Introduction: Security is one of the fundamental needs of humans, and due to population growth and increasing complexity, today's cities face more challenges in achieving security. The overall aim of this study was to explore the relationship between smart city drivers and sustainable urban security in the city of Semnan.
Methodology: This research employed a descriptive correlational method to investigate the relationships between smart city dimensions and urban security in 2024 in Semnan. Data were collected through a questionnaire from 384 participants. For analysis, Pearson correlation, multiple regression, and one-sample T-test were used. The results revealed that the dimensions of citizens, smart environment, and smart mobility had the most positive impact on urban security, while the dimensions of smart governance and smart dynamics need strengthening.
Findings: Various dimensions of the smart city had different impacts on urban security in Semnan. "Citizens", "smart environment", and "smart mobility" had the most positive impact on urban security and should be strengthened in policy-making. On the other hand, "smart governance" and "smart dynamics" needed revision and improvement. 58% of the variance in urban security was explained by the dimensions of the smart city, indicating a strong relationship between these dimensions and urban security. Additionally, the urban security status in Semnan was found to be below expectations, and this difference is statistically significant.
Conclusion: Various dimensions of a smart city, especially "citizens", "smart environment", and "smart mobility", have a significant impact on urban security, while the dimensions of "smart governance" and "smart dynamics" require strengthening and improvement to enhance urban security.
