Sažetak
In developing smart city initiatives and applications, city managers face many issues, some of which are interoperability of the available platforms, lack of collaboration between city departments, policy changes, qualifications and willingness of decision-makers and similar. A recent study by the author of this paper identified the most critical challenges for the implementation of smart city initiatives in Croatia based on the feedback of more than 60 experts and respondents that had a keen interest in smart cities. As a follow-up, a workshop with domain experts was conducted to inspect the main implementation challenges in more detail and compare and assess the appropriateness of internationally recognised smart city barriers in a given context. With the purpose to establish a hierarchy structure that illustrates the interrelationships among the main barriers, an Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) tool was used to interpret data collected from domain experts. The results could be useful for smart city solution providers and policymakers to understand the impact of forces on the smart city implementation projects, resulting in better decisions and more targeted policies.
