ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT:   The low-carbon and intelligent city is the city combines the technology, digital information, low-carbon, and sustainable development together. In order to evaluate the status of low-carbon and intelligent city effectively, city governments need to develop an index system. However, most city governments lack the suitable index system of low-carbon and intelligent city. Therefore, this paper seeks to establish the appropriate index system of low-carbon and intelligent city by correlation analysis and factor analysis rating method, and evaluate the status of low-carbon and intelligent cities within the Taiwanese domain. According to the empirical results, there are five evaluative aspects of the low-carbon and intelligent city: (1) economic and intelligent technology, (2) consumption of energy and resource, (3) health and environmental conservation, (4) local development, and (5) social status. Based on the comprehensive performance of the low-carbon and intelligent city index system, Taipei City shows the best performance.
