20.500.12556/DKUM-87846 A conceptual model for a circular city a case study of Maribor, Slovenia Cities play a crucial role in achieving sustainable development. Decision-makers require assistance in developing city transformation plans amidst the emergence of various city models. A content analysis using concept mapping was conducted to examine smart, circular, and green city models. The analysis, supported by Leximancer, revealed that city models are evolving by adopting benefcial solutions from competitors, refecting a strong focus on sustainable development. Additionally, twentyfour research areas essential for implementing a circular city were identifed and validated. Furthermore, a conceptual model for a circular city was developed, incorporating the Defne-Measure-Analyse-Improve-Control tool and a problem-solving system. Testing the model on Maribor highlighted challenges in monitoring the transition towards circularity. The study validates the established model but emphasises the need for further research and case studies to verify its practicality. This scientifc research enhances the understanding of city models and their evolution towards sustainability, providing valuable insights for decision-makers and urban planners. city models conceptual model content analysis problem-solving structure modeli mesta konceptualni model analiza vsebine struktura reševanja problemov true true true Springer Nature Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2024-03-29 09:40:14 2024-03-29 09:57:33 2024-05-27 14:07:06 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 45-65 Št. 1 Letn. 26 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2023-02-14 2023-07-09 2023-07-29 502.131.1(497.4Maribor) 162551299 10.1007/s10098-023-02579-z 1618-954X Brglez-2023-A_conceptual_model_for_a_circular.pdf Brglez-2023-A_conceptual_model_for_a_circular.pdf 1 DA02F70C30BA78997DB0DC198F62B4B2 9e1c60f20d3534f69726369e91b987254496704b2c253657875592ab5001cce6 475577ca-edaa-11ee-9759-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=177626 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10098-023-02579-z 0 5447cd6d-edaa-11ee-9759-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=177627 Fakulteta za naravoslovje in matematiko Fakulteta za logistiko 0 0 0
