Introduction
In today’s world, the increase in the population of cities and the complexity of urban management have brought many challenges to urban communities. Responding to these challenges and improving the quality of life of citizens are the main goals of city management institutions. In this regard, the development of smart cities has been proposed as a new and effective solution and has attracted a lot of attention. The development of a smart city as a multidimensional and challenging phenomenon is of great importance in social, economic, and environmental dimensions. On the other hand, given the increase in urban population and the growth of urbanization, the need for smart and optimal management of urban resources and services is of great importance. This research aims to provide a model of technological criteria for the development of a smart city, emphasizing technological dimensions and focusing on the city of Tehran.
Materials and Methods
To achieve this goal, first, information was collected through library studies and articles on the World Wide Web, then field research, i.e., compiling a questionnaire, will be used to describe the viewpoint of the research community. In this study, three questionnaires were used. The first questionnaire was the Fuzzy Delphi method, which was used to determine the main dimensions and criteria of a smart city. In this regard, seven main dimensions including smart people, smart environment, smart economy, smart life, smart transportation, technology and infrastructure, and smart governance and management were identified and examined. Initially, the Fuzzy Delphi technique was used to screen the criteria and identify the basic criteria. Then, the second questionnaire was used to determine the intensity and direction of the relationships between the criteria using the DEMET method, and the influential and influential criteria were identified. Finally, with the third questionnaire, the best-worst method, the weights of the criteria and sub-criteria were calculated, an, including smart people, smart environment, smart economy, smart life, smart transportation, technology and infrastructure, and smart governance and management,d the final prioritization was presented.
Findings
The results of this study showed that the criteria of smart governance and management, smart technology and infrastructure, and smart economy are recognized as the most important influential criteria in the development of a smart city in Tehran, while the criterion of smart life has the most influence. Therefore, the criteria of smart governance and management with rank 1, smart technology and infrastructure with rank 2, and smart economy with rank 3 are recognized as the most critical influential criteria in the development of a smart city in Tehran, while the criterion of smart life with rank seven and smart environment with rank 6 has the most influence. Information and communication technology infrastructure in Tehran needs further improvements in order to become a widespread smart network.
The findings of this study show that the development of a smart city in Tehran, with regard to the indicators of smart governance, information and communication technology infrastructure, smart economy, and quality of life, can be largely close to successful models in other countries. By examining similar indicators in leading cities such as Singapore, Seoul, and Helsinki, Tehran’s strengths and weaknesses can be assessed.
Conclusion
The present study shows that compared to other smart cities in the world, Tehran requires very high investment in various areas, including smart governance, technology infrastructure, smart economy, and quality of life. Based on the findings of this study, given the potential capacities in Tehran, it is possible to use the successful experiences of other cities in developing a smart city and implement similar programs for Tehran.
According to the findings of the study, technological infrastructure in Tehran is still in the early stages of development, and the use of advanced technologies such as IoT has not yet been widely implemented in the city. Therefore, increasing investment in this area can help increase urban efficiency and reduce environmental problems.
