dc.description.abstract | Abstract: A smart city is a phenomenon where municipalities engage with stakeholders to use ICT
for increasing efficiency, sustainability, and quality of life for its citizens and city operations.
However, smart city initiatives can at times challenge human rights. While particular human
rights such as privacy have been subject to analysis in the digital government field, a complete
view on human rights in smart cities has so far been missing in our discipline. It is mainly studies
from other disciplines that voice comprehensive concerns about potentially negative impacts of
smart cities on human rights. However, they often lack the technological background. This paper
reports on a pilot study as an initial exploration of the phenomenon in the digital government
field. In our research, we studied both the positive and negative effects of smart cities on human
rights by conducting qualitative interviews with citizens and municipal employees with central
roles in smart city initiatives. Our results suggest that in addition to privacy and security, the
human rights of freedom of expression, adequate standard of living, and equal access to public
services are likely to be affected by smart city initiatives. | en_US |
