A Framework for Evaluating the Sustainability of IoT Smart City Projects
Kratka vsebina
Although Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are essential for developing sustainable smart cities, systematically evaluating their multidimensional sustainability benefits is a significant challenge. synthesizes existing approaches and proposes a comprehensive, integrated evaluation framework. The proposed framework combines life cycle assessment (LCA) for environmental impacts, cost-benefit analysis (CBA) for economic justification, and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to integrate stakeholder perspectives and social dimensions. Ultimately, this hybrid approach provides city planners with a rigorous, transparent, and practical tool to ensure that IoT deployments deliver absolute sustainability gains rather than merely relative efficiencies.
