The concept of Smart City aims to provide its citizens with infrastructure systems that make cities safer and more livable. One of the methods for doing so is collecting data from the crowd itself—termed crowdsourcing—and incorporating their ideas to improve the existing facilities, as well as build new ones to cater to their arising needs. This paper aims to inspect the attributes that govern crowdsourcing, evaluating its feasibility in attaining solutions in the present scenario. A systemic review of the existing literature on crowdsourcing platforms was conducted and major findings have been summarized adequately. The areas of environment, disaster management, public safety, innovation, transportation and health have been explored in connection to the existing crowdsourcing platforms and selected examples have been mentioned. Next, the attributes that affect crowdsourcing have been discussed in detail under three broad categories: (1) human characteristics; (2) data characteristics and (3) system characteristics. In the end, some recommendations for improvement in the implementation of the crowdsourcing platforms have been proposed for their enhanced applicability and effectiveness.

As part of the global Smart Cities movement, the Switching on Darwin programme foregrounds digitally enhanced government and urbanism. While promoting its environmental and democratizing potential, software-enhanced CCTV, LED lighting and geofencing were among the first components rolled out. In practice, these technologies will impact adversely on Aboriginal people, already disproportionately targeted by criminal justice processes. By integrating multiple ‘smart’ technologies with ‘public safety’ agendas, such Smart City developments provide the potential for intensified criminalization of visible minorities.

Innovative Solution

In an IOT based smart city, the most astonishing and, the most reflective component would be a much more efficient water supply. This kind of water supply treatment plant that would be established will be a much more advanced version of the already existing kinds. This water supply would help many people across the globe to get access to clean, drinking water and sanitation. Also, in such a city there would be provided an innovative solution to the huge traffic congestion being faced these days that leads to delays in reaching to work, rash driving and results in huge chaos and accidents. Thus, it would be great to kept in mind to provide a mid-way out to deal with these traffic issues in a more reliable and efficient way. We would provide a more reliable public transportation. Public transportation these days are the most relied means of conveyance for people living in all parts of the world. Thus, we would build up a more reliable public transport structure that would be effortless. This would minimize the deals, difficulties and would maximize the ease for the travelers. The next thing would be to make energy efficient buildings that will aim at minimizing the wastage of energy of the entire community. These buildings would run on least amount of possible energy (for e.g. solar energy) resulting in minimum loss. Safety is a major concern these days. There are lot of safety issues popping up in all parts of the world. Thus, in our model, we would provide an improved public safety that links back to the infrastructure, buildings, lifts, escalators, elevators, public transportation etc. Thus, with improved public safety, all these factors would be procured. However, with all these aims being enforced in the city, there would come up a lot of challenges that would be needed to countered. The system software that would be the base of framework of this IOT based smart city, would be vulnerable to hacks, system failures i.e. trojans, malware and viruses. This would result in privacy and security concerns but obvious, and also difficulties in interoperability, but suitable specific would be procured to counter these issues as well.

Advancement in Information Communication Technology (ICT) and the Internet of Things (IoT) has to lead tothe continuous generation of a large amount of data. Smart city projects are being implemented in various parts of the world where analysis of public data helps in providing a better quality of life. Data analytics plays a vital role in many such data-driven applications. Real-time analytics for finding valuable insights at the right time using smart city data is crucial in making appropriate decisions for city administration. It is essential to use multiple data sources as input for the analysis to achieve better and more accurate data-driven solutions. It helps in finding more accurate solutions and making appropriate decisions. Public safety is one of the major concerns in any smart city project in which real-time analytics is much useful in the early detection of valuable data patterns. It is crucial to find early predictions of crime-related incidents and generating emergency alerts for making appropriate decisions to provide security to the people and safety of the city infrastructure. This paper discusses the proposed real-time big data analytics framework with data blending approach using multiple data sources for smart city applications. Analytics using multiple data sources for a specific data-driven solution helps in finding more data patterns, which in turn increases the accuracy of analytics results. The data preprocessing phase is a challenging task in data analytics when data being ingested continuously in real-time into the analytics system. The proposed system helps in the preprocessing of real-time data with data blending of multiple data sources used in the analytics. The proposed framework is beneficial when data from multiple sources are ingested in real-time as input data and is also flexible to use any additional data source of interest. The experimental work carried out with the proposed framework using multiple data sources to find the crime-related insights in real-time helps the public safety solutions in the smart city. The experimental outcome shows that there is a significant increase in the number of identified useful data patterns as the number of data sources increases. A real-time based emergency alert system to help the public safety solution is implementedusing a machine learning-based classification algorithm with the proposed framework. The experiment is carried out with different classification algorithms, and the results show that Naive Bayes classification  performs better in generating emergency alerts.

Ensuring public safety is an important issue for all developed countries of the world. In this area, various organizations conduct constant monitoring, as a result of which ratings are published, the results of which have a significant impact on choosing a place of residence, attracting tourists and investors, etc. To simplify control of public safety in cities, artificial intelligence systems are increasingly used. Along with the positive effects of such systems, the protection of human privacy is becoming a key issue. This article describes the results of Belarusian scientists on the creation of such systems and examines the features of their implementation in a “smart city” in our country. The experience of a number of countries in the implementation of artificial intelligence systems to strengthen public safety in existing "smart cities" is analyzed. The legal problems arising during the functioning of such systems are considered, especially in terms of limiting the freedom and rights of citizens. Proposals are given on the development of the regulatory framework in the Republic of Belarus in order to protect the rights of citizens.
