A Survey Of The Key Success Factors In Electronic City Implementation

Despite the enormous benefits of the electronic city, implementing it is considered a difficult and complex task. For this reason, many cities fail to successfully implement e-City. Therefore, a thorough and principled assessment of the factors affecting it is necessary. Regarding the implementation of Electronic City project in Iran and also in Khorasan Razavi province, this study was conducted to determine the factors affecting the successful establishment of Electronic City in Neyshabur. Therefore, a review of the literature on the subject, which examines the factors and challenges affecting the implementation of e-city, has been identified as the main effective factors. These factors include the political, social, technical (technological), organizational, and human capital areas of the Minister of Information Construction. For the purposes of the research, a quantitative and quantitative combination of questionnaires was used, which is one of the innovative aspects of this research. A questionnaire was designed and its validity and reliability were confirmed. The statistical population of this study is 120 staff members of Sabzevar urban organizations. In the next step, the extent of the factors associated with the implementation of E-City as well as possible challenges was determined using structural equation modeling using AMOS software. The results show that Neyshabur city is low readiness for implementation of e-city and needs more attention to influencing factors, especially information infrastructure factor. In this regard, spending sufficient funds on organizations to achieve the goals of E-City and accepting and understanding the importance of E-city implementation by the management of organizations is a priority.
