Abstract
Smart people are very important to our future because only humans can utilize technology and improve economic and political efficiency, and play a role in social, cultural and urban progress. However, low moral intelligence, low skilled manpower and conflicts between multi-ethnic are major problems that often lead to social issues. The objectives of the study were to identify smart people concept for a smart city and examine the elements of smart people in Pengerang. The study was conducted using a mixed-method. The data were collected using questionnaires, document reviews and observations. The results showed that the agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, extraversion and experience to openness elements recorded mean score at a high level. Besides that, the element of agreeableness recorded as the highest average mean score with 3.78 rather than the other four elements, conscientiousness, extraversion, emotional stability and experience to openness. The implications of this study show that the local authorities and government need to draw the strategies and policies for build-up smart people in order to develop and promote a smart city in Malaysia.
