| Title | An integrated QFD framework for smart city strategy development |
| Year | 2024 |
| Published | |
| Abstract | PurposeIn this study, the deployment of an integrated Quality Function Deployment (QFD) decision framework is presented to help cities design targeted strategies to become "smart". Arguably smart cities leverage advanced technologies to enhance their smartness to improve everyday urban life. To this end, a QFD - Analytic Hierarchy Process - Analytic Network Process (QFD-AHP-ANP) framework is proposed to deliver guidance for selecting the appropriate mix of smart technologies based on the specific smart needs of each city.Design/methodology/approachThe AHP and ANP methods are incorporated into QFD to enhance its methodological robustness in formulating the decision problem. AHP accurately captures and translates the "Voice of the Experts" into prioritized "Smart City" dimensions, while establishing inter-relationships between these dimensions and "Smart City Technologies". Meanwhile, ANP explores tradeoffs among the technologies, enabling well-informed decisions. The framework's effectiveness is evaluated through an illustrative application in the city of Thessaloniki.FindingsApplying the framework to this real-world context confirms its practicality and utility, demonstrating its ability to particularize local, social, political, environmental and economic trends through the resulting mix of technologies in smart urban development strategies.Originality/valueThe importance of this study lies in several aspects. Firstly, it introduces a novel QFD decision framework tailored for smart city strategic planning. Secondly, it contributes to the operationalization of the smart city concept by providing guidance for cities to effectively adopt smart technologies. Finally, this study represents a new field of application for QFD, expanding its scope beyond its traditional domains. |
