“…A smart city cannot function without modern technologies that are compatible with the digital infrastructure (Chourabi et al 2012;Maestre et al 2018). Therefore, technology and digital infrastructure are significant in encouraging an innovative spirit between different stakeholders and citizens (Sung et al 2020). In most institutions, technology is the enabler towards achieving strategic objectives (Zhang et al 2018).…”

“…Policies set the course of action for resolving each municipality's social issues, standard of living and service delivery challenges (Gunawan et al 2018). As a result, when developing such policies, small and rural municipalities should consider important aspects of smart city implementation (Bustos & Sánchez-Ortiz 2018;Dewi et al 2018;Sung et al 2020). Unfortunately, policies may slow down the efforts to implement a smart city (Alawadhi et al 2012;Dewi et al 2018).…”

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the challenges that affect the implementation of a smart city in South African small and rural municipalities.Methods: A qualitative research methodology was employed to collect data through interviews from small and rural municipalities. The target population for this study was municipality personnel involved in decision making and those charged with smart city implementation responsibilities in South African small and rural municipalities. Results:The results of this study revealed that insufficient Internet connectivity and a lack of digital infrastructure, technology, budget, sustainable energy and skilled workforce are the challenges that affect smart city projects in South African small and rural municipalities. Conclusion:To execute and implement smart city projects successfully, South African small and rural municipalities should address the challenges before they start with their projects. Contribution:The findings of this study will significantly contribute to the body of knowledge in the field of smart cities, information systems and rural studies by exposing challenges that may affect small and rural municipalities when engaging in a smart city project.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The concept of a ‘smart city’ is now commonly used to describe the use of various digital and other technologies, to collect data to provide information that can be used to manage resources efficiently and provide a better standard of living for the citizens. Small and rural municipalities in developing countries face growing challenges in managing their resources, to provide basic services such as housing, education, transport, health, water and electricity to the citizens. This research is aimed at identifying key factors that could assist small and rural municipalities to assess their readiness for smart city implementation. A systematic literature review methodology was employed to provide an exhaustive summary of substantiated research relevant to the research aim and to synthesize key factors that are crucial to assess small and rural municipalities’ readiness. This study was conducted between January and July 2022. As a contribution, this study identified and synthesized key factors to be addressed when determining a municipality’s readiness to become a smart city. Through the use of ATLAS.ti to analyze the data, the study identifies the following key factors: infrastructure, the environment, skills, innovation, technology, the economy, citizens, culture, finance, the public sector, private organizations, data, management, policies, internet connectivity, education and energy. Advancing these key elements should also help small and rural municipalities, who are not yet ready to actuate a smart city, to prepare for such an endeavor, in order to address service delivery issues, the economy and the quality of life of their citizens.
