a critical factor for sustainable urban development.…”

Urbanization has led to enormous pressure on the urban ecological environment, especially in coastal cities. It is important to evaluate the ecological quality of coastal cities. We compared the remote sensing-based ecological index (RSEI) and the water benefit-based ecological index (WBEI) indices of Fuzhou City, and selected the WBEI to assess the changes in the quality of the ecological environment in Fuzhou City from 2000 to 2020 and analyzed the relevant changes in land intensity. The results show that (1) the Fuzhou WBEI outperforms the RSEI in the evaluation of ecological quality in the study area, since the WBEI takes into account water efficiency and can more accurately represent the ecological environment of coastal cities; (2) during 2000–2020, the overall trend of ecological quality in Fuzhou is better, with nonsignificant decreasing areas in the western and northern mountainous areas and a significant increasing trend in the southeast coast; and (3) different land use types influence the urban ecological environment quality, with forests and man-made surfaces having a good correlation with the WBEI. The increase in forests contributes to the improvement of urban ecological environment quality, and the conversion of high-intensity arable land and construction land decreases urban ecological environment quality. This study can provide a basic reference for the assessment of ecological environment quality in Fuzhou City and provide experience for the ecological environment assessment of coastal cities.
