Abstract: (1834 Views)
In this research, the role of smart cities and stakeholders in the development and utilization of smart city technologies for achieving future cities was examined. Additionally, the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on urban management and the need to eliminate or restrict harmful phenomena in people's daily urban life were investigated.
Using a theoretical framework and conducted research, the effective factors in smart urban management in dealing with pandemic diseases in Karaj city were identified as "smart innovation," "smart energy control," "smart transportation and communications," "smart sustainability," "smart governance," "smart participation," and "smart information system."
The results of the one-sample t-test indicate that, from the perspective of urban experts and managers, the variables "improving public transportation system through online and internet-based projects," "access to information and data needed by citizens through a display," and "improving integrated travel planning through mobile internet platforms" had the highest average scores. From the perspective of healthcare professionals, the variables "benefiting from expert opinions outside the urban management structure," "organizing collective webinars for reporting at the local level by citizens to urban management institutions," and "access to information and data needed by citizens through a display" had the highest average scores, indicating the importance and significance of these components in the target population.
In fact, these results indicate that the development of smart cities and the utilization of new technologies in urban management can be highly effective in dealing with pandemic crises such as the COVID-19 epidemic. For example, through smart approaches, communication, energy control, innovation, and public participation can be improved in urban management.
Finally, based on the obtained results, it is recommended that urban management in the intervention area (Karaj city) should focus on the development of smart transportation, the establishment of smart geographic information systems, and the promotion of smart participation. Additionally, it would be beneficial for urban managers and professionals (especially in Karaj city) to consider these seven factors specifically in their managerial decision-making when facing pandemic crises.
