Social Inclusion Indicators for Building Citizen-Centric Smart Cities: A Systematic Literature Review

2021

Despite the rhetoric of “citizen-first,” which has been tokenized in recent years by the smart city administrations, what it means has long been unclear to many, including the public at large. Put simply, this rhetoric concerns the mindset of the members of a local community and places them at the heart of the smart city initiatives. In order to bring further clarity to this issue under the current neoliberal urbanism, this study aimed to identify the key indicators of citizen-centric smart cities from the perspective of participative governance practices and citizens’ responsibilities. To achieve this aim, this study involved a systematic literature review of the social inclusion indicators for building citizen-centric smart cities. The social inclusion indicators that were formed were verified by practitioners to suit the local contexts of an emerging and developing country, in this case, Malaysia. The findings of the review revealed that: (a) the acceptance of social inclusion indicators was mainly limited to the realm of democratic developed countries, leaders’ understanding of citizenship, the delegation of decision-making power in governance practices, the participative culture of societies, and individual citizens’ self-discipline; (b) the social inclusion indicators may not be welcomed in emerging and developing countries; (c) in the long term, these indicators would shed light on the rise of self-organizing cities that will gain popularity in potential city developments, be it in developed or developing countries.

“…According to the conceptual model and technical basis used for the definition of SCML and the components of its architecture (Porto & Macadar, 2017), as a fundamental technical base, CERTICS was adapted to the context of smart cities. This methodology has not been previously applied in the software sector and represents an inspiring technical reference for the creation of similar instruments in other contexts and sectors (Alves, Salviano, & Stefanuto, 2015).…”

“…This approach is adopted as a way of delivering and describing the value produced, when certain smart elements are achieved in smart cities. According to the adopted the theoretical lens and conceptual model (Porto & Macadar, 2017) that supported the initial version of SCML, smart cities can expand the capacity of value-generating mechanisms that create the various types of public value (economic, political, social, strategic, quality of life, ideological and stewardship) for multiple stakeholders (government, industry, academia, citizens and other stakeholders) who, in this context, are representatives of the Quadruple Helix (Schuurman et al, 2012;Veeckman & van der Graaf, 2015).…”

Several smart cities initiatives are currently underway around the world, and this trend is expected to grow in the coming years. Such initiatives should be designed according to the needs and conditions of each municipality, with the aim of expanding or generating public value for stakeholders. This paper analyzes the results obtained from a first evaluation cycle of the Smart Cities MethodoLogy and its components (a reference model and an assessment method), developed based on a Public Value perspective, in a study conducted within the Design Science epistemological paradigm and Design Science Research method. The artifacts developed to solve the identified problem were evaluated, based on the perceptions reported by representatives of the Quadruple Helix (government, industry, academia and citizens) from different knowledge areas. The results of this first evaluation cycle allowed for improvements to be made to the initial versions of the three artifacts and the perceptions obtained indicated they can aid in the design and evaluation of smart cities by bringing together supposed intelligent best practices that generate public value, thus constituting a scientific contribution of a prescriptive nature.

The concept of smart cities has gained significant attention due to the potential of smart cities to optimize city services and enhance citizens’ quality of life. Cities are investing in digital transformation to become smarter, sustainable, and resilient. Therefore, there is a need to build a comprehensive and holistic model to assess smart city initiatives. This paper aims to develop a model that can capture the maturity of smart city adoption across various functional domains. These domains are divided into focus areas that capture different dimensions of a smart city and grouped into seven groups: ICT, economy, environment, social, resources, services, and governance. Each focus area has a set of maturity levels that describe the capabilities and outcomes of the city at different stages of development. To develop the model, the focus areas were extracted from the literature based on 16 models that have been reviewed. Assessing these models helped in identifying gaps and building the foundation of the model. Using the information extracted from the literature, a focus area model was designed and developed. The model development included seven main phases, which were: scope, design, populate, test, deploy, and maintain. The current paper validates the proposed model using the Delphi method, which involves the participation of a panel of sixty field experts. The experts evaluated the model’s correctness and completeness based on their experience and provided feedback. This feedback was used to revise and finalize the model. The smart city maturity model provides a framework for benchmarking, planning, and improving smart city initiatives. Cities can use the model to measure their performance and evaluate their weaknesses and strengths. The model is also the most comprehensive in terms of the scope of the focus areas included, and the results show that the model has a high level of accuracy and consistency and can effectively assess smart city adoption.
