To determine the validity of the questionnaire the content validity was used which was obtained through the views of teachers and specialists after several steps of revision. To identify the reliability of the questionnaire a pretest (30 questionnaires) was administered in Abkesh Village, of Bushehr, Iran. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was obtained (0.864-0.610) showing the validity of the questionnaire. The results showed that mean total economic for the registered villages was 1.57 (SD = 0.367) and for the non-registered villages was 1.51 (SD = 1.82). These figures indicated a very poor economic situation of registered villagers compared to non-registered members before implementing the plan. The total socio-cultural mean for the registered villagers was 2.122 (SD = 0.609) and for the nonregistered members was 2.578(SD = 0.673).

Impact of Smart City Planning and Construction on Economic and Social Benefits Based on Big Data Analysis

“…In the opinion of some scholars, we can find that the nodes of the network are very important to a network system.

Only in this way can the degree of interaction of city information be greatly improved, and this move can also effectively increase the value of members in the information network, so that the development speed of the smart city will be greatly improved, because the quality level of network information directly determines the development of the current smart city and provides the development of the smart city, scientific guidance, and motivation.…”

Samian et al (2017) argumentam que a influência das cooperativas não está relacionada apenas às estruturas institucionais próprias, mas também às instituições econômicas que podem criar conexões profundas e impactar nas relações humanas e sociais. Estudos no âmbito nacional e internacional já buscaram investigar o impacto das cooperativas de crédito na economia, no desenvolvimento regional e no desenvolvimento de setores.…”
