| Abstract |
As a concept, Smart City represents a comprehensive system of services implemented throughout modern technologies whose purpose and goal are to improve the quality of life for the citizens. The Smart City concept and strategies are focused to improve the current services in cities, make the existing infrastructure more suitable, make the citizens participating, and ultimately, to enable sustainable development of the urban environment in the future. A key element of the concept involves day-to-day mobility, a necessary precondition for the prosperity of the urban environment. The global urbanization trends and the increased number of residents living in urban areas generate additional mobility. Therefore, managing transport demand to enable increased mobility, especially by using private cars, becomes a more complex and challenging task for traffic experts. The paper analyses the possibilities to apply the Smart City concept in the Republic of Croatia. The results indicate a very high acceptance to implement the Smart City concept, and the respondents perceive Smart Mobility as an integrated part of the Smart City. Three key segments of Smart Mobility are highlighted in the paper: intelligent use of information and communication technology, smart public transport, and smart parking technologies. Most of the surveyed cities are participating in projects related to Smart Cities, and they are willing to allocate certain funds to implement the concept. |
