技术—社会协同视角下的智慧城市“地方嵌入”研究——以广州电子政务平台为例

智慧城市“地方嵌入”研究关注技术研发与城市建设的社会共建过程与地方性驱动机制，已成为国际城市地理学的一个前沿问题，然而目前仍缺少采用社会—技术协同的动态视角的考察。针对当前中国探索符合地方现实需求的智慧城市建设模式与发展路径的迫切需要，以及国际城市地理学在智慧城市“地方化驱动机制”的研究局限，项目采用社会—技术协同演进视角，并借助行动者网络分析方法，以广州电子政务平台建设与应用生态系统开发为例，通过深度访谈、参与式观察、话语与文本分析等手段，对围绕信息通信技术研发的行动者关系互动机制展开调查，以揭示智慧城市如何嵌入在宏观政治经济背景与地方发展语境中，在以ICT技术为核心的社会关系互动中逐渐发生转型。通过整合智慧城市的地方嵌入理论与案例研究，力图阐明影响智慧城市建设的地方性互动机制及驱动因素，为探索符合地方发展实情，兼顾“包容、效率和创新”的智慧城市合作发展路径提供一定的理论启示。

Local embeddness is at the forefront of global smart city research. However, how and which method to use to study this problem is still in preliminary exploration. Facing the limitations of the theory and methods of smart city research and the urgent need to build an inclusive, innovative and sustainable smart city sample in China, this project will take the Guangzhou Smart City project as an example and examine the localized mechanism of smart city transformation, problems and risks, and feasible control measures. The project will use in-depth interviews, participatory observations and discourse analysis to investigate the complex interaction mechanism of multi-party actors with different goals, motivations and action logic in building smart cities. In specifically, the project will ask 1) how actors compete, negotiate and cooperate with each other around ICT technology upgrading, infrastructure development and digital platform operation; and 2) how cities as living laboratories are gradually towards “smart” through complex power relations interaction and in the rapidly changing external environment (i.e. macro-structuralist context and localized socio-material realities). Research on Chinese cases will help enrich the social construction theory and local embeddness theory of smart cities. Besides, a study of the localized driving mechanism of smart city transformation can provide certain theoretical and policy implications for exploring the sustainable and socially-inclusive development of smart cities with Chinese characteristics.
