| Abstract | This study constructs an analytical framework to assess the effectiveness of collaborative governance in smart communities, focusing on six key elements: collaborative subjects, funding sources, community participants’ literacy, community-specific systems, community culture, and supporting facilities. Using fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) on 20 typical cases of community governance, the study identifies that collaborative subjects and supporting facilities are necessary conditions for achieving effective community governance. Community culture and community participants’ literacy are recognized as sufficient conditions for effective collaborative governance involving multiple subjects in smart communities. The study also identifies several pathways to enhance the effectiveness of collaborative governance in smart communities, including the subject-–culture-embedded pathway, technology–resource-driven pathway, and system–talent-led pathway. These pathways highlight the integration of community-specific cultural elements and the leveraging of modern technologies to foster stakeholder engagement, enhance decision-making processes, and improve service delivery. The findings suggest that robust community culture and literacy, combined with advanced technological infrastructure and diverse funding sources, significantly contribute to the success of collaborative governance initiatives. By providing a comprehensive analysis of the interplay between these factors, the study offers valuable insights into the construction of smart communities and proposes strategies for enhancing the effectiveness of collaborative governance. This research contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable urban development and the knowledge economy, emphasizing the crucial role of innovation, technology, and community engagement in shaping the future of smart cities. © 2024 by the authors. |
