“…The government must provide high-quality public policies and services that maximize citizens’ interests and satisfaction without harming them. There is also a significant positive correlation between stakeholder management measures such as regulation, cooperation, legalization, and control and the level of citizen participation [ 57 ].…”

“…However, all planning is carried out by professionals and the citizens' opportunity to configure their choice is reduced. The citizens do not have the freedom to express their opinions in regulations and urban planning; they are steered by the authority to provide an opinion [72]. Therefore, including citizens in the decision-making process in a true sense will enhance the implementation of the ICT and will truly contribute to the process [69].…”

“…Participation means engaging in decision-making along with authorities. Arnstein [95] categorised CP into eight levels, from manipulation to citizen power, where the former represents the lowest level of CP and the latter represents the highest level of CP [72]. The predictor participation was tested and was found to be a significant positive predictor, as shown in Tables 10-15 and 17.…”

It is imperative to expand the concept of smart cities beyond merely focusing on technology to include human, social, and environmental capital investing to develop smart sustainable cities (SSC). In recognition of smart cities’ advantages, several cities have adopted smart city labels. Although citizens’ engagement in public urban development and decision-making has been acknowledged globally in many countries, evaluating the outcomes that allow citizens to contribute does not measure and compare with other factors. This study examines the impact between the citizens’ participation level (CPL) and the smart sustainable cities outcome (SSCO). Four factors were extracted from the literature review and interviews were conducted with 12 decision and policymakers to establish the importance of these factors and to suggest any other additional factors. In addition, a questionnaire survey was utilised to assess and validate the result by experts in the field of the built environment. The mean score (MS) ranking was used to confirm the importance of these predicted correlations with SSCO. Endogeneity tests and multivariate regression analysis were adopted to validate the causality between CLP and SSCO. The results suggest that a positive significant correlation exists between the CPL and SSCO. A higher CPL leads to a higher level of SSCO, but this does not apply the other way around. The four significant factors of CPL to engage and empower citizens are accountability and responsibility, transparency, participation, and inclusion. This paper contributes to knowledge by identifying the measures of CPL and SSCO that can support the implementation of SSC by understanding what can be expected from the government and decision-makers and what can be expected from the citizens.

“…Research states that genetically modified food and reproductive technologies, among other nanotechnologies, are hazardous to our health [87]. Therefore, Alamoudi and Abidoye [88] suggest that proper regulations should be used to limit the effects of nanotechnology; otherwise, humanity runs the risk of incurring huge losses compared to its benefits.…”

A Qualitative Study on Factors Influencing Technology Adoption in the Architecture Industry

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The architecture service industry has typically been slow in accepting new digital technologies widely due to many reasons, such as the industry’s complexity, the diverse sizes of companies, client types, and stakeholders’ technical skills. The combination of these business service factors with those that affect the intention of a user to use a technology offers a novel model for predicting the success of technology adoption in this business. This study aims to identify the factors in the architecture industry that influence the process of technology adoption. The process of qualitative data collection was conducted using semi-structured interviews with the participation of 30 architecture and design managers to explore the factors that they consider important when adopting digital technology in their organizations. This was conducted to compare these factors with those identified by users as influential in the adoption of digital technology. The analysis was conducted in three stages, namely transcribing, coding, and extracting major themes. This study starts by discussing demographic factors such as gender and their influence on the technology adoption process in the selected organizations. This study will further help in identifying whether managers viewed the factors identified in the quantitative study as significant in affecting their decisions to adopt the technology. The major findings of this study revealed that several factors influence the adoption of technology in the architecture industry at the managerial level. These factors include cost, brief preparation, service quality, result demonstrability, project time, environmental considerations, training considerations, and user-friendliness.
