Social Media Monitoring Practices by Smart Cities: Benefits and Risks
Ch. 4. P. 73–92.
This chapter highlights promising digital solutions for smart cities to improve urban feedback loops. The chapter discusses using media monitoring, artificial intelligence techniques, urban apps, and community structures to meet the challenge of identifying and evaluating problems faced by city authorities and public utilities. The chapter utilizes expert interviews and case studies to demonstrate the systems approach, including the development of urban apps, bots, communities, and media monitoring systems. It highlights the pros and cons of various options and emphasizes media monitoring as a potential alternative. The major objectives include detecting and assessing urban issues using objective data, improving response times, reducing crime, evaluating problem-solving dynamics, reviewing city PR, and assessing municipality performance. The chapter discusses two methods for media monitoring: one based on user reactions (likes, reposts, comments) and another based on message count. 74The next section covers media monitoring system implementation, including language model creation, AI-based sentiment analysis, and spam prevention measures. This highlights the importance of AI technologies like computer vision and text recognition in media analysis. The chapter covers data analytic approaches for media monitoring, such as seasonal smoothing, alert systems, and strategy comparisons. Additionally, it addresses the difficulties and constraints of conveying a message’s tone.

Modern urban processes are closely connected with the implementation and use of digital technologies. As a result, the phenomenon of “smart cities” first gained popularity in the scientific literature, and later in the political and legal agenda. There is no unified approach to the definition of a smart city. To our view, it can be ...

Today's internet is almost wholly dependent on data originated by limited accuracy, time, and attention humans. If computers can access to accurate information about things, they would be able to count, track, and predict everything. If everything is connected to internet, the gap between our physical world and cyberspace will be reduced. Research activities are ...

Technological advancements and big data have brought many improvements to smart city infrastructure. During the COVID‐19 outbreak, smart city technologies were considered one of the most effective means of fighting the pandemic. The use of technology, however, implies collecting, processing personal data, and making the collected data publicly available, which may violate privacy. While some ...

This paper reviews the emergence and development of the “smart energy city” as an academic, normative, and applied concept. An examination of the academic literature since the early 2000s reveals the unfolding of spatiotemporal trends relating to this concept. It has been emerging to represent a sector-specified version of its sister concept of smart cities, ...

Cities possess massive resources, talent and creativity and serve as hubs for knowledge sharing, experimentation and innovation, generating new ideas, embedding these solutions locally and scaling-up successful practices. Cities, however, are not abstract sustainability-making machines; they are places where real people live, work, study and flourish. Cities are made of people, by people and for people. Sustainable ...
