Current state of implementation of the Smart City development concept in municipalities with extended competencies in the Czech Republic on the example of the Moravian-Silesian Region and Zlín Region

Original language description

At present, the Smart City development concept is increasingly used worldwide in the field of urban development management, neither the territory of the Czech Republic does not avoid this trend. The professional literature describing this concept is rich but also characterized by its inconsistency and fragmentation into all areas of territorial development. The implementation of the Smart City development concept is mostly understood as an indi-vidual matter of individual municipalities and is strongly influenced by political will. This paper aims to identify and compare the current level of application of the Smart City devel-opment concept within the strategic management of selected cities in the Czech Republic based on a selected group of relevant indicators. Smart approaches at the level of municipal-ities with extended competencies, ie municipalities that have a specific position in the Czech system of public administration, were analyzed. The analysis included municipalities of this type, which are located in the territory of two regions, whose governments apply different approaches to supporting the Smart concepts at the regional and local levels. These are the Moravian-Silesian Region and the Zlín Region. The research was conducted on the basis of an analysis of freely available sources (strategic documents, analytical documents, memo-randums, presentation of the issue on the websites, official statements of the city manage-ment, etc.). The results of the research indicate an overall low level of implementation of the Smart City development concept within the evaluated group of municipalities and large dif-ferences in the level of implementation of the concept between individual municipalities. The example of the two regions being compared also suggests that a higher level of support for the implementation of &quot;smart&quot; concepts by the regional government may not be reflected in a higher level of implementation of these concepts in municipalities. The conclusions of the work will serve as a basis for future research purposes with a focus on evaluating the in-volvement of municipalities in innovation processes in the field of Smart technologies.
