“…The success of these incentives will be written into best practice cases and subsequently published. Unless financial assistance guarantees the desired effect (specifically to reach the outlined objectives), a strategy will need to be adapted which objectives are likely to be very ambitious, but which would have to be achieved through evolutionary development (Batten, 2016;Šulyová & Kubina, 2022b).…”

Climate change, urbanisation and population growth are creating the necessity in urban systems to integrate the management of water resources which volume been significantly declined. Several cities are already feeling water stress. The solution is to conceptualise Smart Cities that are considering aspects of effective water resources management. Countries like Slovakia have not been adequately considering these issues as much as they should. Responding to the opportunity to fill a research gap, primary research has been conducted that seeks i) to update data from the Arcadis Sustainable Cities Water Index in selected cities and for Slovakia; ii) to identify the current situation in integrated water resources management both globally and in Slovakia; and iii) to propose a process for integrated management of limited water resources based on our own research findings. Research data were collected through sociological interrogation that was processed and subsequently evaluated. The findings point to the need to build resilience, efficiency and quality in water resources both in urban environments and in water management institutions. The main output from this paper is a proposed process for managing water resources within the Smart Cities concept. It can be utilised for strategic city management, water management institutions, fellow researchers and residents of any city implementing it in their own practices. Part of planned future research is to verify the process in practice.

The output of this work is a comprehensive overview of a wide range of key aspects of security and privacy relevant for the development of smart cities in Slovakia. The work incorporates heterogeneous and complex findings into a corpus of simplified evidence. By employing a systematic review method, this study first outlines key characteristics of a smart city, and then proceeds to summarise opportunities and challenges for conceptualising a model of a smart city in Slovakia. The development of a classification with respect to the different smart city domains, systems and potential threats aims to highlight universally applicable aspects. In order to provide an overview, the paper also presents specific requirements, options, problems, and factors taking into account Slovak policies. This work is based on the proposition that a sustainable and prosperous conceptual model of a smart city is not only linked with technological artefacts and communication infrastructure that enable intelligent management of various governance resources, but is especially tied to the norms, policies, and standards that ensure security and privacy for smart city residents, as their presence and trust in the whole ecosystem is essential for the generation, collection, processing, storage, dissemination, and use of data by respectful technologies. A secure smart city is a cross-disciplinary dilemma, a universal technological challenge built upon context-based policies, standards and procedures. The output of this work is an identification of smart city domains that can become subject to attacks and a stipulation of security requirements that are needed to assure domain functionality. Maintaining meaningful human control as a requirement to mitigate influence activities as well as protect and ensure residential engagement in a smart city was identified and added to the results of the review. Simple communication was highlighted as an effective countermeasure. Applicability of the smart city concept in Slovakia is particularly vulnerable due to the slow pace of implementation and fragmentation of relevant legislation, short development cycle of new techniques of attack, and the lack of expertise and low level of user awareness.
