“…The identification of a relationship between communication media and relationship-building is not new to social media. For example, in a study of online discussion groups, a forum analogous to that which social media affords, Brainard and Derrick-Mills [19] find that these groups provide an opportunity for interaction that could lead to the relationship-building necessary to support mutuality and the spirit of reciprocal cooperation. The similarity of discussion group affordances to those of social media lends credence to the expectation that social media usage carries the potential to cultivate trust and support community policing efforts.…”

Police departments use social media to inform the local community. Additionally, police share selfpromotional information to enhance the public's perception of law enforcement. Research using cultivation theory shows that reliance on a media source such as television cultivates viewer perceptions of a subject. We apply cultivation theory to this interactive medium to test whether viewing and responding to social media messages increases followers' satisfaction with the police. Surveys administered online to the followers of four police departments show that followers who view and respond to police posts more frequently are also inclined to be more satisfied with the police. Minorities are less satisfied with police than whites, but not significantly so. Finally, followers who like (dislike) police self-promotion are more (less) satisfied with police. The findings provide partial support for applying cultivation theory to the social media setting and suggest that police use of social media can help achieve community policing goals.

“…In this regard, practitioners seem to be unwilling to fully interact with stakeholders, fearing that their control will be weakened [58], which could be the result of the current inexperience in managing smart cities. Indeed, experience has been shown to be a highly significant factor for networking and network management [59].…”

Many of the challenges to be faced by smart cities surpass the capacities, capabilities, and reaches of their traditional institutions and their classical processes of governing, and therefore new and innovative forms of governance are needed to meet these challenges. According to the network governance literature, governance models in public administrations can be categorized through the identification and analysis of some main dimensions that govern in the way of managing the city by governments. Based on prior research and on the perception of city practitioners in European smart cities, this paper seeks to analyze the relevance of main dimensions of governance models in smart cities. Results could shed some light regarding new future research on efficient patterns of governance models within smart cities.

“…Much depends on the values the administrators emphasize. If they see enhancing citizenship as their role, as opposed to maintaining administrative power, and including citizen concerns in the decision-making process rather than making decisions for citizens, public administrators have the ability to use social media as a mechanism for the advancement of public participation and representation (Brainard & Derrick-Mills, 2011;Bryer, 2011).…”
