RESUMEN

The dataset was formulated through field research in the Greek Municipalities. The survey was undertaken with an online questionnaire (available in Greek) and the contact person was the Chief Digital Officer or a person with similar responsibilities. The final sample is 252 out of a total of 325 Municipalities. Each respondent had to answer to 26 questions, including sub-questions, of different types (1) 5-point Likert scale, (2) rating scale, (3) closed type "Yes/no", (4) open-ended and (5) dropdown, and, depending on them, there are 3 types of variables (1) ordinal, (2) nominal, and (3) scale variables. The concepts included in the questionnaire are a) the level of integration and use of digital technologies, b) the difficulties and the challenges municipality authorities face when trying to implement a smart strategy and c) the level of diverse collaborations and partnerships which are necessary in order to develop a strategy. The data can be used to analyse the strategic capabilities of the Greek Municipalities under the three concepts evaluated in the questionnaire. The data's primary beneficiaries include researchers, public authorities, digital platforms entrepreneurs, smart city specialists and smart city entrepreneurs, as they can use the dataset to develop models against already known results, to identify factors important in an urban strategy and to further study the correlations between the different factors, design and draft an urban strategy on real data.
