An Empirical Study of Smart Cities Framework Adoption for Sustainable Living in Province Balochistan of Pakistan

Abstract

Information and Communications Technology (ICTs) are being used to build smart cities capable of reacting to the city's multiple changes and obstacles, such as Smart living, competent governance, Smart climate, intelligent people, smart tractability, and wonderful economics. For a better understanding of smart cities, several academics have sought to define them and highlight the potential and difficulties of creating intelligent urban communities using the Internet of Things. Due to a lack of comprehensive resilience due to respect for the component of a smart city, city leaders and organizers/designers must distinguish between the smart city system and its related activities, which smart city implementation representatives must enthusiastically accept. By enforcing acceptable standards and developing partnerships, smart cities that use Internet of Things (IoT) and cutting-edge innovation-based assets help ordinary citizens. As a result, this research identifies and promotes the development of a smart city framework adoption model based on a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) for the framework's adoption and Behavior Intention, Perceived Privacy, Perceived Security, and Perceived Value, as well as the self-efficacy and effort-expectancy of smart cities (Smart Economy, Smart Environment, Smart Government, Smart Living, Smart Mobility and Smart People). A review survey was also used to obtain input from respondents on their observations and acceptance of the proposed smart city framework adoption model by city professionals (city planners and organizers, engineers and academics, and important stakeholders). These findings, which influenced Balochistan Province policy, demonstrated that two cities in the province made the right option in implementing smart city technology.
