Abstract:

Developing economies need foreign direct investments to complement domestic investment with a view to increase capital accumulation, productivity and growth rates. But, foreign direct investments (FDIs) may have costs in addition to the well-known benefits to the host country. Generating higher net benefits from FDI necessitates design and implementation of ‘smart’ investment policies by the host countries rather than the current orthodoxy of ‘neutral’ FDI policies, which is based on liberalizing the FDI inflows and aim to attract ‘any’ kind of FDI. In this article, we discuss such polices and how they relate to host country circumstances.

Abstract:

The concept of developing Smart Cities in Yogyakarta is different from the development of Smart Cities in other cities. The Smart City of Yogyakarta is under the big idea of Smart Culture, divided into two fields, namely Smart Education and Smart Tourism. This big concept was taken because Yogyakarta is very thick with its Culture and is known as an education city and tourism city. The idea of Smart Culture is expected to touch all aspects of the lives of the citizens of Yogyakarta that are inseparable from the six basic principles of developing Smart Cities. This study uses a quantitative approach. Data survey was conducted using a questionnaire to the civil servant in Yogyakarta City. The survey results will be analyzed using SmartPLS 3.0 software. The results of this study are divided into two components, namely Tangible and Intangible Culture. This Smart Culture's primary purpose is to make Tangible and Intangible Culture in Yogyakarta City survive and excel. Smart Culture in the city of Yogyakarta acts as an umbrella that underlies the development and other intelligent programs such as smart education and smart Culture. These two components are revealed to be critical projects that can be included in short and medium-term programs on smart education or smart tourism related to Culture. Other findings show that tangible Culture and intangible Culture have a significant influence on smart Culture development.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the urban resilience capacity and its relations with the economic, social and environmental well-being in smart cities in the state of São Paulo (SP), particularly after the 2008 financial crisis. Design/methodology/approach Concerning its objectives, this study is characterized as descriptive. From the point of view of technical procedures, the research is bibliographic, and regarding data collection, it is documental. The approach of this research is quantitative, since it uses the statistical method. The sample was made up by 62 smart cities located in SP. The analysis comprised the period from 2010 to 2015. Findings The urban resilience pillars influence the economic well-being represented by the gross national product, in 58.8 percent, social well-being represented by the life expectancy of the residents of the smart cities, in 71.7 percent, and in environmental well-being indicated by CO2 emissions, in 21.5 percent. Research limitations/implications They are related to the researchers’ decision about the methodological design. Practical implications This study was limited to smart cities in SP listed in the RBCIH (Brazilian Network of Human Smart Cities), and may be extended to other cities in other Brazilian states. Social implications How resilience dimensions related to economic, social and environmental well-being such as poverty, food security, health, well-being, education quality, climate changes, and the like, were measured, which can be investigated in future research studies. Originality/value Despite its growing popularity worldwide, the urban resilience pillars and their relationship with human well-being in smart cities in the national context are little investigated, making this research original.

Abstract:

Research on Smart Cities has come of age. Intense discussion on this topic has been ongoing for years, and the academic prominence of this concept has also engendered several policy initiatives inspired by this label at different administrative levels. However, to date, no large-scale evaluation of the relationship between urban smartness and smart urban policies has been attempted. This article aims at filling this gap. By building on a solid definition of Smart Cities, the article tests the empirical relationship between urban smartness and the intensity of Smart City policies. A novel data set on four different types of policies and smart urban characteristics is assembled for 314 European Union cities. Empirical results suggest that Smart City policies are more likely to be designed and implemented in cities that are already endowed with smart characteristics. Our findings also point to a higher probability that Smart City policies are implemented in denser and wealthier urban areas. These empirical results call for further research on the real effects of actual implemented Smart City policies, with the aim to verify the potential of this policy concept as an overall urban development model encompassing the main drivers of endogenous urban growth.

Abstract:

Recent technological advancements in smart devices have paved the way for a booming mobile commerce industry. As smart device vendors launch products with a rich variety of business applications, it is critical for all stakeholders to understand the attitudes of different vendors toward preinstalled applications in the smart device industry. We address this issue by exploring an analytical model for preinstalled application policies. Specifically, we study how to choose an optimal policy in a market with hypercritical consumers who have disutility from preinstalled applications, and expert consumers who have removal knowledge. The results show that, as marginal preinstallation income increases, firms tend to force more consumer segments to use preinstalled applications. By comparing monopolistic and competitive situations, we find that the advantages of the policy change are different, and competitive firms prefer to adopt more stringent policies than monopolistic firms when the marginal preinstallation income is smaller. The initiative of expert consumers introduced new findings to the research. The increase in such consumers may lead to an increase in the profits of monopolistic firms when they adopt a preinstallation policy with a low removal threshold, but this has no impact on the profits of competitive firms. Additionally, an increase in such consumers will lead competitive firms to choose to bundle applications when the marginal preinstallation income is smaller and the impact on monopolistic firms’ policy decisions is morecomplex.

Abstract:

There are three issues that are crucial to advancing our academic understanding of smart cities: (1) contextual conditions, (2) governance models, and (3) the assessment of public value. A brief review of recent literature and the analysis of the included papers provide support for the assumption that cities cannot simply copy good practices but must develop approaches that fit their own situation ( contingency) and concord with their own organization in terms of broader strategies, human resource policies, information policies, and so on ( configuration). A variety of insights into the mechanisms and building blocks of smart city practices are presented, and issues for further research are identified.

Abstract:

The application of smart city (especially in the aspect of smart government) in the city of Bandung is still focused on technology development, and seems to ignore the human and institutional dimensions. This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of smart government policies in order to realize a smart city in the city of Bandung. The researcher used the theory presented by Grindle as a guide related to policy implementation. The researcher used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. In collecting data, researchers conducted interviews with 37 informants, made observations with the participant as observer method, and collected documents about the implementation of smart government policies in order to realize smart cities. The results showed that (1) implementation of smart government policies in order to realize smart cities in the city of Bandung in general has a positive impact on target groups (target groups). Context of implementation (context of implementation) shows a condition that is not good while Content of policy shows good conditions. In this study the content of policy factor has more influence on outcomes / outcomes than factors of context of implementation. Because the implementation of the smart government policy in the city of Bandung is more influenced by content of policy than context of implementation, the researchers suggested to the Bandung City Government to maximize various conditions in the Content of Policy in order to improve the outcomes of implementing smart government policies that have been implemented.Keywords: Policy Implementation, Smart Government, Smart City

Abstract:

Smart cities are the mainstream trend of modern city development. With the promotion of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area policies, Macau, as one of the four central cities in the Greater Bay Area, has pioneered the development of smart cities. The development goal of the smart city is to use modern electronic information technology to manage, coordinate, share efficiently, and interoperate the city's transportation, logistics, energy resources, and communication services. Comprehensive perception and information collection are the basis for its smart urban management. As one of the important node devices at the perception level of the smart city, smart street lights in Macau are not only the lighting infrastructure, but also include environmental monitoring, video surveillance, communication networks, Internet of Things, information interaction, charging piles and other economic functions of the people's livelihood. Under the above premise, this article discusses the urban policies, applications and prospects of smart streetlamps in Macau. At the same time, it compares the social nature and related policies of the mainland, analyzes the particularity of building smart streetlamps in Macau, and based on the application of smart streetlamps in Macau, propose optimization and development suggestions to promote the construction and development of Macau's smart city.

Abstract:

Today, many cities around the globe are interested in developing or adopting smart city policy frameworks; however, the complexity of the smart city concept combined with complicated urban issues makes it a highly challenging task. Moreover, there are limited studies to consolidate our understanding of smart city policymaking. The aim of this study was to bridge this knowledge gap by placing a set of official smart city policy frameworks under the policy analysis microscope. The study approached the analysis by, firstly, internationally collating the smart city policy frameworks of 52 local governments from 17 countries. The methodology then progressed to a deductive content analysis of the identified policies with a thematic data analysis software. The investigation employed the main themes to identify common urban issues in smart city policies—i.e., smart economy, smart environment, smart governance, smart living, smart mobility, and smart people. The results revealed the targeted key planning issues, goals, and priorities, and the ways that smart city policies address these key planning issues, goals, and priorities. The study findings inform policymakers, planners and practitioners on the smart city policy priorities and provide insights for smart city policymaking.

Abstract:

A smart magnetorheological elastomer peristaltic pump (MRE-PP) realizes controlled movements to convey Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids under various scheduling policies for electromagnets. Although the structure of the basic element consisted of a magnetorheological elastomer tube and an electromagnet is very succinct, the capability of fluid conveying is dramatically improved when the magnetorheological elastomer peristaltic pump composed of more elements in series is employed. Besides, scheduling policies and the length of the magnetorheological elastomer tube, as another two significant factors, also have remarkable effects on backflow, pumped fluid volume, and viscosity of blood. Various scheduling policies are designed to realize fluid conveying with relatively high pumped volume for non-Newtonian fluid. Meanwhile, low destructiveness is demonstrated in the designed magnetorheological elastomer peristaltic pumps, allowing a potential application of conveying stress sensitive fluids.

Abstract:

Embedding ethical concepts into smart Internet-connected devices and making them behave in a more human-centred manner, i.e., ethically and in a socially acceptable manner, has received significant attention in the software industry. To make smart devices behave in more human-centered manners, it is important to develop a methodology for defining smart devices’ key roles and mapping them with socio-ethical and administrative policies. This paper proposes a policy development methodology for making smart devices more human-centred by following its four phases i.e., concept development, defining and mapping policies, implementing the processing of policies, and deploying the devices. The suggested methodology may be used in a variety of situations where smart devices interact with people. For illustration, the proposed methodology has been applied to three different settings, including a supermarket, a children’s hospital, and early learning centers, where each phase defined in the methodology has been followed. The application of the methodology to smart internet-connected devices, including robots, smart cameras, and smart speakers, has shown significant results. It has been observed that the devices behave in more human-centric ways while performing their core functions, adhering to socio-ethical policies.

Abstract:

While there are many empirical studies examining the effectiveness of smart growth policies, few of them study the perspective of developers, the major urban space producers in US cities. This article assesses the impacts of smart growth policies on home developers in the Portland bi-state metropolitan area by developing home developer location choice models. The study shows that home developers in the region are sensitive to most smart growth policies being implemented in the region, but they react to them differently across the border between Oregon and Washington due to their different land use planning systems. The findings suggest that smart growth policies impact single- and multifamily home developers’ location choices differently and that home developers exhibit strong spatial inertia in their location choice.

Abstract:

While sand has become a scarce essential resource for construction and land reclamation worldwide, its extraction causes severe ecological damage and high social costs. To derive policy solutions to this paramount global challenge with broad applicability, this model-based analysis exemplarily studies sand trade from Southeast Asia to Singapore. Accordingly, a coordinated transboundary sand output tax reduces sand mining to a large extent, while the economic costs are small for the sand importer and slightly positive for the exporters. As a novel policy implementation approach, a “Sand Extraction Allowances Trading Scheme” is proposed, which helps sustainably balance the importer’s economic growth with the exporters’ economic development.

Abstract:

With the increasing demand on grid modernization for improving environmental sustainability and grid security, the topic of smart meter adoption has attracted much attention, especially with regard to the roles of public policies. However, there is a lack of research investigating the association between the multi-layered government policies and smart meter adoption from a spatial perspective to explain the variant adoption rates across the United States. This study constructs a panel of 48 contiguous U.S. states and the District of Columbia over the period 2007–2019. Using this unique dataset and spatial econometric models, we investigate the impacts of federal and state policies as well as spatial spillover effects of smart meter adoption in the residential sector. Results indicate the following: (1) Smart meter adoption has spatial spillover effects between the adjacent states in a sense that the rate of adoption in one state is positively associated with adoption rates in the neighboring states; (2) federal funding and state-level legislative actions on advanced metering and smart grid have positive impacts on smart meter adoption. These findings provide important implications for the formulation and implementation of public policies for the adoption of a modern electric grid in the U.S.

Abstract:

A smart city is developed through the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, big data, mobile Internet, and other new generation technologies regarding information and communication, and data resources in various fields are integrated and applied. The issue of information security in the network era is the strategic focus, as well as the focus of people’s attention, during Taiwan’s smart city construction. Information security policies are the information security guidelines for organizations, and are key to the organization’s information security performance; moreover, such policies show the organization’s support and commitment to the information security of smart cities. This paper discusses the model of information security policy in Taiwan’s smart cities, uses Path Analysis to explore the characteristics of information security policy in smart cities, and examines the relationship between the formulation, implementation, maintenance, and effectiveness of information security policies. Furthermore, this study examines the impact on the effectiveness of organizational information security policies and information security performance from the following aspects: The length of information security policy publication time, policy review, policy advocacy, employee compliance, fair law enforcement, etc., which are all concrete manifestations of the formulation, implementation, and maintenance of information security policy models. Through a questionnaire survey, the correlation between various assumptions, as well as the relationship between organizational information security characteristics, information security policies, and the effectiveness of information security, are verified one by one during the implementation of information security policies. Finally, conclusions and implications are put forward.

Abstract:

This study aims to provide an overview of the formulation of policy instruments in improving public services of the Yogyakarta City. Therefore, this study describes the effectiveness that has been achieved and also describes the problems that arise in the Jogja Smart Service Program (JSS) in the context of the formulation of policy making. This can then be useful for developing alternative policy instruments that are similar. In the perspective of public administration, a program of policy can be seen part of the management of decisions in public policy, where the resources and actors are organized and coordinated. This gives consequences about how the process of making instrument formulation at the time of making the policy. Thus, it becomes interesting to see how the process of formulation of policies in the Jogja Smart Service Program (JSS). By using descriptive qualitative research methods, the stages of the method in this research are collecting data related to the policy formulation process of the Jogja Smart Service Program (JSS), in the form of interviews and documentation of regulations and related policies. The result of the research is the formulation of Jogja Smart Service (JSS) policies in Yogyakarta City which still has various challenges, so a combined instrument is needed, namely synergy and collaboration between the government, private sector, community and other stakeholders to support the effectiveness of the program.

Abstract:

Purpose: This study determines the possibility of public service innovation to meet the rapid changes in information technology (IT) and the need for new governance by analyzing three cases in South Korea. Methodology: The Smart Governance-Decision Support Systems (SG-DSS) in this study is a new form that guarantees the voluntary participation of citizens by applying IT to governance. SG-DSS supports the demand response that fulfills universal values and decisions about priorities by collecting citizens’ needs. It also encourages citizens or stakeholders to participate in establishing implementation plans that are more specific and fit for reality, giving legitimacy to public service policies and developing them into a driving force. Findings: The three case studies on Korean public policies show how public opinions reflect public service policies. Therefore, the findings of this study could lay the foundation for customized public services based on intelligent citizen participation by overcoming the current limitations. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: SG-DSS supports the demand response that fulfills universal values and decisions about priorities by collecting citizens’ needs. It also encourages citizens or stakeholders to participate in establishing implementation plans that are more specific and fit for reality, giving legitimacy to public service policies and developing them into a driving force. The core value of smart governance is to apply IT innovations such as big data and AI to public services. Furthermore, advanced technology enables the collection and application of actual public opinions, thereby improving public to be more objective and efficient.

Abstract:

As an important part of energy saving and carbon reduction, the low-carbon development of the transportation industry is imperative. It is the responsibility of smart transportation enterprises to closely combine their own digital technology with the governments’ policies to achieve green innovation. In this study, we conducted an evolutionary game model of the interaction between the governments and smart transportation enterprises, which depended on innovation subsidies and punitive taxes. Besides, we derived the evolutionarily stable strategy of the governments and enterprises and used a simulation to analyze the impact of various policy tools on green innovation strategy. The results showed that the behavior of the governments relies on the benefits of supervision and the costs of supporting green technology innovation. The enterprises’ behavior depends on the benefits of green innovation and the loss of no green innovation. Moreover, different policy tools provided by the governments can accelerate the implementation of enterprises’ green innovation.

Abstract:

The fourth industrial revolution (4IR) is bringing about enormous changes in various aspects of the construction industry. This influence is emerging as a smart technology and is regarded as a productivity innovation in the construction industry. In addition, several countries are attempting policies to diffuse technological innovation into various industries, such as those related to legal systems, investments, and additional markets. These policies commonly have the intention to encourage various industrial factors that are related to smart-construction competitiveness. Therefore, this study analyzed the competitiveness from an industrial perspective to revitalize smart technologies in the construction industry. For this purpose, the acceptance of innovation within the Korean construction industry (KCI) was reviewed through diffusion-innovation theory, and then competitiveness factors were driven by the literature, based on Porter’s diamond model. Factors are measured by the contractors who utilize smart technologies, analyzing the competitiveness priority and differences between them. The main finding is that the “Demand Condition” is the most important industrial competitiveness for embedding smart technology in the early stage of construction industry. Moreover, to reduce the risks related to developing technologies, it suggested that distinct policies are required in accordance with the contractors. These findings are going to be helpful for policy makers as references for developing policies to embed smart technology in the construction industry.

Abstract:

In the context of the European Union promoting clean energy, sustainability and better living conditions for its citizens, the development of smarts cities is an initiative supported at the European Union level, in line with the new energy policies of the European Union promoted by the package “Clean Energy for All Europeans”. The concept of smart cities gains increasing importance in the European Union, a fact that is reflected in the project “European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities” of the European Commission. Smart cities are a practical example of how the new energy policies shape the lives of the European Union citizens, trying to improve it. As a consequence, new business models arise in big cities, involving the use of technology for better living conditions. These new, technology-based business models are important, as they improve the life quality of the inhabitants, they reduce the climate change impact, and they contribute as well to job creation in the IT-industry, promoting innovation. They have as well a social impact, as they bring experts from energy policies, business, economics, legal and IT together in order to project a new type of city—the smart city. The research hypothesis of the present article is that there is a high acceptance towards the concept of smart cities at the European Union level and that this concept could be implemented with the help of information technology and of artificial intelligence. This way, legal provisions, economic measures and IT-tools work together in order to create synergy effects for better life quality of the citizens of the European Union. The research hypothesis is analyzed by means of the questionnaire as a qualitative research method and is as well assessed by using case studies (e.g., Austria, Finland, Romania). The novelty of the case studies is that the development of smart cities is analyzed due to the new trend towards sustainability in two countries with different living conditions in the European Union.

Abstract:

Abstract Given the current challenges of climate change our society is dealing with at a global level, the European Union develops a new energy policy based on clean energy. The package “Clean Energy for All Europeans”, which has been adopted by the European Commission in 2016, contains measures for a new energy policy at the level of the European Union, based on promoting an Energy Union by following a harmonized framework and common objectives. Considering this European policy debate an interesting topic, the present paper deals with the research question what will be the reaction of the business environment to the energy policy measures proposed by the European Commission in terms of innovation. Indeed, it focuses on innovative solutions based on clean energy, that will arise for achieving the three dimensions of social, economic and environmental sustainability, such as smart cities. The initiative of helping the development of smart cities is currently supported by the European Commission in the project “European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities”. Innovative measures are related to new financing schemes for the new projects, as new investments are needed for implementing innovative solutions. Case studies from different Member States of the European Union, e.g. Italy, Austria and Romania, will illustrate the concept of smart cities and their development in the European Union allowing for an in depth analysis and comparison among the different business models implemented. The present work presents a mixed method approach based on the combination of both qualitative research methods, such as multiple-case studies and quantitative methods, represented by the analysis and triangulation of data and indicators provided by European institutions. Furthermore, this study presents a multidisciplinary perspective, considering aspects of European policy, European law, business and economics.

Abstract:

Today, there are many discussions and guidelines on the issue of smart cities (meaning cities that introduced smart technology) from the perspective of traditional urban policy. Smart city policies focusing on technology have been criticized for eliminating the different levels of factors that surround smart cities. When governments fail to consider different factors in implementing smart policies, they might not effectively provide quality services to citizens, because smart cities involve not only technical elements, but also the complex elements surrounding them (e.g., the policy ecosystem and urban infrastructure). This exploratory study examines the determinants of smart cities and their priorities through an analytic hierarchy process analysis. In this study, the priority internal factors appeared in the order of citizen involvement, leadership, and infrastructure, and the priority external factors took the order of political will, stakeholders, and the fourth Industrial Revolution. In addition, this study shows that the presence of communication channels, public hearings, and direct stakeholders is important for analyzing each sub-factor.
