“…Cities can get advantage of active participation of citizens through phone calls or recently mobile applications, called dashboards, to receive report of damages or roadway closures. However, not all cities have mobile applications in operation or they face a low adoption rate among their citizens [31], [32]. Moreover, cellular networks and internet access aftermath a natural disaster may fail.…”

During extreme weather events like hurricanes, trees can cause significant challenges for the local communities with roadway closures or power outages. Local responders must act quickly with information regarding the extent and severity of hurricane damage to better manage recovery procedures following natural disasters. This paper proposes an approach to automatically identify fallen trees on roadways using highresolution satellite imagery before and after a hurricane. The approach detects fallen trees on roadways via a co-voting strategy of three different algorithms and tailored dissimilarity scores. The proposed method does not rely on the large manually labeled satellite image data, making it more practical than existing approaches. Our solution has been implemented and validated on an actual roadway closure dataset from Hurricane Michael in Tallahassee, Florida, in October 2018.

Smart Mobility in a Smart City in the Context of Generation Z Sustainability, Use of ICT, and Participation

Smart sustainable cities represent a great challenge for the modern world. Generation Z (Gen Z), whose representatives are now entering adult life, will play a key role in the implementation of this concept. The purpose of this study is to investigate the nature of the relationship between the evaluation of smart mobility’s importance for a smart city and the attitudes and behaviours of Generation Z members in the context of sustainability, use of ICT, and their declarative and actual participation in smart-city activities. The diagnostic survey method was used to achieve the research objective. The authors designed the questionnaire based on a literature analysis. The research sample consisted of 484 representatives of Generation Z—students of universities located in a smart city, Lublin (Poland). The collected data was statistically analysed using the following methods and statistical tests: Cronbach’s alpha, Pearson’s chi-square test for independence, symmetric measures: Cramer’s V, and the contingency coefficient. The analysis of the obtained research results confirms that the conscious approach of Generation Z to sustainability has a significant and positive impact on their evaluation of actions taken in the field of smart mobility for a smart city. A similar relationship was confirmed with regard to the relationship between ICT use and smart-mobility evaluation. The significant and positive impact of young people’s participation in smart cities on their evaluation of smart-mobility solutions’ importance was not fully and unequivocally confirmed. In conclusion, the Generation Z representatives’ awareness of the importance of sustainability and caring for the natural environment was confirmed by their desire to be pro-ecological in the areas of smart mobility studied in the paper. Moreover, young people who constantly use the latest technologies see their huge potential for the development of smart mobility in cities. However, despite the growing expectations of citizens’ active attitudes and their increasing participation in smart-mobility development, it seems that the representatives of Generation Z are not really interested in it. Their declarations of willingness to join various opinion-forming and decision making processes do not actually transform them into active co-creators of smart-mobility solutions. Changing this approach can be an educational, organisational and technological challenge for smart-city authorities. The obtained research results could be used as guidelines for facilitating the search for innovative solutions in the area of smart mobility, improving the quality of life of smart-city residents based on the principle of sustainable development.

“…The price-benefit construct has been defined in such models as the perceived trade-off between the monetary cost of the technology and the expected or experienced benefits of the technology (Venkatesh et al, 2003). However, since smartphone users can usually download and use mgovernment or city service apps at no financial cost, it appears to make more sense to focus on less tangible aspects of the cost-benefit analysis for potential users, like storage space, and privacy costs (Hou et al, 2020).…”

Mobile government enhances public sector activities by using mobile technologies, such as handheld devices, smartphones, and laptops that promise anytime, anywhere services. Mobile government solutions are successful if many users adopt them. For this reason, the determinant factors of adoption are extremely important. Despite many studies conducted by various researchers in the field of mobile government adoption, most have focused on technology or e-government adoption models as their basis. To fill this gap, the paper collects possible driving factors, grouped into key factors, for mobile government adoption. The systematic literature review, which included 54 journal articles, led to the identification of 12 key factors affecting mobile government adoption, comprising 87 components. Some of these replicate previously identified factors in technology and e-government adoption models, yet the literature presented us with new specifics in mobile and government, such as the benefits that mobility brings and the influence of trust on adoption.
