“…Consultation enables citizens to achieve dominant decision-making power [49,52,69,93,109,112,121,122,124,125,127,130] Through consultation, we managed to reach the final word (decision) in smart city programs.

Despite the rhetoric of “citizen-first,” which has been tokenized in recent years by the smart city administrations, what it means has long been unclear to many, including the public at large. Put simply, this rhetoric concerns the mindset of the members of a local community and places them at the heart of the smart city initiatives. In order to bring further clarity to this issue under the current neoliberal urbanism, this study aimed to identify the key indicators of citizen-centric smart cities from the perspective of participative governance practices and citizens’ responsibilities. To achieve this aim, this study involved a systematic literature review of the social inclusion indicators for building citizen-centric smart cities. The social inclusion indicators that were formed were verified by practitioners to suit the local contexts of an emerging and developing country, in this case, Malaysia. The findings of the review revealed that: (a) the acceptance of social inclusion indicators was mainly limited to the realm of democratic developed countries, leaders’ understanding of citizenship, the delegation of decision-making power in governance practices, the participative culture of societies, and individual citizens’ self-discipline; (b) the social inclusion indicators may not be welcomed in emerging and developing countries; (c) in the long term, these indicators would shed light on the rise of self-organizing cities that will gain popularity in potential city developments, be it in developed or developing countries.

“…This implies that efficient services can be achieve through ICT and the state government can empower their civil servant to improve their service delivery. Furthermore, [22] asserted that besides gaining efficiency in public service delivery through ICT, there is also evidence that demonstrate the potential of IVT in empowering the poor. The use of the technology in managing government ministries and department will not only improve service delivery in the state but also help the state in commanding the attention of the country because of the progress they are making to develop their economies, from parasite to self-reliant and technologically advanced state.…”

Rapid development in information and communication technology (ICT) has basically transformed the process and procedure of almost all forms of endeavour within health, education, business, governance, and civil service. Despite the devastating impact of Covid-19 pandemic on world economy, schools closure, businesses, and social activity, the information and communication technology has enhanced economic growth, generated business opportunities and employment, provided effective productivity and enhanced social and government services during the pandemic. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the implementation of ICT framework in Jigawa State. The study employed qualitative case study, where a sample of 20 staff were purposely selected to participate in the study. The findings of the study revealed that the state government has adequately provided physical infrastructural development for the take up of Galaxy Backbone. The government payroll and integrated financial management information system was fully computerized. Surprisingly, the assessment showed that no single amount of money was generated through ICT in the state, and that their target of becoming regional hub for software development and hardware assembling were not achieved. Based on the above findings, recommendations were put forward to the state government that the implementation of ICT framework in the state should be reviewed in order to meet the set target and a trained and professional ICT expert should be employed in the agency to guide the implementation and achievement of the set target.

“…Instead, scholars use terms ubiquitously, with e-government and e-governance evoking myriad aspects of the electronic medium (Von Haldenwang, 2004;Saxena, 2005;Hassan et al, 2011). At times, e-government stands for all online public sector offerings (Brown, 2007;Kim, 2007;Kudo, 2008;Lindblad-Gidlund, 2008), while elsewhere e-governance is an encapsulating reference that envelops citizen participation (Zambrano, 2008;Chen et al, 2009;Das et al, 2009). Still, other authors treat the terms interchangeably (Finger & Pécoud, 2003;Wong, et al, 2007).…”

By examining evaluations of worldwide city and country Websites from 2003 to 2012, this study compares their digitized government performance. Defined as dual variables, digitized government represents e-government services and e-governance collaboration. For each jurisdiction, this time-series assessment determines whether the innovation is developing linearly (in stages) or diffusing (leveling off) over time. The results are bifurcated. They convey that diffusion is occurring among worldwide municipal government Websites for both e-government and e-governance. The country findings, however, are inconsistent. The discussion explains the findings by applying a well-known four-fold typology of information technology (IT) and social change to them. The conclusions affirm digitized government's multidimensional qualities.
