“…Then, other influencing factors are the encouragement of environmentally friendly fuels and public engagement, active mobility and inclusive mobility [21]. In addition, the urgency of smart mobility is solving problems with transportation infrastructure, urban digitization, and active governance strategies (accessible, equity, and sustainability) [22] [23] [24]. This research will use a thematic analysis approach to map the study of smart mobility with the Lampung Province RPJMD document.…”

This study aims to determine the development of smart mobility in Lampung province with an analysis based on the Medium-Term Development Plan 2019-2024. The method used is qualitative with analysis using Computer Assigned Data Qualitative Software Nvivo 12plus. Data visualization using theme identification analysis and crosstab analysis. The results showed that the Lampung provincial government is concerned in building smart mobility based on the Medium-Term Development Plan 2019-2024 with the classification of Information Communication and Technology (ICT) Infrastructure, Innovative and Safe Transportation System, Local Accessibility, and Sustainable. Of the four indicators, local accessibility is the main program of Lampung Province in building local networks and inter-regional transportation because access to social mobility is still difficult as many as 252 KM of roads are still in damaged condition. Then ICT infrastructure which is due to the still very minimal network and telecommunications by positioning ICT Lampung to 30 of the total provinces in Indonesia. Furthermore, Innovative and safe sustainable transportation is less detailed in the Medium-Term Development Plan document because the main focus is physical infrastructure.

“…In Romania, the 'smart city' term was firstly used by the business environment to which the scientific research closed up. As Ibanescua (Ibănescua, et al, 2022) and (Stoica & Ilas, 2009) said, the smart city concept started with analysation digitalization process in e-governance framework. Since 2016, the concepts "intelligent city" and "smart city", according to Ibanescua (Ibănescua, et al, 2022), were used either alternatively or simultaneously and currently, the main focus is redefinitions of smart city concepts between smart projects and smart vision (Bănică, et al, 2020).…”

While the Earth’s resources and capability are at its limits, while large part of the society is suffering from hardship, the other part is responsible for overconsumption, enormous waste generation. Pollution combined with self-centred human attitude led to the most crucial situation in our century of crises, Climate Change. It is currently one of the most urgent global problems, which are interconnected, complex and it has environmental, economic, social, and technological perspectives. While cities represent most of the population, the biggest greenhouse gas (GHGs) emitter, they use arable land for urban purposes, and they are the centre of services and production. Accordingly, cities were seen as excellent testing-grounds to put smart solutions in a new prospective and examine whether they could be or has been adapted into sustainable climate change combat by increasing the efficiency of mitigation and adaptation processes. For that reason, it will be investigated whether the focus of smart (city) solutions is either primarily environmental (smart-sustainable), or the focus is economic efficiency, but its use is more complex, which enhance sustainability. Based on this aim, the dissertation uses inductive approach, which is applied by using qualitative, explorative methodology such as semi-structured interviews (N=17) with content analysis to define the city level efficiency of the solutions, the driven factors within the decisions, and non-probability sampling methods during the questionary (N=550) to specify smart ability to increase climate awareness at the level of individuals. The research findings confirmed that, however the economic efficiency still dominate the development decisions, the environmental aspect is increasingly important mostly in the fields of mobility, energy usage and heating through the more complex, sustainable, resilient applied approaches in the implementation processes. In addition, there is a shrinking knowledge gap between the ‘investors’ (final users) and the providers of smart solutions, and the relevance of the sensitization and education of the population has become more important. Finally, through the survey, interviews and research, existing smart solutions have been collected within the six sectors of smart city to contribute to the educational purposes.
