Testing an Integrative Model of Activisms in the Digital Age Social Media on Contentious Issues in Smart City

Presently, an increase in the advent of digital age social networking activities leads to contentious issues, and social media is a strategic way of conducting activities in smart cities. This research aims to create an Integrative Political Structural Framework (IPSF) to analyze how people are engaged in contentious issues in a networked society of smart cities. The study focuses particular attention on the Contextual Concept of Problem-Solving (CCoPS), aggressive communication experience, emotional injustice, and the effectiveness of social networking to investigate the future of social media activism and offline activism in smart cities. Hence, an integrative political model is used to address the three areas, such as weapons possession, expatriation, and the usage of defense power in smart cities. The integrative activism framework gives a valuable perspective for understanding engaged communities and provides a framework for more theoretical conversations on activities and dispute resolution in smart cities. The validation of the suggested IPSF model through empirical means was done with the help of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), which illustrated the combined effect of the communication, emotions, and digital platform factors on the activism behaviors.
