Research On Influencing Factors Of Smart City Construction Effect In China Based On Qualitative Comparative Analysis

Since the promotion of the new urbanization strategy,the level of urbanization in China has gradually improved.Meanwhile,the number of urban population and the density of urban population continue to rise.Urban problems and people's higher requirements for urban life have become increasingly prominent,and urban governance continues to require innovation.As a huge carrier of modern information technology,the development of smart city promotes the popularization of Internet of things and big data,and also brings citizens a sense of real life in the era of big data.Therefore,smart city will become a direction for all parts of China under the strong promotion of national policies.At the same time,further research on smart city construction and development is also needed.From the existing research,the structure,path and mode of urban governance have been discussed form the theoretical level.But it is still difficult to answer the micro path in smart city construction.At the practical level,scholars have studied the mode,subject and experience of smart city development.But they ignored the diversity and complexity of smart city construction from the overall and specific perspective.Therefore,it is the key point of this paper to describe the influencing factors and configuration paths of the construction effect of smart cities in China.Based on the theory of urban governance,this paper constructs the basic understanding of smart city and its construction.Meanwhile this article provides the basis for the research object and constructs the analysis perspective of the full paper based on configuration theory and combs the influencing factors of smart city construction with the theory of policy innovation diffusion.Then this paper constructs the motivation model of smart city construction effect.36 cities,including municipalities,separate cities,sub-provincial cities and provincial capitals(excluding sub provincial cities and Taipei City)are selected as sample cities.Five condition variables affecting the construction effect of smart cities are selected,including higher-level pressure,financial support,political support,scientific research manpower and informatization foundation.The response evaluation score is used as the outcome variable.On the basis of data collection,using fsqca3.0 software for qualitative comparative analysis,this paper researches how the combination of different factors and conditions in the development process of sample cities affects and drives the construction of smart cities.The results show that,first of all,the construction of smart city keeps innovating,and gradually changes to the new smart city.At the same time,the construction effect of smart city is affected by multiple factors.Secondly,based on the method of qualitative comparative analysis,this paper analyzes the positive and negative aspects of the construction effect of smart city.The positive analysis includes five kinds of results,seven paths in total,and the reverse analysis includes five kinds of results,six effective paths in total.There is asymmetric relationship between the two kinds of analysis.Thirdly,there are some differences between the related policies and implementation paths of smart city construction of typical sample cities.Most of the related policies of smart city construction of sample cities show similar characteristics.The paths of high and Not high efficiency of smart cities are different from sample cities,but some of them have the same path.There are single path and multiple paths for a single city to choice.The content of policy planning is not consistent with the effect of smart city construction.Based on this,this paper puts forward the development direction of smart city construction from the macro,meso and micro levels.At the macro level,it is necessary to effectively grasp the development requirements of smart city construction;at the meso level,it is necessary to effectively choose the specific path of smart city construction,including the infrastructure-based path,the practical promotion path and the innovation guarantee path;at the micro level,it is necessary to effectively implement the smart city Construction innovation guarantee.This article provides possible suggestions for the next policy planning and specific implementation of smart cities.
