A New Era for Smart Cities and Services Development with IOT Technologies in Uzbekistan
Аннотация
With the gradual shift in population patterns from rural to urban areas, cities in developing countries are increasingly struggling to provide effective services to residents. To meet the needs of an ever-growing population and address environmental challenges, governments around the world are investing in the Internet of Things (IoT) and other advanced information technologies to create their own "smart city" models. This study aims to explore the key challenges Uzbekistan faces in implementing IoT solutions into its smart city model. A snowball sampling method was used to collect data. Forty-eight respondents participated in the study. Data processing utilized graphical presentation and descriptive statistics to accurately convey detailed information. Data were described using measures of central tendency (specifically, mean and mode), standard deviation, frequencies, and percentages.
