TECHNOLOGIES FOR SECURITY IN SMART CITIES

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to focus on the concepts of smart cities by using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to support different aspects of sustainability processes. It aims to underline the importance of the Security systems in Smart Cities, but also to create world-influencing urban, governmental methodologies, and sustainable economic growth in global business.
Although the research is a limited study, it emphasizes in-depth research vs cross-sectional data collection, to analyze the relationship between ICT implementation initiatives and smart concepts. The main limitation of the study was the lack of adequate data to enrich the analysis. Smart technology is new and has not been fully researched. Furthermore, most of the information is qualitative but encourages future research and further investigation of the subject. The main implication of this case is the possibility of generating some discussion about safety: Is security control strategy important for safety in smart cities?
