Semantic Fusion with Deep Learning and Formal Ontologies for Evaluation of Policies and Initiatives in the Smart City Domain

Abstract

Decision makers and policy analysts at different administrative levels often lack a holistic view of the problem as there are semantic variations in policy documents due to domain-specific content. For example, smart city initiatives are derived from national and international initiatives which may influence the incentives for local participants, but local initiatives reflect the local contextual elements of the city. Balanced assessment of smart city initiatives should include a systemic evaluation of the initiatives at multiple levels including the city, the country in which the city resides as well as at international level. In this paper, a knowledge elicitation methodology is presented for multi-granularity evaluation of policies and initiatives. The methodology is demonstrated on the evaluation of smart city initiatives generated at different administrative levels. Semantic networks are constructed using formal ontologies and deep learning methods for automatic semantic evaluation of initiatives to abstract knowledge found in text. Three smart city initiatives published by different administrative levels including international, national, and city level are evaluated in terms of relevance, coherence, and alignment of multi-level smart city initiatives. Experiments and analysis ultimately provide a holistic view of the problem which is necessary for decision makers and policy analysts of smart cities.

Analisis Pengembangan Wisata Urban di Kota Bontang dalam Perspektif Komunikasi Strategis

“…Smart branding merupakan elemen dari visi pembangunan smart city Kota Bontang yang diarahkan kepada penguasaan teknologi dalam pengembangan sumber daya yang dimiliki (Pemkot Bontang, 2019). Untuk mewujudkan smart city, organisasi perlu menciptakan peraturan untuk membangun hubungan yang selaras, tersinergi dan terpantau antara level administratif atas dan bawah dalam organisasi, antar pemangku kepentingan internal dan eksternal, serta pihak-pihak lain yang mungkin terkena dampak pengembangan smart city (Kilicay-Ergin & Barb, 2021). Dalam hal Kota Bontang ingin mewujudkan kota berkelanjutan berbasis smart city melalui sektor pariwisata, maka Pemerintah Kota Bontang sebagai komunikator utama perlu mengembangkan perencanaan komunikasi strategisnya.…”
