Abstract

This research article aims to investigate the social processes and analyze the city enterprise architecture structure of Khon Kaen's smart city development. The research employs a qualitative, single-case study methodology, focusing on Khon Kaen Province. Data were collected through secondary sources and documentary research, which were subsequently analyzed using thematic and content analysis to construct a process model and evaluate the enterprise architecture of Khon Kaen’s smart city development. The findings indicate that the Khon Kaen Smart City development consists of four primary processes: (1) Feasibility study and development approach analysis; (2) Internal and external dialogues; (3) Establishment of smart city development mechanisms; and (4) Creation of concrete implementation pathways for smart city initiatives. Furthermore, the study identifies four principal layers of Khon Kaen's smart city enterprise architecture: the social ecology layer, the technical layer, the urban data and application layer, and the business layer or smart city business model.
