“…However, an analysis of the literature clearly indicates that the approach to smart cities is changing over time-from being focused on providing infrastructure and ICT to improving the quality of life and ensuring sustainable city development [56]. Information and communication technologies (ICT) should be seen as key tools for institutions and managers, used to support social and urban development and to provide citizens with better life conditions and improve their quality of life [59,60]. Oliveira et al examined the impact of ICT and e-government on public decision making and highlighted that citizen participation in social decision making is a major factor in improving overall quality of life [61].…”

Smart Mobility in a Smart City in the Context of Generation Z Sustainability, Use of ICT, and Participation

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.

While countries' social and economic well-being depends on various factors, recent research emphasises the importance of transport and ICT infrastructure. To reduce the welfare differences among EU countries, the European Commission and governments have to ensure the convergence of this infrastructure as well. Previous studies have shown that convergence is taking place at the national level, however the situation at the regional level still needs to be determined. In light of this, the study examines transport and ICT infrastructure convergence in EU member states and NUTS 2 regions at different periods. The research methodology is based on the neoclassical approach of convergence, i.e., β-convergence model presented by Barro and Sala-i-Martin (1992). This approach is deemed most appropriate for determining whether the disparities in terms of infrastructure among EU members and regions are diminishing. Research findings present clear evidence of absolute β-convergence in infrastructure development across EU member states and NUTS 2 regions. Strong evidence of transport convergence is identified among EU member states and among NUTS 2 regions, however, it is observed only in one out of the three types of infrastructure. In contrast, the robust evidence of ICT infrastructure convergence is prominent across EU countries and NUTS 2 regions, showcasing substantial reductions in disparities.

This article presents the theoretical model of smart governance in local government. It discusses academical discurse of theme and problems related with the fragmentation and over elaborative concentration to technologies of topic. Article analysis the complexity of the term smart and what does smart social system means. It also covers the complexity of the concept smart governance together with its dimensions and posibilities to aquire them to research smart governance in local government. This allows better to understand the term smart governance. Afterwards, a critical view towards national smart governance model is presented and new theoretical framework for research of smart local governance together with its dimensions and attributes in academical discurse are presented. It enables the research smart local governance in Lithuania and abroad.
