“…The term 'smart cities' generally refers to the use of technology-based solutions to enhance the quality of life for citizens, improve interaction with government and promote sustainable development (Chourabi et al 2012;Yahia et al 2019;Yu and Xu 2018). A city can be described as smart where social, environmental and economic development factors are balanced and linked via devolved processes to more efficiently manage key assets, resources and urban flows for real-time processes (Komninos 2013;Yeh 2017).…”

The complex and interdependent nature of smart cities raises significant political, technical, and socioeconomic challenges for designers, integrators and organisations involved in administrating these new entities. An increasing number of studies focus on the security, privacy and risks within smart cities, highlighting the threats relating to information security and challenges for smart city infrastructure in the management and processing of personal data. This study analyses many of these challenges, offers a valuable synthesis of the relevant key literature, and develops a smart city interaction framework. The study is organised around a number of key themes within smart cities research: privacy and security of mobile devices and services; smart city infrastructure, power systems, healthcare, frameworks, algorithms and protocols to improve security and privacy, operational threats for smart cities, use and adoption of smart services by citizens, use of blockchain and use of social media. This comprehensive review provides a useful perspective on many of the key issues and offers key direction for future studies. The findings of this study can provide an informative research framework and reference point for academics and practitioners.

“…Networking is a widespread phenomenon both in the public and in the private sector, to the extent that scholars refer to a network society (Castells, 2011) and a society of networks (Raab & Kenis, 2009). Collaborative networks and cross-sector collaborations (DiVito et al, 2020) are formed to solve complex social and environmental problems (Bodin et al, 2017;Yahia et al, 2019), to raise the competitiveness of private companies, and to foster innovation (Dagnino et al, 2015). These are sets of interconnected and interdependent actors that pool their resources to achieve individual and collective goals (Kickert et al, 1997).…”

Collaborative networks attract the attention of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers as an alternative to solve complex problems. However, there are gaps regarding the day-to-day activities network leaders perform to foster collaborative environments. We propose a research framework for the micro-governance of collaborative networks by analyzing how contextual factors influence the use of governance functions and practices. Our study contributes to the nascent theory of network governance by proposing relationships among contextual factors, functions, and practices. We also offer insights for practitioners and policymakers who want to improve the effectiveness of collaborative networks composed of public and private members.

“…Seniors’ adoption of technology is a relatively understudied domain with few studies focusing on seniors’ use of technology in general and wearable devices in particular ( Fox & Connolly, 2018 ). Using mixed-methods allowed us to address this lack of research by triangulating our findings from the quantitative survey while helping us to understand the context and processes associated with using wearable technology ( Ben Yahia, Eljaoued, Bellamine Ben Saoud, & Colomo-Palacios, 2019 ; Creswell & Clark, 2007 ). By conducting this study, we not only provide practical suggestions to enhance the development of wearable devices, but also, we contribute to technology adoption literature by integrating complexity literature and psychological research to investigate seniors’ adoption of wearable devices.…”

Highlights Using a mixed-methods approach, we analyzed the adoption of wearable devices among older adults. Perceived complexity of devices (specifically interpreting the outputs) is the most salient deterrent of adoption. The effect of cognitive age on adoption is moderated by subjective well-being (SWB). Cognitive age negatively (vs. positively) impacts the older adults’ adoption intention when their SWB is high (vs. low).
