In this paper, we elaborate upon the potentials of the Large Language Model GPT as a tool to generate synthetic data for analytical purposes when there is no real-data available or accessible. Primarily, we show that by varying the scope of probes adequately, we can generate data of different granularities. To show this, we generated stereotypical data with three levels of granularity by posing more than 18,500 probes to GPT. In total, we generated stereotypical data for eight different views, which can be categorized in three view types corresponding to the three levels of granularity. Secondarily, we show that by varying the scope of probes one can create meaningful information. To show this, we performed a so-called similarity analysis on the generated stereotypical data. We used data visualizations, e.g. heatmaps, to show the views and categories within the views that are similar and those that are at odd with each other. We elaborate upon the application areas of the insight gained about such similarities and differences. Furthermore, we discuss several other types of analysis that can be performed on the generated stereotypical data.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48258,"journal":{"name":"Government Information Quarterly","volume":"42 1","pages":"Article 101988"},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143136134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we propose using the concept of intelligence defined by Herbert Simon for effective refugee management. Following the Design Science Research Methodology, we utilize 58 semi-structured stakeholder interviews within Switzerland to identify problems and define design goals that facilitate intelligence in refugee management. Based on the design goals, we developed R2G – “Refugees to Government”, an application that utilizes community data and state-of-the-art NLP, including a chatbot interface, to offer an interactive dashboard for identifying refugee needs. The chatbot allows policymakers to interact with refugee data through dynamic, conversational queries, enabling real-time identification of refugee needs and providing data-driven intelligence. Our assessment of R2G, facilitated through 28 semi-structured interviews, resulted in four design principles for data-driven intelligence in refugee management: community-driven insight, spatial-temporal knowledge, multilingual data synthesis and visualization, and interactive data querying through chatbots. Additionally, we provide policy recommendations emphasizing the ethical use of community data, the integration of advanced NLP techniques in government processes, and the need for shifting governmental roles towards data analytics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48258,"journal":{"name":"Government Information Quarterly","volume":"42 1","pages":"Article 101978"},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143136131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our analysis identifies four key pathways, revealing that while digital infrastructure positively influences smart city development directly, the indirect pathways incorporating OGD demonstrate stronger effects. OGD plays a pivotal role by significantly enhancing the digital economy and digital infrastructure, as well as directly contributing to smart city development. This research contributes to the smart city literature by moving beyond discussions of individual components to empirically test the relationships between these elements. By positioning OGD as a catalyst, we provide a nuanced understanding of the mechanisms through which data-driven initiatives empower smart city development. Our findings offer valuable insights into the multifaceted ways OGD serves as a driving force for urban innovation, challenging the traditional view of government data as a passive resource.

By applying this framework to typical scenarios in China, its actual effectiveness has been illustrated in preventing information leakage, protecting data privacy, and improving model security, providing more reliable and efficient solutions for government governance and public services.
