Recent studies on smart cities have emphasised thatsmart solution initiatives should take into accountcitizens’ different needs and concerns. The main aim ofthis paper is to examine the role of different types ofplace attachment – emotional bonds that residents havewith their city – in predicting the acceptance of futuresmart city technologies. In our study conducted amongresidents of multiple cities in Poland (N = 627), wefound that while active place attachment (i.e. consciousidentification with a place) predicted more favourableattitudes towards enabling technologies, traditional(natural and unintentional) place attachment waspositively associated with acceptance of surveillancetechnologies regarding everyday monitoring and anti–Covid-19 measures. We also found that therelationship between place attachment and acceptanceof future technologies is partially mediated by the useof existing smart city technologies. The implicationsfor city governments and planners are discussed.

Structural Language

Abstract Linguistic interaction models suggest that interrelationships arise between structural language components and between structural and pragmatic components when language is used in social contexts. The linguist, David Crystal (1986, 1987), has proposed that these relationships are central, not peripheral, to achieving desired clinical outcomes. For individuals with severe communication challenges, erratic or unpredictable relationships between structural and pragmatic components can result in atypical patterns of interaction between them and members of their social communities, which may create a perception of disablement. This paper presents a case study of a woman with fluent, Wernicke's aphasia that illustrates how attention to patterns of linguistic interaction may enhance AAC intervention for adults with aphasia.

Information And Communication

When modern technology permeates every corner of life, there are ignited more and more hopes among the disabled to be compensated for the loss of mobility and participation in normal life, and with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), Exoskeleton Technologies and truly hands free technologies (HMI), it's possible for the disabled to be included in the social and pedagogic spheres, especially via computers and smartphones with social media apps and digital instruments for Augmented Reality (AR) .In this paper a nouvel HMI technology is presented with relevance for the inclusion of disabled in every day life with specific focus on the future development of "smart cities" and "smart homes".
