In the following, by rereading all the measures, activities related to smartness were identified and categorized based on the six dimensions of the smart city. The findings showed that a total of 16.2% of the actions of the council were related to the smart city, of which only 30.6% of the decisions were specific to the fifth period and the rest were the continuation of the activities of the previous periods. In the coding process, by identifying 98 open codes, 51 central codes and 16 selective codes, it was determined that the most attention was paid to smart life and the least to smart economy.
