| Abstract |
For cities to function correctly, many systems and infrastructure, such as water, electricity, education, healthcare, information systems, communication technology, etc., are needed to increase the quality of life in the community. In today's world of advanced technologies, fast and complex changes in the environment, larger and developed cities, and even a few smaller ones, aspire to well-designed systems and infrastructure to get the epithet of a smart city. The development of technology and globalization has enabled the development of this type of city. Smart cities began to develop as society realized the importance of new technological, organizational, and logistical solutions aimed at improving the quality of life in them. Smart cities are fundamental to the development of society and the economy in the coming period, as all activities related to digital technology will work incomparably faster thanks to the development of the new mobile network of the S' h generation. The introduction of the new SG network is considered to be one of the essential prerequisites for creating a smart city and an opportunity for infrastructure development and construction of the first 5G network in the Republic of Croatia, founded by the European Action Plan "5G for Europe", was given to Osijek. Considering the fact that Osijek will become the first 5G city in the Republic of Croatia, this paper demonstrates the research performed among the members of the "Z generation" of Osijek with the main goal of examining their views and familiarity with the new 5G network. |
