At this stage, by fuzzy Delphi method, the indicators related to the identified factors were also identified. In the next step, using the structural equations and Smart PLS software, the effect of research factors on the main component of research (success of services in smart cities based on information and communication technology) was evaluated. The results show that all factors have a significant and positive impact on the success of services in smart cities and government actions to create a smart city have the greatest impact on the success of services in smart cities based on information and communication technology.
