САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:

In this paper, the aim of the research refers to the analysis of the views of the citizens of seven cities in Republic of Serbia on the concept of smart cities. The concept of smart cities is being adopted worldwide, with the exponential growth of smart technologies. In the empirical part of the paper, research was conducted by the author of the paper in connection with the subject of the research. The research instrument used in this paper is a survey that was created online and then distributed to survey students. The sample of respondents consisted of 294 respondents, from whom it was planned to get opinions on the concept of smart cities, to what extent it positively or negatively affects everyday life. The research results indicate the level of respondents’ ignorance of the concept of smart cities. Also, there is the uneven implementation of smart solutions in rural and urban areas in Republic of Serbia. The recommendation is to enable the even development of all cities and educate the population about the concept of smart cities, in the sense that there are no significant threats to security and privacy, and that resources such as time and costs are highly, their savings, closely connected with the concept of smart cities.
