Description
Summary:Intellectual capital plays a central role in smart cities. The aim of this paper is to apply the recently developed model based on intellectual capital to measure and manage cities' competitiveness. This model is applied to cities in Castilla-La Mancha and another 19 Spanish cities, enabling a comparative analysis between these cities. To this end, the study presents a synthetic indicator that allows us to rank Spanish cities based on available information and propose a comprehensive management strategy that addresses both tangible and intangible competitiveness. From the results, it can be concluded that the cities of Castilla-La Mancha feature excellent human capacities and a good quality of life but that there is room for improvement in terms of city infrastructure and planning. Keywords: smart city, knowledge city, intellectual capital, index, intangible, model, competitiveness Intelektualni kapital ima sredisnju ulogu u pametnim gradovima. Cilj je ovoga rada primijeniti nedavno razvijeni model utemeljen na intelektualnom kapitalu u mjerenju konkurentnosti gradova i u upravljanju njihovim materijalnim i nematerijalnim bogatstvom. Model je primijenjen u gradovima pokrajine Castilla-La Mancha i u jos 19 spanjolskih gradova, omogucujuci njihovu usporednu analizu. U tom smislu studija je sinteticki pokazatelj koji omogucuje rangiranje spanjolskih gradova na temelju dostupnih podataka i predlaze sveobuhvatnu strategiju upravljanja njihovim materijalnim i nematerijalnim bogatstvima. Iz rezultata se moze zakljuciti da gradovi pokrajine Castilla-La Mancha imaju izvrsne ljudske resurse i dobru kvalitetu zivota, ali da postoji prostor za poboljsanja u pogledu gradske infrastrukture i planiranja.
