BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: With rapid population growth and increasing urban complexities, there is a need for innovative and practical solutions. In this context, smart living can play a fundamental role in improving urban security. This study aims to explain and analyze the impact of smart living on the development of urban security in the city of Semnan.
METHODS: The research method is descriptive-analytical and statistical, conducted through a mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative). Quantitative data were collected using a standardized questionnaire from a sample of 384 citizens, and qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with 30 urban and security experts. For data analysis, SPSS and AMOS software were used for the quantitative section, and thematic analysis along with the SOAR technique were employed for the qualitative section.
FINDINGS: Statistical analysis using Pearson’s correlation coefficient shows a positive relationship between smart living and urban security in Semnan, with a correlation value of r=0.30 and a significance level of 0.000, indicating that this relationship is statistically very significant and reliable.
CONCLUSION: Ultimately, it can be concluded that increasing smart living indicators—including the use of modern technologies, advanced security systems, and smart urban services—leads to improved living conditions, enhanced social interactions, strengthened sense of solidarity and responsibility within the community, and ultimately, the enhancement of urban security.
