Abstract

ICT governance in smart cities refers to efficient ICT public investment to guide cities in the achievement of their strategic goals so that cities would be able to provide a better quality of life for citizens. Thus, ICT governance in smart cities comes to be a relevant domain of study to increase public value for the local community. Nevertheless, few studies focused on ICT governance in smart cities, especially in the Brazilian context, which evidenced a gap research in this domain. Empirical studies developed in Brazilian smart cities revealed lack of an ICT governance approach in the municipalities. Therefore, in this work, by applying a survey conducted with Brazilian professionals involved with smart city projects, governance, and information technology in the public sector, we introduce a set of challenges, lessons learned, and recommendations concerning ICT governance in smart city projects. The findings are of great importance for academics and practitioners involved with cities' public management concerning ICT-enabled governance.

探讨巴西智慧城市信息通信技术治理的挑战

智慧城市的信息通信技术治理是指有效的信息通信技术公共投资，以指导城市实现其战略目标，使城市能够为公民提供更高质量的生活。因此，智慧城市中的ICT治理成为一个相关的研究领域，以增加当地社区的公共价值。然而，很少有研究关注智慧城市中的ICT治理，特别是在巴西的背景下，这证明了该领域的差距研究。在巴西智慧城市开展的实证研究表明，市政当局缺乏信息通信技术治理方法。因此，在这项工作中，通过对参与智慧城市项目、治理和公共部门信息技术的巴西专业人士进行调查，我们介绍了一系列关于智慧城市项目中ICT治理的挑战、经验教训和建议。研究结果对从事信息通信技术支持的城市公共管理的学者和实践者具有重要意义。
