The City

Young people are important to cities, bringing skills and energy and contributing to economic activity. New technologies have led to the idea of a smart city as a framework for city management. Smart cities are developed from the top-down through government programmes, but also from the bottom-up by residents as technologies facilitate participation in developing new forms of city services. Young people are uniquely positioned to contribute to bottom-up smart city projects. Few diagnostic tools exist to guide city authorities on how to prioritise city service provision. A starting point is to understand how the youth value city services. This study surveys young people in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, and conducts an importance-performance analysis to identify which city services are well regarded and where the city should focus efforts and resources. The results show that Smart city initiatives that would most increase the satisfaction of youths in Braamfontein  include wireless connectivity, tools to track public transport  and  information  on city events. These  results  identify  city services that are valued by young people, highlighting services that young people could participate in providing. The importance-performance analysis can assist the city to direct effort and scarce resources effectively.

Many governments implement smart city concept in their daily operation. As the concept continues to develop, smart cities all over the world are now starting to utilize big data. Learning from their private counterparts that already ahead in harnessing the potential benefits of big data implementation, smart cities begin the transformation of implementing big data. The purpose of this research paper is to: 1) Review the possible opportunities offered by big data implementation in smart city, 2) Review the challenges that smart city need to solve in utilizing big data, 3) Develop a framework that addresses the key factors in successful big data implementation in smart city. This research paper produces a framework that addresses several key factors that smart city government should consider ensuring success when implementing big data based on the proposed model indicators in private sectors. This framework consists of key factors of big data implementation for smart city which are top management support, organizational change, privacy and security, data availability and quality, cost, skillset and knowledge, big data policy, and technological infrastructure. It is important to have an understanding that these key factors correlate each other and are equally important.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop and validate a scale for measuring perceived bureaucratic readiness for smart city initiatives. Design/methodology/approach The present study employs a mixed method approach to achieve its research objectives. An exploratory study, consisting of literature review and qualitative interviews with key informants, was conducted to develop an initial instrument for measuring bureaucratic readiness. An online survey of 40 civil servants involved in smart city programmes in the Yogyakarta City government was then administered to test the instrument’s validity and reliability. Findings Perceived bureaucratic readiness can be measured through four dimensions: commitment of the upper echelons, legal support, information technology resources and governance. Research limitations/implications The proposed scale provides an alternative instrument for measuring perceived bureaucratic readiness for smart city initiatives. However, as data were only derived from one city government, they are relatively small in scope. Future research can be conducted for generalisation by replicating this study in other cities, thereby measuring its effectiveness in other contexts and settings. Practical implications This study not only provides a better understanding of bureaucratic readiness for smart city initiatives, but also proposes an assessment tool as a practical means of assessing bureaucratic readiness. The quantification of readiness is beneficial to putting smart city programmes into practice, as it allows smart city managers to assess the internal bureaucracy’s level of readiness. It also allows managers to mitigate and further policy agendas and thereby improve the bureaucracy’s support for smart city programmes. Originality/value Literature sometimes underestimates the role of bureaucracy in smart city implementation while overly stressing stakeholders, vendors and technology. This paper attempts to contribute to smart city research by reaching beyond the technological perspective and focusing on local government bureaucracy. None of the extant literature provides a scale for measuring bureaucratic readiness. The study thus proposes a systematic way to develop a means of measuring perceived bureaucratic readiness for smart city programmes.

This study examines how the presence of "Madani Smart Card" and "Child Identity Card" which is a program rather than the development of smart cities in the city of Pekanbaru. Smart city which then emerged as one of the hot discourses was discussed in the discourse on sustainable development, which in this case will be applied in every city in all corners of the world. The author then in this study uses qualitative research methods, where data and field findings will be presented descriptively. By measuring how the causes of the two smart cards are presented, the author tries to find an understanding of any urgency that arises or real problems faced by Pekanbaru City. So in the theoretical framework the writer uses Dye's theory in analyzing the process of program formulation or termination and policies taken by the government, in this case the Pekanbaru City government. The findings which were then obtained by the authors through this research are that after referring to the Pekanbaru City Medium Term Development Planning 2017-2022 document, finally the author can pick up or know the backrest and framework that presents the two smart card program. So that from this study the authors can get the following results: First, theoretically the presence of the two smart card program will have a good impact on the ability or literacy of technology and information usability in the city of Pekanbaru. Second, the implementation of the two smart card program would have been right on target if it referred to one of the problems facing the city of Pekanbaru. Third and finally, although the presence of this program is good in some respects, on the other hand there are holes that should be prioritized to be patched actually by the city government through its innovations, one example of how the poor or marginal in the city can be utilized through the concept of smart city (smart city) and its development there. Penelitian ini menelaah tentang bagaimana kehadiran “Kartu Smart Madani” dan “Kartu Identitas Anak” di mana merupakan program daripada pengembangan kota pintar (smart city) di Kota Pekanbaru. Smart city yang kemudian muncul sebagai salah satu wacana yang hangat di perbincangkan dalam diskurus mengenai pembangunan berkelanjutan, yang dalam hal ini akan di terapkan di setiap kota di seluruh penjuru dunia. Penulis kemudian dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, di mana data dan hasil temuan lapangan akan di sajikan secara deskriptif. Dengan menakar bagaimana penyebab dihadirkannya kedua kartu pintar tersebut, penulis mencoba untuk mencari pengertian dari setiap urgensi yang muncul atau permasalahan yang nyata di hadapi oleh Kota Pekanbaru. Sehingga dalam kerangka teoritis penulis memakai teori dari Dye dalam menganalisis proses perumusan atau pemutusan program serta kebijakan yang diambil oleh pemerintah, dalam hal ini pemerintah Kota Pekanbaru. Temuan yang kemudian di dapatkan oleh penulis lewat penelitian ini adalah setelah merujuk pada dokumen Rancangan Pembangunan Jangka Menengah  Kota Pekanbaru 2017-2022 akhirnya penulis bisa mengambil atau mengetahui sandaran serta kerangka kerja yang menghadirkan program dua kartu pintar tersebut. Sehingga dari penelitian ini bisa penulis dapatkan hasil sebagai berikut: Pertama, secara teoritis kehadiran program dua kartu pintar ini akan berdampak baik terhadap kecakapan atau literasi teknologi dan dayaguna informasi di kota Pekanbaru. Kedua, pengimplementasian daripada program dua kartu pintar ini kiranya sudah tepat sasaran jika merujuk kepada salah satu permasalahan yang dihadapi kota Pekanbaru. Ketiga dan terkahir, walaupun kehadiran program ini dalam beberapa hal baik adanya, namun di sisi lain terdapat lobang yang seharusnya lebih didahulukan untuk ditambal sebenarnya oleh pihak pemerintah kota melalui inovasi-inovasinya, salah satu contohnya bagaimana masyarakat miskin atau marginal di kota tersebut dapat didayagunakan lewat konsep kota pintar (smart city) dan pengembangannya di sana.
