Urban Design for Health: Innovation for Sustainable Smart City After the Pandemic

While the present concept of a smart city mainly focuses on technology without considering health and sustainable development, the Coronavirus pandemic has reflected that health indeed affects the economy and society in all aspects even the leading smart cities with cutting-edge technologies were inevitably affected by the pandemic. Hence, the study on smart city core driving (SMCd) building after the pandemic with attention on health and sustainability is crucial. The purpose of this research is to present a new model of smart city highlighting health as a driver of development, integrating a health sustainability model suitable to the locality. The study used the Exploratory Factory Analysis (EFA) under the Factor Analysis (FA) method to find correlation among variables, which were explored and selected by Del-phi method (DM) conducted among multi-specialist fields while the model efficiency was conducted through the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) exploring correlation among variables from the cause-and-effect approach. The result shows that the statistical values are reliable, meeting all criteria with the CMIN/DF = 1.78, RMSEA = .04, GFI = .95, AGFI = .93, RMR = .06, NFI = .94, TLI = .97, CFI = .98, and IFI = .98 in compliance with well level. The analysis contributes to the findings of correlations among SMCd in each aspect that affects the smart city building model with consideration on health core driving.
