This study addresses the concept of smart governance in context cities, with a focus on analyzing phenomenon collaboration. Relying existing collaboration and participation concepts city domain, an empirical analysis was undertaken how ICT can promote collaborative increase engagement government. The multiple case studies three cities Brazil that run municipal operations centers effort to "become smarter": Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, Belo Horizonte. Interviews directors, managers,...
We present the main messages of a European Expert Round Table (ERT) on unintended side effects (unseens) digital transition. Seventeen experts provided 42 propositions from ten different perspectives as input for ERT. A full-day ERT deliberated communalities and relationships among these unseens suggestions (i) what major are; (ii) how rebound transitioning may become subject overarching research; (iii) should subjects transdisciplinary theory practice processes developing socially robust...
This paper presents the main messages of a South American expert roundtable (ERT) on unintended side effects (unseens) digital transformation. The input ERT comprised 39 propositions from 20 experts representing 11 different perspectives. two-day discussed drivers and challenges as well vulnerabilities or unseens provided suggestions for: (i) mechanisms underlying major unseens; (ii) understanding possible ways in which rebound transformation may become subject overarching research three...
While the public sector traditionally lags behind business in innovation, significant changes are anticipated with broad diffusion of so-called disruptive technologies. The use such technologies service, along possible benefits, need to be well researched, and challenges carefully discussed, analysed evaluated. This paper applies scenario-based science technology roadmapping identify research training needs implementation service. 70 experts reviewed 13 future scenarios derived a number...
Building smart sustainable cities initiatives requires governance capacity, which is constantly challenged by a diversity of actors and the transformation towards digital society; however, process identifying conditions for building city (SSC) not straightforward. As an attempt to map key conditions, goal this study suggest guidelines development SSC in format generic roadmap. This research applies design science methodology builds roadmap based on identified antecedents that may hinder or...
Governments are required by the increasing urbanisation to provide new and innovative services. Information Communication Technologies have emerged as key drivers in redefinition of city mechanism its relationship with citizens. In newest paradigms, cities constitute an environment for implementing actions promoting contribution many stakeholders.

Smart government relies both on the application of digital technologies to enable citizen's participation in order achieve a high level citizen centricity and data-driven decision making improve quality life citizens. Data-driven decisions turn depend accessible reliable datasets, which open social media data are likely promise. The SmartGov project uses by integrating Fuzzy Cognitive Maps model real problems simulate different scenarios leading better making. This research performed...
The success of citizens’ electronic participation, or eParticipation, depends not only on mitigating digital divide challenges, but also facing socio-organizational issues such as citizen data privacy, ICT literacy, well awareness and motivation to participate. Despite the efforts several researchers present models frameworks for empirical applications based Capability Approach (CA), we found a theoretical gap when searching scientific work addressing social aspects applications; more...
This paper presents the analysis of SmartGov project as a case smart technologies application, such expert-based Fuzzy Cognitive Maps, social media applications and open data, to promote citizen engagement support decision-making. The objective this is analyze role digital inputs achieve city governance. main results are illustrated in framework that combines governance elements real description.
To respond to new challenges of urban growth, including development and sustainability issues, governments are attempting take advantage digital technologies deliver better services improve their policies managerial practices. The literature in Smart Cities is still scarce the basic understanding organizational transformations associated with city governance generation public value. This ongoing research constitutes a first step towards intertwined dynamics information forms transformation...
Smart Cities theme has evolved in the last years, leading cities to implement initiatives related technical aspects improve quality of life. Another focus on this is how measure added value these population. The Brazilian Network and Human (RBCIH) was created order join both approaches Brazil, putting together members from academy, private initiative local (municipality) government. Nowadays, RBCIH composed by 350 (in a universe 5570 cities), indicating that long-term work be executed...
Spatial zooming graph attention networks (SZ-GAT) is an emerging framework to improve the quality of recommended places visualization on map. With advent location sharing social via mobile devices, geographic characteristics user's points interest (POIs) contain visit history, map check-in positions, places, and route plans. In context user-preferred POI prediction with SZ-GAT framework, we propose a for raster category exploration that uses tweet user history represent popularity units. We...
