Abstract The term Quality of Life is essential in understanding the outcome of smart city initiatives. According to several definitions, it is one of the major objectives of activities in the area of Smart Cities. Different studies presented in this paper aim at classifying a city with respect to "smartness". The results of all such studies however look at a general index. As discussed in this paper, quality of life is highly individual. It is not true that one measure has the same impact on the quality of life of different individuals. To understand perception of all individuals within a city is difficult but necessary, if we want to model the impact of different measures on different groups of citizens. In this paper, the authors propose a way to gain understanding on the issue of individual perception of Smart Cities. This supports the researchers not only in modeling efforts, for example using multi-agent systems, but also in selection of projects. First, so-called life stages (life cycles) are defined to address the individuality in perception. Next, an IPSCS survey is designed and mathematical tools for survey evaluation are proposed to allow for learning more about such perception. In this paper, a survey was conducted to proof the proposed concept and methods.
