Abstract
Due to the significant increase in the human population and its urbanisation, large urban agglomerations are increasingly coming under considerable pressure. In order to optimize this urbanization, most urban agglomerations are starting to use the Smart City concept. This concept is based on the integration of smart digital technologies into various aspects of cities and regions to improve the quality of life of citizens and reduce energy consumption. These aspects mainly concern energy, transport, communications and waste management. However, the functioning of the entire Smart City concept depends on the basic services of selected technical infrastructure, especially energy and ICT. As a result of the possible impact of various security threats that may result in incidents on the infrastructure in question, disruption of basic services can be expected, thus affecting the functionality of the entire Smart City concept. Based on these facts, it is essential that these infrastructure elements achieve the required level of resilience to withstand the occurrence of various incidents. For this reason, the paper presents two potential approaches to determine the factors that define Smart City resilience.
