In the present study, the implementation process of a smart community pilot project in A Street, Pudong New Area, Shanghai is examined based on the framework of goal interdependence–resource dependent actor cooperation theory by using field investigations and case studies. Taking into account the three projects of intelligent group rent management, intelligent parking guidance and intelligent fire management, the micro-operation mechanism for the successful embedding of information technology into urban communities is investigated from the twin-perspective of goal interdependence and the resource dependence of the actors. It is found that: (1) The successful implementation of smart community projects funded via government investment is finally carried out through the interaction between active and passive cooperation. (2) In active cooperation, positive goal interdependence is the basis and determinant of cooperative behavior, while resource dependence plays a role in regulating and promoting the process of cooperation. The cooperative promotion strategies of core actors include interest induction and economic interest deterrence. (3) In passive cooperation, the interaction process practices a transition from conflict confrontation to compliance cooperation. The key of the cooperation transition is the resource dependence of each actor on the core actor. The conflict resolution strategy includes official sharing based on administrative authority, resource reciprocity, reciprocity and economic interest deterrence control, etc. In addition, the negative interdependence of the target drives the fragility of the cooperation. The gained insights suggest that the government actors should be good at utilizing the goal-positive dependence relationship and the resource-dependent relationship, pay attention to the construction of the goal-positive dependence relationship, and take the resource-dependent relationship as the key tool to promote cooperation in cooperative governance. |
