Examining the Adoption of Smart City Platforms In the Presence of Privacy Concerns

Abstract: Smart cities have been gaining prominence worldwide as a data-driven medium for urban renewal and overhaul. Rapid technological innovations, social wants, strive for effective governance and the exploding urban population in traditional cities are the primary driving forces contributing to this buzz. Though smart cities had been conceptualized to expand sustained urban yield, the accumulation and processing of large amounts of data streams are raising security and privacy concerns at both individual as well as societal levels. Significant efforts are being undertaken to safeguard inhabitants’ data from possible security and privacy breaches. However, there continues to exist a lack of formal understanding of privacy concerns and the factors affecting these concerns from the perspective of a citizen. Additionally, the possibility that these privacy concerns of citizens might also impact their adoption behavior (i.e., intention to inhabit in a smart city) has not been studied yet. This paper aims to identify the significant factors that might affect privacy concerns of an individual citizen; and combines them to derive a framework examining their privacy concerns that affect their adoption behavior
