Smart City Solutions and the Potential of Using Web APIs: End-User and Technical Perspectives
Ante Strize (PricewaterhouseCoopers, Croatia), Mario Jadrić (University of Split, Croatia), and Maja Ćukušić (University of Split, Croatia)
Copyright: © 2020 |Pages: 17
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-1196-1.ch003
Abstract
This chapter presents the advantages of using APIs in the context of Smart City solutions and describes relevant successful practices. As there is still some uncertainty and the fear of compromising the security of data in these types of scenarios, most cities have just started using web APIs indicating that there are still opportunities for further enhancements. Different views on Smart City solutions result in different priorities and assumptions, so depending on the role, it is possible to differentiate between the programmer's (technical) and customer/citizen's perspective. The research was conducted with two groups of respondents: with end-users and programmers. The purpose of the survey was to find out the preferences and characteristics that potential users are looking for from Smart City solutions, while the aim of conducted interviews with programmers was to explore their attitudes about using web APIs in Smart City solutions.

The DIM Approach for Digital Twin
It is a place where traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital and telecommunication technologies for the benefit of its inhabitants and business. A smart city goes beyond the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for better resource use and less emissions. It means smarter urban transport networks, upgraded water supply and waste disposal facilities and more efficient ways to light and heat buildings. It also means a more interactive and responsive city administration, safer public spaces and meeting the needs of an ageing population.

Which Sociology of Urban Tourism in the Day After Viral Society?: For an Intercultural, Intermediary, and Inter-Methodological Hybrid and Open Research
City paradigm that favors planning, monitoring and digital technologies to achieve greater predictability in urban restructuring, among other aspects of greater mobility, innovative tourism and security in public space. However, this ubiquitous view of the city and the citizen carries risks, from the intrusion into his private life, through disrespect for human rights, to the naturalization and uncritical acceptance of a generalized panoptism. It differs from city 3.0 as this urban mode is more profoundly connected with Web 3.0 and Tourism 3.0 .
