    Blockchains and the crypto city
    (it - Information Technology: Vol. 59, No. 6, 2017) Potts, Jason; Rennie, Ellie; Goldenfein, Jake
    Drawing on economic transaction cost theory, this paper explores how blockchain and distributed ledger technology could shift the smart city agenda by altering transaction costs with implications for the coordination of infrastructures and resources. Like the smart city the crypto city utilizes data informatics, but can be coordinated through distributed rather than centralized systems. The data infrastructure of the crypto city can enable civil society to run local public goods and services, and facilitate economic and social entrepreneurship.

    Practice Report “Smart Disaster Management” — Combining Smart City Data and Citizen Participation to Increase Disaster Resilience
    (i-com: Vol. 20, No. 2, 2021) Wessel, Daniel; Holtz, Julien; König, Florian
    Smart cities have a huge potential to increase the everyday efficiency of cities, but also to increase preparation and resilience in case of natural disasters. Especially for disasters which are somewhat predicable like floods, sensor data can be used to provide citizens with up-to-date, personalized and location-specific information (street or even house level resolution). This information allows citizens to better prepare to avert water damage to their property, reduce the needed government support, and — by connecting citizens locally — improve mutual support among neighbors. But how can a smart city application be designed that is both usable and able to function during disaster conditions? Which smart city information can be used? How can the likelihood of mutual, local support be increased? In this practice report, we present the human-centered development process of an app to use Smart City data to better prepare citizens for floods and improve their mutual support during disasters as a case study to answer these questions.

    Sharing Economy – Shareable City – Smartes Leben
    (HMD Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 52, No. 4, 2015) Sikorska, Olena; Grizelj, Filip
    Tag für Tag wird unsere Gesellschaft zum Zeugen diverser sozialer, wirtschaftlicher und politischer Änderungen. Diese Metamorphosen werden durch die Entstehung und Verbreitung neuer Technologien, menschlicher Bedürfnisse, aber auch durch die verstärkte Urbanisierung sowie den ständigen Marktwandel und -sättigung beeinflusst. So entstand ebenfalls im Zuge dieser Änderungs- und Anpassungsprozesse das Phänomen der Sharing Economy oder der Collaborative Consumption (dt. kollaborativer Konsum), deren Motto „Teilen statt besitzen“ ist. Diese wirtschaftliche Neuentwicklung hat sowohl eine ökonomische, aber auch eine starke ausschlaggebende soziale Bedeutung, die einen essentiellen Beitrag für die Lösung solcher Probleme wie Ressourcenknappheit, massive Energienutzung, Arbeitslosigkeit und Städteüberfüllung leisten soll.Im nachfolgenden Beitrag wird das neue Wirtschaftsmodell Sharing Economy vorgestellt. Dabei bekommt der Leser einen Überblick über die Faktoren, die die Entstehung des Phänomens ermöglicht haben. Darüber hinaus werden die Formen sowie Vorteile und Nachteile des kollaborativen Konsums aufgezeigt. Anschließend wird im Beitrag das Modell der „Shareable Cities“ am Beispiel der koreanischen Hauptstadt Seoul skizziert und als ein wichtiger Bestandteil für die Entwicklung der „Smart Cities“ dargelegt.AbstractDay by day our society is experiencing a diversity of social, economical and political changes. Thesemetamorphoses are influenced by the development and spread of new technologies, human needs and bythe growing urbanization and permanent market changes and saturation respectively. In the course of thesechanges and adjustment processes the Sharing Economy or the Collaborative Consumption came into being,which motto is “Sharing instead of ownership”. This development has both significant economical and socialvalue, as far as it gives an opportunity to solve such problems like resource scarcity, huge use of energy, high unemployment and overcrowding of the cities.The following article will present the new business model Sharing Economy. Due to this article the reader will get an overview about the main factors, which enabled the development of this phenomena. Moreover thereader will know about the advantages and disadvantages of the collaborative consumption. And last but notleast, the functionality of the Sharing Economy will be presented based on example of the Korean capitalSeoul, which is also an important best practice for building of “Smart Cities”.
