An analysis of survey data is a fundamental part of research concerning various aspects of human behavior. Such survey data are often discrete, and the size of the collected sample is regularly insufficient for the most potent modelling tools such as logistic regression, clustering, and other data mining techniques. In this paper, we take a closer look at the results of the stated preference survey analyzing how inhabitants of cities in Thailand, Poland, and Czechia understand and perceive "smartness" of a city. An international survey was conducted, where respondents were asked 15 questions. Since the most common data modelling tools failed to provide a useful insight into the relationship between variables, so-called lambda coefficient was used and its usefulness for such challenging data was verified. It uses the principle of conditional probability and proves to be truly useful even in data sets with relatively small sample size.

One of the today's challenges for cities with smart projects is to demonstrate benefits of deployed solutions for city effectiveness and for the Quality of Living (QoL) of their citizens. Research objective of the paper is to explore citizen individual perception to gain knowledge about smart solutions impacts on quality of living perception. Research was conducted within project Smart Region - Smart City - Smart Community. Authors in first part of this paper provide analysis of citizens' idea of Smart City strategies and solutions. In the second part, relationship between perceived level of smartness and the level of QoL in Czech cities is examined and analysed. The third part of this paper presents citizens' ranking of the top Czech smart cities and Czech regions. Citizen-centric approach and QoL in the SC is authors' constant focus on how to complement the issue with the human element, how to promote communication towards citizens and support the tools of citizen involvement and thus support democracy.

One of the main goals of the Smart City concept is to ensure a high quality of living (QoL). It is known as a strongly subjective indicator of individuals and depends on many factors which differ among environments. However, todays measurement of QoL takes the form of a comparison of sets of indicators based on hard data or does not occur in cities at all. That may cause that the city ranked as „the smartest“ will not really know anything about the satisfaction of its citizens. But thanks to the modern technology offered by the Smart City concept, we should be able to eliminate this insufficiency and include individual perception into the smart city's management as an integral part of it. In this article, a team of authors are exploring existing citizen surveys focused on individual perceptions of Smart City strategies and quality of living. The second part of the article presents a summary of current rankings of Smart Cities and levels of QoL. The outcome of the second part is a definition of the TOP Smart Cities in the World, based on calculations of the presented ranking.
