Quantifying the Dynamic Effects of Smart City Development Enablers Using Structural Equation Modeling

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively investigate the dynamic effects of smart city development activists using the structural equation model. This research is a part of applied research in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of implementation method. The statistical population of this study included 120 experts, specialists and elites in the field of urban planning and urban management. Due to the limited number of statistical population, all 120 people were selected by census. The data collection tool for measuring the research variables was a questionnaire taken from the study of Nicholas et al. (2019). The validity of the variables was calculated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.86. ¬The content validity of the questionnaire was approved by expert professors. For statistical analysis, factor analysis method was used using SPSS software version 19 and structural model method was used using PLS software. The results showed that the dynamic effects of smart city development activists have been confirmed using a structural equation model.
