Abstract
We are witnessing great technological changes in today's modern world. All these technological changes and the new IoT (Internet of Things) technology, which has a Croatian counterpart, IS (Internet of Things), make everyday life easier but also bring many vulnerabilities, risks and threats. Any vulnerable situation in a smart city can lead to serious threats to the entire city and cause massive consequences. Relying on new ICT (Information Communication Technology) systems in a smart city also brings numerous digital traces, which, if extracted legally from a person authorized by law, can significantly contribute to investigating security threats and sanctioning perpetrators of criminal acts and misdemeanours. However, for the entire ICT support system to be a source of digital evidence, the overall solutions must be legally based and harmonized with European and national norms. The compilations and the comparative methods applied in work aim to observe the best practices and international as well as domestic approaches to integrating ICT into the concept of smart cities, for example, in Zadar. The paper will apply scientific research methods to describe concrete examples of smart cities and their solutions in certain key segments for their functioning and resource optimization. The method of analysis and synthesis in the definition of smart cities, based on the sources used, i.e. texts from domestic and foreign literature, aimed to present various approaches but also new paradigms important for the further development of the concept of smart cities.
