Street Addressing System as an Essential Component in Sustainable Development and Realization of Smart City Conception

摘要

Although Street Addressing (SA) seems to be a well-known conception, there is misunderstanding of it and its contribution to the Urban Economics, Smart Cities (SC) initiatives, and Sustainable Development (SD). The role of SA in planning, building, and operation of SC remains unclear. Considering SA as a socio-technical system and underlying part of ICT services allowed formulating peculiarities of SA system towards the implementation of the SC conception [1]. This paper expands the SA for SC research and includes considering SA contribution to SD. Discovery of indirect influence of SA peculiarities to SD is the main and the most important result of this article. This discovery can be considered as an example of SA Quality Assurance for actual SA program and in some extent fills the research gap in SA methodology. The goal of this article is an analysis of how SA affects SC initiatives and SD. Uniqueness of this research is concluded in analysis of SA as a urban infrastructure component through the prism of Software Quality that enables building quality SC services. This approach can be considered as a contribution to science because it shows a possibility to synthesize the ICT and urban management/civil engineering. It also highlights a role of the government in developing and implementing the SA programs as well as issues of integration of SA with urban infrastructure identification and inventory systems. The only limitation could be the use of the available SC literature that is not sufficient to confidently draw long-term conclusions.
