Abstract

Smart cities are hubs of innovation and rapid development, where technology plays a significant role in shaping the urban environment. In such settings, the ability to adapt and think flexibly is crucial for individuals to thrive. The study’s goal is to understand which factors influence how well individuals are equipped with 21st-century skills and how they apply them in the dynamic context of modern urban living. Employing a quantitative research approach, data were initially collected from 600 Thai respondents through convenience sampling. A subsequent data-cleansing process refined the focus to 568 respondents, selected based on their high-score attainment. The study utilized percentages, means, and binary logistic regression in a comprehensive data analysis. Its key findings illuminate the influence of various factors, including score, age, career trajectory, and engagement with social media platforms like Instagram, LINE, and X, on skill development within the smart city context. This research offers a nuanced perspective on the myriad elements that foster individual and collective success in technologically advanced urban environments. It moves beyond mere acknowledgment of innate abilities or age-related wisdom, highlighting the critical roles of career advancement and digital engagement in skill enhancement. The implications of these findings are far reaching, especially for policymakers, educators, and industry leaders. They underscore the need for a comprehensive approach to shaping the future of urban living and working spaces, ensuring that individuals are not just equipped with the necessary skills but are also adept at applying them effectively in the smart cities of tomorrow. This study serves as a guide for these stakeholders, emphasizing the importance of fostering environments that support continuous learning, innovation, and adaptability in the face of technological advancements.

21 世纪的人员技能:新兴经济体中的智慧城市视角
智慧城市是创新和快速发展的中心,技术在塑造城市环境方面发挥着重要作用。在这样的环境中,适应和灵活思考的能力对个人的发展至关重要。本研究旨在了解哪些因素会影响个人掌握 21 世纪技能的程度,以及他们如何在现代城市生活的动态环境中应用这些技能。研究采用定量研究方法,最初通过便利抽样从 600 名泰国受访者中收集数据。随后的数据清理过程将重点细化为 568 名受访者,这些受访者是根据他们的高分成绩选出的。研究利用百分比、平均值和二元逻辑回归进行了全面的数据分析。研究的主要发现阐明了各种因素对智慧城市背景下技能发展的影响,包括分数、年龄、职业轨迹以及对 Instagram、LINE 和 X 等社交媒体平台的参与。这项研究提供了一个细致入微的视角,揭示了在技术先进的城市环境中促进个人和集体成功的各种因素。它超越了对与生俱来的能力或与年龄相关的智慧的单纯认可,强调了职业发展和数字参与在技能提升中的关键作用。这些发现影响深远,尤其是对政策制定者、教育者和行业领导者而言。他们强调,有必要采取综合方法来塑造未来的城市生活和工作空间,确保个人不仅具备必要的技能,而且能够在未来的智慧城市中有效地应用这些技能。本研究为这些利益相关者提供了指南,强调了在技术进步面前营造支持持续学习、创新和适应能力的环境的重要性。
