Item Restricted Enabling Citizens’ Participation to implement Smart Sustainable Cities for Saudi Vision 2030(University of New South Wales Sydney - UNSW, 2024-08-18) Alamoudi, Abood Khaled; Abidoye, Rotimi Boluwatife; Lim, Benson; Lam,Terence YatThe emerging technologies and a focus on producing better urban environments, the smart sustainable cities (SSC) concept carries a lot of recognition among governments and societies. Aspirations for smart cities are heightened by citizens' participation in decision-making, even though citizens' participation isn't adhered to under current policies and governance. Smart cities have been labeled in recognition of these advantages by several cities around the world. Globally, citizen engagement has been acknowledged in urban development and decision-making; however, no evaluations of empowerment's impact have been conducted to compare it against other factors. SSC variables will be identified in this thesis, and more importantly, factors that contribute to implementing SSC will be ranked, categorized, and discussed in terms of engaging citizens, empowering them, and enabling them to participate in the urban development of SSC. This thesis aims to develop a citizens' participation framework by combining qualitative and quantitative methods, identifying additional stakeholder management measures (SMM), and explaining how SMM is positively correlated with citizen participation levels (CPLs) as well as smart sustainable city outcomes (SSCOs). In the conceptual framework, three main components are identified: Smart Sustainable Cities Outcomes (SSCO) based on SMM, Community Participation Recruitment (CPR), and Future Saudi Cities Program (FSCP) based on Saudi Vision 2030 and Saudi government policy. To achieve smart sustainable city outcomes, all of these components must be present. SSCs and their complex nature can be more effectively implemented by utilizing the proposed framework from a conceptual and practical perspective.80 0
