REQUISITE OF SUB-ATTRIBUTES FOR SMART CITY CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

A smart city requires citizen participation and key metrics such as smart city elements and performances. This paper aims to identify the sub-attributes for smart city elements and performances that required the formation of the conceptual framework. This research has studied the past literature related to smart city studies and citizen’s needs from the Smart City. This research continues the study by identifying two categories of variables which are Smart City elements and Smart City performance. The investigation of past literature shows that Smart City elements consist of eight attributes namely Administration, Social, Infrastructure and Utilities, Transport, Technology, Human, Economy and Environment. The result of past studies also determines that constructs that are important to Smart City performance are Quality of Life, Resource Management and Economic Competitiveness. To ensure the success of smart city initiatives, this study provides sub-attributes of smart city elements and performance that can assist policymakers and government in selecting the best criteria for sub-attributes for a smart city conceptual framework.
