“…Practically, in order to achieve this goal, the consumption of urban resources in a city should match-or not exceed-the quantity provided by the natural environment (e.g., soil, water or energy resources). The most fervent debate on the concept of sustainable city is focused on how to achieve the right synthesis between the need to meet the demands of society-increasingly digitalized-and the pursuit of environmental protection in urban areas [19].…”

A Partially Non-Compensatory Method to Measure the Smart and Sustainable Level of Italian Municipalities

A smart sustainable city (SSC) is a paradigm that encapsulates the latest lines of development in multiple fields of research. The attempt to converge towards a model of sustainable urban life, made difficult by increasing anthropic pressure and polluting activities conducted by man, is also reflected in the intentions of public institutions to take measures of environmental risk mitigation. The change towards more liveable cities must also include the adoption of more far-reaching measures in various sectors. The objective of our work was to provide an analysis in order to assess which of the Italian provincial municipalities were most closely related to the paradigm of SSCs. This aim was pursued through a comparison based on the results of a partially non-compensatory quantitative method, known as the Pena’s Distance method (DP2). The smartest and most sustainable cities, such as Siena, Milan and Padua, were not identified on the basis of common urban characteristics but rather derived from the combination of distinctive and functional elements in the pursuit of a strategic approach aimed at fully exploiting the resources of each area. Moreover, at a macro-geographical level, from the analysis emerged the presence of contiguous clusters, i.e., areas in which a major concentration of smart sustainable municipalities tended to form.

“…Many authors [6,19,[65][66][67][68] suggest that it is essential to implement a valid monitoring system in order to be able to identify in advance the flaws in the complex urban system. Risk mitigation depends on the internal capacity of the system to identify the risk promptly and implement proactive measures.…”

“…rough intelligent technical means, the data in the areas of public management and public services of districts, streets, towns, and communities are integrated and opened up, forming a grassroots information pattern of regional interaction, information interconnection, and data sharing, bridging the barriers within the government and between lines, and between the government and enterprises and social organizations and residents with information technology, reconstructing an efficient and convenient workflow [23]. e information sharing among different industries and government departments will enhance the service capability and collaborative governance capability of government departments.…”

In this paper, we study the structural optimization of community governance in smart cities and optimize the structure based on the game analysis of dynamic planning evolution. Theoretically, the connotation and extension of the concept of “self-organization” are cleared, and the environment and conditions of community self-organization formation, the formation process of community self-organization, and the types of community self-organization are discussed. The so-called “self-organization” is a process of spontaneously moving from disorder to order, and the environment and conditions of community self-organization are mainly the openness, nonequilibrium state, and nonlinearity of the system. The key parameters of the contract with the change of the values of each factor make up for the inability to collect data for the empirical study in this paper; then, it presents four linear stages along with the cause such as self-creation, self-expansion, self-maintenance, and self-degeneration, respectively. The types of community self-organization mainly include community self-organization with random aggregation, socialized community self-organization, and stable community self-organization with autonomy orientation. By systematically sorting out the relationship between community self-organization and government, while confirming the positive significance of community self-organization to community cultural governance, various complex conflicts and game relationships will deeply affect the actual effectiveness of cultural governance and provide useful knowledge reference for future community cultural governance.

“…In recent years, many business models have been radically changed and, in some cases, have even been sparked by the IoT. Illustrative examples include Smart Cities [ 8 ], Smart Agriculture [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ], Industry 4.0, and Industrial IoT (IIoT) [ 13 , 14 ]. Nowadays, thanks to the IoT, the real world is potentially a smart and hyperconnected world.…”

One of the sectors that is expected to significantly benefit from 5G network deployment is eXtended Reality (XR). Besides the very high bandwidth, reliability, and Quality of Service (QoS) to be delivered to end users, XR also requires accurate environmental perception for safety reasons: this is fundamental when a user, wearing XR equipment, is immersed in a “virtual” world, but moves in a “real” environment. To overcome this limitation (especially when using low-cost XR equipments, such as cardboards worn by the end user), it is possible to exploit the potentialities offered by Internet of Things (IoT) nodes with sensing/actuating capabilities. In this paper, we rely on ultrasonic sensor-based IoT systems to perceive the surrounding environment and to provide “side information” to XR systems, then performing a preliminary experimental characterization campaign with different ultrasonic IoT system configurations worn by the end user. The combination of the information flows associated with XR and IoT components is enabled by 5G technology. An illustrative experimental scenario, relative to a “Tourism 4.0” IoT-aided VR application deployed by Vodafone in Milan, Italy, is presented.
