Implementation of the Smart City Technology for Environmental Protection Management of Cities: The Experience of Russia and Kazakhstan

Abstract

Approaches to the organization of management of environmental protection within the framework of introduction of Smart City technologies are reviewed in this article. For this purpose, a retrospective analysis of transformation of the Smart City notion has been carried out and basic characteristics of a modern smart city interpretation have been distinguished: the use of information technology in all functional areas of the city ecosystem, active involvement of residents in the processes of city management through organization of a system of user services, commitment to sustainable development of a city to the benefit of future generations. In the research process the key factors of the environment pollution in cities were reviewed having identified systemic challenges in the environmental field, which can be solved by introduction of the Smart City technology. For each environmental factor promising technologies of the Smart City system and effects that may be reached by means of their introduction are provided. Analysis of the existing technological solutions of the Smart City made it possible to identify the complex nature of environmental problems of cities, the solution of which requires introduction of smart technologies in all the spheres of functioning of the city. In the practical part of the article smart city’s technology development and implementation experience is presented, aimed at environmental protection in the cities of Russia and Kazakhstan. The empirical basis of the analysis is constituted by the results of the studies carried out within the framework of the research work “Enhancement of the State Regulation Policy of Accelerated Clustering of the Industrial Regions” implemented on the grounds of the grant funding of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Smart Sustainable Cities: Smart Approaches and Analysis

“…Globally, only 100 cities worldwide are already implementing these KPIs (Moscow, Valencia, etc.). Implementation of the smart city technologies in environmental protection proves its efficiency in the case studies in Russia and Kazakhstan [21].…”

Management of urbanization processes in the context of regional development of Kazakhstan

“…The authors believe that with the use of the necessary procedures and tactics, the urban economy can develop at a faster pace. As a result, the economy will eventually expand at a faster pace (Turgel et al, 2019). Вестник Карагандинского университета Notecompiled by the author based on (Kornilova et al, 2022) If the city authorities worked better, the people who live there would have a better quality of life.…”

Data mining algorithm in the identification of accounting fraud by smart city information technology

“…A smart city is based on a digital city, which integrates a new generation of information and communication technologies in urban construction. Smart cities use new technologies to interact, integrate and perceive, transmit, process and analyze urban resource information in an orderly manner through intelligence and interconnection, so as to achieve a harmonious life between cities and people [ 17 ]. At the same time, it makes a timely and effective perception of the various production activities of the society and residents, so as to achieve the purpose of enhancing the ability of urban planning and construction, improving the efficiency of urban management and improving people's life satisfaction.…”
