Abstract

As a result of increased global concern about sustainability and climate change issues; developed Countries committed to finding techniques to conserve resources and achieve a balanced development. Achieving such goals requires more efficient and responsive urban management tools. Accustomed tools are ineffective to enabling cities to achieve such goals. Since 1990, global awareness has been directed towards using ICT in urban management. Creating a smart self-organizing system to manage and monitor cities' performance can accelerate improving economic competitiveness, sustainability, and quality of life. Egypt has an ambitious strategy: Egypt's 2030 vision for achieving sustainability and improving the quality of life. while current urban management systems cannot accomplish such tasks. Therefore, this paper aimed to develop a conceptual model for a GIS-based urban management tool that enabling Egyptian cities to achieve Egypt's vision 2030. To achieve this goal the researcher relied on: 1) Recognizing the city's self-organizing system and identifying the role of geographic information systems in managing the urban transformation process and monitoring the city's performance; 2) Evaluating the capability of key performance indicators that were developed to measure the achievement of Egypt's 2030 vision. To achieve the first goal, a systematic literature review was conducted; while to achieve the second goal, KPIs of Egypt's 2030 vision were assessed with using strategic objectives/KPIs matrix as well as using comparative analysis with international evaluating systems. The contribution of this paper is twofold: 1 - Theoretical contribution that built the bridge between the theory of self-organizing system and the management of cities; 2- Practical contribution represented by: a) the conceptual model, which helps in understanding the components of the smart system for monitoring and evaluating the performance of cities, and the relationship between them; and b) The evolved list of KPIs that track the city's performance in the six domains of city (economy, environment, mobility, living, community, and governance), to ensure achieving desired goals of Egypt's 2030 vision.
نتيجة للقلق العالمي المتزايد بشأن قضايا الاستدامة وتغير المناخ؛ تعهدت الدول بإيجاد وسائل للحفاظ على الموارد واحداث توازن بين مجالات التنمية. وذلك يتطلب إدارة حضرية أكثر كفاءة وأسرع استجابةً فأدوات الإدارة الحضرية التقليدية قاصرة ولا تستطيع تمكين المدن من تحقيق تلك الأهداف بالكفاءة المطلوبة. ومنذ 1990 توجه الاهتمام العالمي نحو التقنيات وتكنولوجيا المعلومات لاستخدامها كعامل محفز للتنافسية الاقتصادية والاستدامة وجودة الحياة.؛ وذلك من خلال تكوين نظام ذكي ذاتي التنظيم لإدارة ومراقبة أداء المدينة. وعلى الرغم من قيام الدولة المصرية بإعداد استراتيجية طموحة: رؤية مصر 2030 لتحقيق الاستدامة وتحسين جودة الحياة. إلا أن نظم إدارة ومراقبة المدن الحالية لا تستطيع انجاز تلك المهمة. لذلك يهدف البحث إلى تطوير نموذج تصوري لأداة مبنية على نظم المعلومات الجغرافية لتقويم أداء المدن وتمكينها وتتبع تقدمها نحو أهداف التنمية المستدامة -لتحقيق رؤية مصر 2030. لتحقيق هذا الهدف يعتمد البحث على: 1) فهم نظام الادارة الذاتية للمدينة والتعرف على دور نظم المعلومات الجغرافية في إدارة عملية التحول الحضري ومراقبة اداء المدينة؛ 2) تقييم مدى كفاية مؤشرات قياس الأداء التي تم وضعها لرصد تحقيق أهداف استراتيجية التنمية المستدامة: مصر 2030. ولتحقيق الهدف الأول تم استخدام منهجية المراجعة المنهجية للأدبيات والأبحاث العلمية المحكمة، بينما تم مراجعة الأهداف مع المؤشرات والمقارنة المرجعية لتحقيق الهدف الثاني. وتتمثل المساهمة العلمية لهذه الورقة في شقين: 1- الشق النظري والذي يعد جسر للربط بين نظرية التنظيم الذاتي ونظام إدارة وتقويم المدينة؛ 2- الشق العملي والمتمثل في النموذج التصوري والذي يساعد في فهم مكونات النظام الذكي لمراقبة وتقويم أداء المدن، والعلاقة بينها؛ كما تم رفع مستوى كفاية مؤشرات قياس الأثر لتتبع مؤشرات أداء المدينة في المجالات الست (الاقتصاد والبيئة والتنقل والمعيشة والمجتمع وادارة المدينة) مما يضمن تحقيق الأهداف المنشودة.
