Abstract

This research examines the implementation of Smart City in Ambon City through six main dimensions: Smart Governance, Smart Branding, Smart Economy, Smart Living, Smart Society, and Smart Environment. The results show a strong synergy between the government, private sector, and community in creating an inclusive, sustainable, and technology-based city. Smart Governance improves transparency, accountability, and responsiveness through innovations such as ASN applications, One Map One Data systems, and omnichannel services. Smart Branding highlights local identity through City of Music and Ambon Extravaganza initiatives, which strengthen cultural and tourism appeal. Smart Economy encourages the digitization of economic services through a warehouse receipt system, cashless transactions, and the Ambon Access application to support MSMEs. Smart Living focuses on improving the quality of life through transportation infrastructure, wastewater management, and the development of health facilities and housing, according to sustainability principles. Smart Society prioritizes human resource development and literacy through IT training programs, the SIPBOS application, and library promotion, creating a knowledge-based society. This finding is supported by previous theories and research, such as Sustainable Development Theory (Brundtland, 1987), Digital Economy Theory (Tapscott, 1996), and Collaborative Governance Theory (Ansell & Gash, 2008), which emphasize the importance of collaboration across sectors and technologies in supporting smart city development.
