“…There are a plethora of potentially relevant frameworks, theories and conceptualizations related to citizen engagement, such as Arnstein’s ladder of citizen participation and the International Association for Public Participation (Iap2) models, among others [ 33 – 38 ]. However, for this study, we opted for the Multidimensional framework by Carman and colleagues.…”

Background Care for older adults is high on the global policy agenda. Active involvement of older adults and their informal caregivers in policy-making can lead to cost–effective health and long-term care interventions. Yet, approaches for their involvement in health policy development have yet to be extensively explored. This review maps the literature on strategies for older adults (65+ years) and informal caregivers’ involvement in health policy development. Method As part of the European Union TRANS-SENIOR program, a scoping review was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute’s methodology. Published and grey literature was searched, and eligible studies were screened. Data were extracted from included studies and analysed using the Multidimensional Framework for Patient and Family Engagement in Health and Healthcare. Results A total of 13 engagement strategies were identified from 11 publications meeting the inclusion criteria. They were categorized as “traditional”, “deliberative” and “others”, adopting the World Bank’s categorization of engagement methods. Older adults and informal caregivers are often consulted to elicit opinions and identify priorities. However, their involvement in policy formulation, implementation and evaluation is unclear from the available literature. Findings indicate that older adults and their informal caregivers do not often have equal influence and shared leadership in policy-making. Conclusion Although approaches for involving older adults and their informal caregivers’ involvement were synthesized from literature, we found next to no information about their involvement in policy formulation, implementation and evaluation. Findings will guide future research in addressing identified gaps and guide policy-makers in identifying and incorporating engagement strategies to support evidence-informed policy-making processes that can improve health outcomes for older adults/informal caregivers.

“…Proposed reflections are used to extend the conceptual pillars upon which the Cities Circular Economy (CCE) suggested by Caputo et al [17] is based, with the aim of highlighting main actions and plans through which policymakers, researchers, and practitioners can have the opportunity to capture and stimulate the multiple existing connections between digital technologies and sustainable development. In such a direction, we propose a conceptual framework that identifies and classifies six levels that can influence the ability of city management to engage citizens in sustainability paths thanks to the contributions provided by technology with the aim of supporting both policy makers and researchers to link sustainability and technology development in the domain of city management.…”

“…In such a direction, Caputo et al [17] hypothesized that the digital and green dimensions can be merged to build a relevant theoretical model that would assist policy makers, researchers, and practitioners in driving the engagement of actors in sustainability-based pathways inside strongly interrelated domains and proposed and applied the conceptual model named Cities Circular Economy (CCE) in the context of a smart city because of the large amount of relationships it relies on, the manifold stakeholders' perspectives by which it is governed, and the central role that citizens' engagement plays in influencing its functioning and existence through time. The concept of the Cities Circular Economy (CCE) was designed to represent the layers in which sustainability pathways are promoted in each type of ecosystem on the basis of the relationships between different and divergent outlooks.…”

Recognizing the interdisciplinary debate about the digital devices and infrastructure needed to support the emergence and viability of smart cities, the latter can be considered one of the most challenging topics within recent decades due to its relevant role in supporting and enhancing citizens’ participation in public management. Using a deductive approach, in this paper, we propose a sustainability-based conceptual framework to support both policymakers and managers in better understanding at which level to act to improve citizens’ engagement as a way to ensure sustainable development in smart cities. The purpose of this paper is to explore how citizens’ involvement in smart cities can be steered toward positive attitudes and behaviors within the context of sustainable development. Drawing on a managerial perspective, we aim to provide preliminary reflections about the key role that digital technologies on which smart cities are based can play in promoting effective sustainable development for all.

PurposeThis paper explores the intricate evolution of human–machine interaction within the framework of Society 5.0, highlighting how technological advancements influence human behavior and societal progress.Design/methodology/approachA multidimensional framework is developed through a qualitative approach to analyze the evolution of human–technology interaction. This innovative conceptual model provides a comprehensive understanding of these dynamics.FindingsThe proposed model unveils a significant shift from perceiving technology as a mere tool to acknowledging its profound influence on daily routines and potential enhancements. This revelation underscores the critical role of human-centric strategies, enlightening us about the evolving nature of technology.Research limitations/implicationsThe study synthesizes existing research to present a comprehensive framework for understanding human–machine interaction, providing insights that can inform future research and theory development.Practical implicationsThis study equips policymakers, researchers and practitioners with actionable strategies to enhance technology use. By incorporating human-centric approaches, addressing issues such as technostress and promoting effective digital knowledge management, this research empowers the audience with practical solutions.Social implicationsThe paper underscores the broader impact of technology on societal progress. It emphasizes the importance of incorporating human-centric strategies in technology implementation to promote fairness, inclusivity and overall societal well-being.Originality/valueThis paper introduces an innovative conceptual model based on a multidimensional framework to analyze the complex evolution of human–technology interaction. It enriches the ongoing debate by highlighting the nuanced relationship between humans and technology, addressing significant gaps in existing literature and offering an original interpretative perspective.
