Contribution :	Internet, being inherently an information technology, provides the information and decision medium for monitoring and information support of natural resource management systems, such as those at municipal and utilities level. The improvement of information systems currently opens up opportunities for more efficient allocation and use of resources, such as transport, water, electricity. Just like in agriculture, monitoring the environment is an important application area where new opportunities for more granular and detailed monitoring and management emerge from innovation in ICTs. Implementation tests for real0life smart cites are underay in Ausralia and China, transforming the city environment with a number of important and possibly ambiguous technological components: - "smart" street lighting; - urban Wi-Fi network, covering most of the urban open space, with the ability to inform the public, and anonymized monitoring of the situation; - video surveillance systems combined with video analytics systems, face recognition based on AI technologies to ensure a safe urban environment and the suppression of offenses; - microclimate sensors for monitoring the situation, analytics and decision-making on the operation of microclimate management systems; - parking sensors and payment systems; - a big data platform that integrates multimodal data from various sensors to improve decision-making on city management. A few other areas to be shortly transformed by internet application include: - sensor networks using LPWAN family of technologies, providing cost effective way to reduce environmental footprint of agriculture and infrastructure projects by more efficient allocation of scares resources; - digital transformation of global value chains, enabled by internet connectivity can improve efficiency of use of environmental resources; - sharing economy enabled by the internet can reduce the total resource consumption. Regulations generally, need to protect the right to safe and healthy living environment, with minimal constraints to innovation to prevent unmitigated unacceptable harm to persons, society and the state. Clear and predictable management of responsibility of technology providers is also essential for innovative enterprises to mitigate the uncertainties inherent with new technologies.
