Abstract
Background and Aim: Achieving urban sustainability through smart cities is necessary to manage urban problems that threaten human survival. Smart city policy includes various social, economic, physical and environmental aspects. and provides the possibility of developing practical plans for urban sustainability. The aim of this research is to measure the factors affecting the development of the smart and sustainable city of Tabriz.
Materials and methods: The research method is descriptive-exploratory. It is functional in purpose. The statistical population of the research includes experts and specialists in urban planning, urban planning, and professors, and the sample size is 46 people. To analyze the data using the structural equation method, the final part describes the confirmatory factor analysis using the structural equation model (SEM). SPSS software was used for data analysis. SEM modeling was done using AMOS software. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) model was conducted using various factors of sustainable smart city development such as traffic problem, parking problem, storm water problem, waste management, road safety problem, pollution problem, drinking water problem and crime related problem. AMOS software was used to perform structural equation modeling (SEM).
Results and discussion: The results showed that the traffic problem with a factor load of 0.958 has the greatest impact and the flood problem with a factor load of 0.451 has the least impact among the factors affecting the development of the sustainable smart city of Tabriz. Also, the goodness-of-fit index (GFI) is 0.946, which indicates the acceptability of this amount for the optimal fit of the model. The value of the root mean square error of estimation (RMSEA) is 0.057, which is acceptable considering that it is smaller than 0.08, and it indicates the confirmation of the research model. Therefore, it can be concluded that the CFA model is valid, and the selected parameters can contribute to the development of a sustainable smart city in Tabriz.
Conclution: The biggest challenge for the planning and construction of the smart city of Tabriz is discovering the real needs of the people, raising the public awareness of the society and especially the urban management, explaining the mechanism of smart work and its benefits for the people, as well as the people's share of the benefits of smartness and promotion People's participation in the field of traffic, urban waste management, air pollution, issues related to crimes, etc. is one of the important and influential issues, which neglecting it has caused problems in the quality of life and general well-being of the society and caused disruptions in the provision of services to the people. Is. This study provides deep knowledge in the implementation of aspects of the smart city plan and also suggests a solution for further development of the effective factors in the sustainability of the smart city of Tabriz.The biggest challenge for the planning and construction of the smart city of Tabriz is discovering the real needs of the people, raising the public awareness of the society and especially the urban management, explaining the mechanism of smart work and its benefits for the people, as well as the people's share of the benefits of smartness and promotion People's participation in the field of traffic, urban waste management, air pollution, issues related to crimes, etc. is one of the important and influential issues, which neglecting it has caused problems in the quality of life and general well-being of the society and caused disruptions in the provision of services to the people.
