| Abstract |
Smart city policies require local governments to develop capacities for planning, organizing, and implementing policies beyond individual projects. This study conceptualizes this capacity as Smart City Planning Capacity (SCPC), comprising Planning Capacity (PC), Organizational Capacity (OC), and Implementation Capacity (IC), and examines its level, composition, typology, and spatial distribution across 31 municipalities in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. Using seven indicators derived from publicly available data, the Smart City Planning Capacity Index (SCPCI) was constructed. The mean SCPCI was 52.7, with the mean scores for Planning, Organizational, and Implementation, Capacity were 61.3, 45.2, and 51.6, respectively. Seven capacity types were identified, and 20 municipalities (64.5%) showed all three dimensions. Higher SCPC levels were concentrated in the western coastal area, whereas parts of northern and eastern Gyeonggi showed relatively lower levels and capacity structures concentrated in fewer dimensions. These findings highlight the need to consider both the level and composition of local planning, organizational, and implementation capacities when implementing smart city policies. |
