Special Issue "Smart Governance for Smart Cities, Rural Areas or Regions and Sustainable Development" Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2021 20:41:42 +0100 From: Manuel Pedro Rodríguez Bolívar manuelp@ugr.es To: AISWorld@lists.aisnet.org

Dear Colleagues,

Some societies have difficulties achieving sustainable development. In this context, a transition to future sustainable cities necessarily involves the implementation of Information and Communication Technologies. Digital technologies should serve people and improve public services, especially in the governance and management of cities, rural areas, and regions.

One of the main outcomes of smart governance should be to assist societies in developing effective government and to implement sustainable development principles.

Therefore, we invite papers that analyze the link between smart governance systems implemented in cities, rural areas or regions, and their sustainability. In any case, this Special Issue will put its attention on empirical papers, including case studies, comparative case studies (that involve different countries, disciplines, or sustainability challenges), and surveys. Finally, empirical studies about smart governance in vertical or horizontal integrations of public organizations for achieving sustainable development goals will be welcome.

In brief, I encourage you to contribute a research article for consideration for publication in this special issue to be published in Sustainability (JCR listed journal), an international Open Access journal which provides an advanced forum for research findings in areas related to sustainability and sustainable development.
