Abstract Explanations for collective action focus on both institutions and narratives. On the one hand, institutional approaches emphasize role of rules that guide human behavior. other accounting narratives through which policy actors make sense their actions helps in understanding strategic However, applying narrative perspectives together is daunting, part because there has not been a common way to integrate two approaches. In this article, we draw from Actor‐Network Theory (ANT) elaborate novel analytical approach combines ANT with Institutional Grammar Tool (IGT) Narrative Policy Framework (NPF). We use IGT's NPF's categories processual perspective examine how policy‐makers strategically create stabilize network innovation processes. illustrate our an in‐depth analysis development smart city.

The conflict between economic development and environmental degradation has significantly impeded urban development. Currently, the Chinese government is actively promoting comprehensive transformation of new-type urbanization. This study measured quality urbanization its degree coupling coordination in 16 cities Anhui Province from 2010 to 2020, utilizing 32 indicators across six dimensions: (ED), infrastructure (INF), population (PD), social (SD), protection (EP) urban–rural integration (URI). Additionally, a novel method sequential relationship analysis, oriented towards “interaction–change” was introduced calculate indicator weights, which take interactive among various indices dependencies neighboring into account. results indicate that imbalanced due low resource matching. However, there positive trend Furthermore, although most fluctuates at different scales, it still necessary narrow optimize gap subsystems. For one thing, above achievements may provide reference for breaking through traditional static weighting theoretical level. another, can also decision-makers with valuable insights establish an intercity complementary management system, so as achieve sustainable entire region.

A Smart tourism city (STC) is a smart that includes in its strategy, concurrently enhancing the quality of tourist's experience, life for residents and mitigating urban challenges. Although literature shows STC applications benefits, there lack studies analysing assessing managerial organisational barriers to development different levels development. Thus, we address this gap by conducting best-worst method with 40 experts. The allows identifying ranking various development, i.e. early late cycles, based on area cycle model. consequent rankings are eventually compared. results show seven have cycles most important barrier clear strategy both In contrast, least infrastructure standards cycle.
