Abstract:

Title: Enhancing Resilience by Understanding Smart City and Safe City Concepts and their Common Systems

Authors: Jozef Ristvej and Maroš Lacinák
Department of Crisis Management, Faculty of Security Engineering, University of Zilina, Slovakia

Nowadays cities around the globe are becoming more intelligent and using approach of Smart Cities. Within these municipalities, Safe City concepts are implemented as well. Within this paper we are dealing with Smart City and Safe City concepts and their common systems. We propose several ideas on how to summarize all the systems of the Smart City concept. Along with the Smart City concept, we also present the concept of the Safe City. Those two concepts are interconnected and systems are presented. Within the paper, we present systems, their smart and safe layers and further summarizes features, needed in every system. However, our main focus will be still on the question of the safety and security in such cities in the future. Our study of the Smart City programs shows the lack of importance which is being given to this topic. Because of that, we are inspired to introduce our description of the Safe City systems and we define concepts and systems, as well as structure of the concepts.
