The Novel Paradigm of Economics Driven for Local Smart Sustain Cities Modeling Using Exploratory Factor Analysis and Planning Technique Using Fuzzy Evaluation Decision Making
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The article is well structured.
It probably deserved the addition of a theoretical point between the introduction and the theoretical review (with the matrix it presents).
The quality of the graphics and images displayed could be improved. However, the article makes a fantastic contribution to science and the sustainability of cities.

Reviewer 2 Report
The introduction section (1) should introduce the rest of the paper in order to be clear what will be explained.
The main aims of the paper should be clarified in the beginning of the text.
In general terms, figures/tables would be discussed in the text to extract some conclusions.
Figure 15 cannot be read.

Reviewer 3 Report
All in all, an interessting and sucessfull article about a research gap in the field of Smart Cities, with an appropriate methodological approach to fill it. Especially, the consideration of the factor „local context“ is very usable for further application of a theroretical concept.
There is, however, room for improvement:
The promise of creating a Smart City model that is unique in sustainability is not really being kept. By referring to the shared core driver "economics", a connection between Smart City and sustainability concepts is indicatet but the idea is not pursued in depth further, especially in the visualization of the LSSCM.The qualitative part of the research method is not described sufficiently and reflected. No conclusions can be drawn about the quality criteria of empirical research.
The discussion of the results does not go beyond a mere description. For example, a few thoughts on how this paper is of use for planners and decisions makers would round off the whole thing nicely. It would also be useful to have an outlook on future research needs based on the findings.
