“…As an important characteristic of regional urbanization, urban sprawl is a comprehensive reflection of factor flows between cities and of the evolution of urban systems (Belanche, Casaló, & Orús, 2016;Deal & Schunk, 2004;Gennaio, Hersperger, & Bürgi, 2009). As the ultimate embodiment of urban sprawl, urban land use structure evolution is closely related to urban socio-economic development and the ecological environment; the intersection of these factors can be defined as urban built-up land sprawl (UBLS) (Angel, Parent, Civco, Blei, & Potere, 2011;Lichtenberg & Ding, 2009;Puertas, Henríquez, & Meza, 2014).…”

“…Nowadays, European cities face the challenge of combining competitiveness and sustainable urban development simultaneously (Giffinger et al, 2007). As stated by Belanche, Casaló and Orús (2016), cities currently face the challenge of attracting resources and increasing their citizens' quality of life. In fact, the 21st century faced a global trend of increasing concentration of the population in relatively few large cities (Harrison & Donelly, 2011).…”

RESUMOO objetivo do presente estudo é analisar a extensão com que as organizações sociais são capazes de tornar as cidades mais inteligentes. Para alcançar esse propósito é adotada uma metodologia qualitativa, com base no método do estudo de caso, de modo a compreender as diferentes características e estratégias da Associação Cais (uma organização sem fins lucrativos que visa ajudar públicos desfavorecidos em áreas urbanas).Partindo da análise das atividades desenvolvidas pela Cais, procura-se avaliar em que medida a inovação social prosseguida vai de encontra às dimensões propostas por Giffinger et al. (2007) para classificar o desempenho das cidades inteligentes, nomeadamente se baseiam em: (i) economia inteligente; (ii) pessoas inteligentes: (iii) governança inteligente: (iv) mobilidade inteligente; (v) ambiente inteligente; e (vi) vida inteligente. A investigação realizada indica que as ações prosseguidas compreendem elementos de todas as dimensões supra referidas. A análise revela ainda que a Cais é capaz de aumentar a inteligência das cidades onde atua (nomeadamente por via dos atributos vida, economia, pessoas e ambiente mais inteligentes). Palavras-chave: Associação cais, cidades inteligentes, empreendedorismo social, inovação social, oportunidade social ABSTRACTThe objective of the present study is to examine the extent to which social ventures are able to increase the "smartness" of cities. To achieve this goal, we adopt a qualitative approach using a case study method to obtain valuable insights about different characteristics and strategies of Cais (a non-profit association dedicated to helping disadvantaged people in urban areas).Through our analysis of Cais's activities, we assess whether its social interventions match the dimensions proposed by Giffinger et al. (2007) to rank smart cities' performance; specifically, it has smart: (i) economy, (ii) people, (iii) governance, (iv) mobility, (v) environment, and (vi) living. The research shows that the action pursued comprises elements from all the abovementioned dimensions. Further, the analysis reveals that Cais reinforces the smartness of the city in which it acts (in terms of attributes such as living, economy, people, and environment).

“…Upon examination of the success of Smart City concepts it can be stated that a critical urban mass of extent is required (Belanche et al, 2015), which uses the infrastructure of the city, participates in the data provision and lay down the directions of urban processes and developments. The instrumentation, the establishment of ICT-conditions are fairly expensive, the return period is generally long, so smaller cities can be hardly integrated into the row of big cities applying real smart solutions.…”

The question of urban sustainability has come to the front of research in the past decade. It is resulting from the fact that the proportion of urban population continuously increase, according to the estimations 70% of the population will be urban citizen by 2050. On the other hand cities play a significant role in sustainability, climate protection and the reduction of harmful emissions. Several innovative initiatives were performed on the area of the establishment of carbon-neutral cities of zero energy consumption and sustainable municipalities. The purpose of Smart City concepts is to maximize urban life quality and to increase energy efficiency, to reduce harmful emissions and to enhance the quality of urban services utilizing the possibilities provided by the available ICT-devices (Info Communication Technology). Nowadays the condition of the urban environment, the urban problems can be constantly measured and monitored by means of instruments and with the help of data analysis and process forecasts we can offer up-to-date solutions for them. Intelligent devices have come to the focus when researching city organizations.In Hungary it can be seen that some cities already apply smart solutions and these have ideas about future development directions, but most of the cities have the term only from hearsay. Because in the subsequent years significant sources from the European Union will be available for the development of urban services and the enhancement of energy efficiency, it is important that the management of cities informs itself and opens toward smart application as possible.Within the frame of a public survey in 2015 we have investigated the sensibility of the inhabitants of Sopron for urban problems and analysed, which urban processes are considered expressly harmful and which measures -even of smart character -would be kept important. In our article the results of the survey are presented. Keywords: smart city, urban problems, environmental issues, sustainability, liveability, Sopron Jel Codes: R000 Városi problémák lakossági érzékelése és smart városfejlesztés lehetőségei SopronbanA városi fenntarthatóság kérdése az utóbbi évtizedben a kutatások előterébe került. Köszönhető ez annak, hogy a városi népesség aránya folyamatosan nő, a becslések szerint 2050-re a népesség 70%-a városlakó lesz. Másrész a fenntarthatóság, a klímavédelem és a károsanyag-kibocsátás csökkentésében a városok meghatározó szerepet játszanak. Számos innovatív kezdeményezés történt a karbon-semleges, zéró energiafelhasználású városok kialakítása, illetve a fenntartható városüzemeltetés terén. A Smart City koncepciók célja a városi életminőség maximalizálása és az energiahatékonyság növelése, a károsanyag-kibocsátás csökkentése és mindeközben a városi szolgáltatások minőségének növelése a rendelkezésre álló IKT-eszközök nyújtotta lehetőségek kihasználásával. Napjainkban a műszerek segítségével folyamatosan mérhetjük, monitorozhatjuk a városi környezet állapotát, a városi problémákat, és az adatok elemzésével, folyamatok előreje...
