摘要

在过去的十年中,欧盟推动了智慧城市倡议(SCIs)的使用,作为提高公民生活质量(QoL)的手段。本文考察了公共领域中报道欧洲此类举措的文献是否包含验证sci与生活质量之间假定的因果关系的经验证据。研究的主要问题是:在公共领域,是否有证据表明欧洲的“智慧城市”倡议改善了公民的生活质量?我们进行了一项广泛的文献综述,以发现那些记录这些举措的人是否报告了成功——就实现他们自己设定的目标/利益而言。从Web of Science, Scopus和Google Scholar中选择的关键文献进行了严格的检查,以确定当前公共领域的证据表明SC倡议能够改善公民的生活质量。这项审查产生了35篇与“生活质量”作为智慧城市倡议目标相关的非重复出版物——正如它们的标题所示。这些文章使用五个术语进行检索:目的、益处、结果、因果关系和证据。有七篇论文的全文可供查阅,然后对它们进行了详细的内容分析。研究结果表明,处理这种因果关系的公开证据很少。现有的文献在预先宣传sci的必要性方面做得很好,但在实际实施方面做得很差。就像质量质量本身在供应链倡议中的意义一样,在这方面提供的“好处”并没有被解开。因此,尽管有十年的历史,欧洲可持续发展倡议的表现和结果仍然知之甚少。这部分是由于缺乏关于这些问题的公开证据,再加上为这些倡议所采用的研究设计不充分,特别是对其执行情况的报告或对其在实践中取得的成果的评价给予的注意不够。在SC计划之前和之后对生活质量的实证测量的解开对于纠正这一点至关重要。

Have European ‘smart city’ initiatives improved the quality of their citizens’ lives: searching for the evidence
Over the last decade, the EU has promoted the use of Smart City initiatives (SCIs) as means of - amongst other goals - improving citizens’ quality of life (QoL). This paper examines whether literature in the public domain, reporting such initiatives in Europe, contains empirical evidence validating the causal relationship posited between SCIs and QoL. The main question explored is: Is there evidence in the public domain that European ‘smart city’ initiatives have improved the quality of their citizens’ lives? A broadly based literature review was undertaken to discover whether those chronicling such initiatives report success – in terms of achieving the objectives/benefits they set themselves. Key literature selected from the Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar was critically examined to establish what current, public domain evidence suggests about the ability of SC initiatives to improve the quality of citizens’ lives. This review yielded 35 non-duplicated publications related to ‘quality of life’ as a goal of smart city initiatives – as signposted by their titles. These articles were searched using five terms: objectives, benefits, outcomes, causal relationships and evidence. Seven papers, for which full texts were available, were then subjected to detailed content analyses. The findings show that published evidence dealing with this causal relationship is scant. Existing literature is strong on upfront promotion of the need for SCIs but weak on what they have delivered on the ground. Like the meaning of QoL itself in SC initiatives, the ‘benefits’ delivered on this front are not unpacked. As a result, despite their decade long history, the performance of, and outcomes from, European SC initiatives remain poorly understood. This is partly owing to the dearth of published evidence about these issues, compounded by the inadequate research designs adopted for such initiatives, especially by the insufficient attention given to reporting on their implementation or to evaluations of what they have achieved in practice. Disentanglement of empirical measurement of QoL before and after SC initiatives will be crucial for rectifying this.
