“…Li postulated that perceived quality constitutes residents' overall perception of smart communities and their subjective feelings about the experience of providing smart services [2] . It encapsulates the actual feelings residents derive from managing communities and providing services, forming the direct basis for residents' expectations of smart communities and their pre-service requirements [10] .…”

This research paper explores the concept of "smart communities" and investigates residents' willingness to participate in smart community governance in the context of Changsha City, a pioneer in smart community development in the central region of China. The study draws on a literature review, theoretical analysis, and field research to identify and extract variables related to residents' participation willingness, constructing a conceptual model for analysis. The research findings reveal that guiding smart community construction based on residents' needs and interests is vital, with education level, residence duration, perceived personal benefits, and protection of residents' rights as key determinants of participation willingness. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding smart community governance and the need to align community construction with cultural life needs to cultivate public spirit and awareness. While certain limitations are acknowledged, this paper presents insights into residents' participation in smart community governance, offering suggestions and countermeasures to enhance residents' willingness to participate. Future research is proposed to delve deeper into influencing factors and refine the questionnaire design for a more comprehensive analysis.

“…In Okada's keynote (Okada 2004) he presented the concept of an implementation knowledge gap as a "valley between knowledge producers and end-users." Okada has continued to speak and write about implementation in many settings with many colleagues (samples: Matsuda and Okada 2006, Gopalakrishnan and Okada 2007, Okada, Fang, and Kilgour 2013, Okada 2018). And he is not alone.…”

“…The cycle can be entered at any point but it is critical for adaptation that it be repeated. Okada (2018) has called such adaptive processes "dynamic spiral processes of Plan-Do-Check-Action (PDCA) cycles." In a unit of the PDCA cyclic process, there are two "Implementation-intended Do's", one is "to do" based on "to plan," and another is "action " back to "plan" based on "to "check."…”

Outcomes of a project or a policy often differ from expectations. We call such discrepancies “implementation gaps”. Reasons for these gaps and for their persistence are worth serious study; such study should be a good entry point for developing an implementation science. We wrote a concept paper for a special session at IDRiM 2022; five discussants led a discussion of the paper and of challenges in developing an implementation science. The present paper represents our updated perspective after further reflection and the special session discussions. According to our perspective, the fundamental challenge in describing implementation gaps and then moving toward an adaptable and expansive implementation science is to account for the number and diversity of actors in implementation activities. Different actors have different roles, different capabilities, and powers; their knowledge about the situation is different, and their concerns and perspectives are also different. We begin by considering innovative approaches to describing and characterizing implementation gaps. We construct a model implementation story “a furniture nailing story,” based on real experience in Japan following lessons learned from the Great Hanshin-Awaji earthquake of 1995. We also offer a model implementation failure story “a snowstorm story.” In providing detail, attention to the diversity of actors is key; further analysis begins with a deeper characterization of actors and their relationships, influences, and interactions with each other. We proceed to discuss steps toward an implementation science. We consider three aspects of science: 1) description: characterizing gaps, classifying them, and making classifications useful; 2) designing and testing: finding models for implementation processes and seeing how they work; 3) prediction: anticipating and preparing for challenges and opportunities in implementation. Finally, we consider possibilities for learning from experiences in other fields and recommend modest attempts to develop new dialogues with “prospective neighboring disciplinary communities.”

“…The concept of risk governance includes both the institutional structure and the policy process that guide and restrain the collective activities of a group, society, or international community to regulate, reduce, or control risk problems (Renn and Klinke 2014;Klinke and Renn 2018). Contemporary handling of collectively relevant risk problems has been shifted away from traditional state-centric approaches with hierarchically organized governmental agencies to separately constituted public bodies with overlapping jurisdictions and vertical governance structures that link the community level to regional, national, and international levels, which do not match the traditional hierarchical order but constitute polyarchical structures (Hooghe and Marks 2003;Skelcher 2005;Okada 2018). This implicates an increasingly multilayered and diversified sociopolitical landscape in which a multitude of actors, each individual with their own perceptions and evaluations, draw on a diversity of knowledge and evidence claims, value commitments, and political interests in order to influence processes of risk analysis, decision making, and risk management (Jasanoff 2004).…”

“…(1) Risk problems that affect different urban constituencies at the same time can be managed in accordance with each unique set of spatial conditions specificity; (2) An inherent degree of overlap and redundancy makes nonhierarchical adaptive and integrative risk governance systems more resilient and therefore less vulnerable (Renn and Klinke 2014); (3) The larger number of actors facilitates experimentation and learning (Renn 2008); (4) This approach includes the experiences from direct community-building efforts and links the various agency levels into an integrated structure of governance (Higo et al 2017;Okada 2018); (5) This approach is sensitive to different cultural contexts and community situations (Renn and Schweizer 2009).…”

Urban areas face multiple risks: they range from natural hazard-induced disasters, fires, and building code violations to social risks such as vandalism, crime, and social disorientation, among others. These risks often interact with each other and cannot be dealt with in isolation. As a means to identify, assess, and manage multiple risks, the concept of ''risk governance'' has been developed, which promises to provide integrative and comprehensive tools to deal with the many manifestations of risks. In this article, risk governance concept has been specifically applied to complex risk situations in urban areas. The concept of risk governance pertains to the many ways in which multiple actors, individuals and institutions, public and private, deal with risks. It includes formal institutions and regimes and informal arrangements. The article first develops an adaptive and integrative model of risk governance and applies this model to the urban environments. After a short summary of the roots of risk governance, key concepts, such as simple, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous risks, are discussed. The main emphasis is on each of the five phases of risk governance: pre-estimation, interdisciplinary assessment, risk evaluation, risk management, and risk communication. Keywords Ambiguity Á Complexity Á Coping strategies Á Integrated urban risk management Á Risk assessment Á Risk evaluation Á Risk governance Á Uncertainty & Ortwin Renn
