“…Suburbanisation in the metropolitan region stimulates very rapid changes [20], which may cause problems in all three main pillars of sustainability, i.e., economic, environmental and social [21]. The problematic part is that while maintaining economic development, it is very difficult to reduce additional land consumption [22].…”

“…In many cases, massive economic developments and shortcomings in institutional frameworks have resulted in the inefficient use of land in suburbs [73]. The suburbanisation process started largely after the socio-political changes around 1990 [5,[17][18][19], while the growth of the peripheries of larger cities increased as a result of societal changes that allowed for the free movement of people and companies and the resetting of regulatory frameworks [21]. This mechanical movement of the population is also referred to as "back-to-the-village", and is stimulated by the deindustrialisation, deurbanisation and ruralisation of urban economies [17,18].…”

“…Eleven questions (Table 2) were selected for this interview from studies that discussed the environmental impact of the suburbanisation process [21,[31][32][33][34]39,62], which were further divided into two categories. The first category included four questions concerning the territorial development of the municipality.…”

Impact of Suburbanisation on Sustainable Development of Settlements in Suburban Spaces: Smart and New Solutions

The aim of this article is to evaluate the impact of suburbanisation on the development of settlements with an emphasis on environmental aspects that need to be addressed in the process of extensive growth of municipalities in suburban regions. In the theoretical part, the article evaluates the processes of suburbanisation and their environmental impact. On a methodological level, municipalities in the suburban zone were first defined on the basis of driving distances. These municipalities were subjected to an analysis of the intensity of residential suburbanisation by calculating a multicriteria indicator from five selected criteria. In the second part of the analysis, a questionnaire survey of mayors was carried out in the particular municipalities. The responses were evaluated using the Likert scale method, and then statistically significant dependencies were sought among individual phenomena and environmental problems which need to be solved by the municipal management due to the growth of municipalities. It was found that the mayors consider changes in the landscape character to be among the most significant impacts of suburbanisation in the territory. A change in the rural character of municipalities because of the construction of urban-type houses is perceived as being very problematic. Another serious problem is the insufficient capacity of technical infrastructure such as sewerage and waste-water treatment. The costs of ensuring the quality of the environment and of public spaces, which are, in many cases, beyond the economic possibilities of municipalities, are also increasing significantly. The article also includes specifications of selected smart solutions and procedures that can help preserve the quality of the environment.

“…Intensive development, which is undoubtedly a challenge for modern cities, can give rise to positive outcomes for urban communities as well as negatively affect the smooth functioning of the city. The challenges of modern cities are centred around: • uncontrolled urban sprawl (Kovács et al, 2019;Halmy, 2019;Yu et al, 2019;Mahmoud & Divigalpitiya, 2019);…”

A B S T R A C T Nowadays, the transformations of metropolises into smart cities is a crucial factor in improving the living conditions of the inhabitants. The goal of the smart city concept is modern urban management using technical tools that offer state-of-the-art technologies, considering the applicable ecological standards while saving resources and achieving the expected results. The purpose of this article is to identify the areas of research analysed in the international literature in the field of smart cities. The bibliometric analysis was carried out to achieve the purpose. The analysis covered publications on smart cities published in Scopus and Web of Science databases from January 2009 to May 2019. Based on the bibliometric analysis, a bibliometric map was developed using the mapping technique VOS -the visualisation of similarities. Original clusters were created using the VOSviewer software. The bibliometric map visualises the results of the analysis that targeted the word coexistence. K E Y W O R D S smart city, smart city subareas, bibliometric map

“…This influences urban expansion and development while structures should be seen from both physical and socioeconomic perspectives (Azhdari et al, 2018). Furthermore, economic growths lead to spatial integration in the Mamminasata Metropolitan suburbs which resulted in urban sprawl, characterized by several negative impacts on social, economic and environmental sustainability in the metropolitan area and the complexity of spatial use (Kovacs et al, 2019). The financial resources from the structural funds do not contribute to the occurrence of eliminating regional disparities, rather it strengthens their position towards the periphery (Matlovic et al, 2018).…”

The rapid development observed in metropolitan cities affects the spatial interaction between regions and urban cluster settlements, leading to the fiscal growth of suburbs. This study is therefore, aimed to examine and analyze the spatial integration, urban agglomeration, economic growth and formation of the social territorial structures in the Mamminasata Metropolitan suburb using a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. Meanwhile, data were obtained through observation, surveys and documentation studies. Furthermore, the results showed that an elevation in the pattern of urban activities elicited changes parameters assessed which lead to economic growth in the suburbs of Mamminasata Metropolitan. This finding further indicated that spatial integration an urban agglomeration and the increase of activity, led to land tenure inequality and differences in adaptation between migrants and the local community. However, changes in spatial use influenced the structure and pattern of space, therefore, causing the formation of social territorial structures in the area.
