The survey of 20 experts working in the municipality was done. The results show that among the factors of urban good governance are as follow: accountability value 0.269, the legitimacy value 0.206, responsibility value 0.118, the effectiveness value 0.114, transparency value 0.093, participation value 0.073, conensusization value 0.064, and fairness value 0.059. The third for evaluating factors of good governance and their impact in smart cities created structural modeling. Cause of those 376 Questionnaires has been completed. The effect of each component in the creation of smart cities has been identified in LISREL software. T-Value test shows the internal latent variables (urban good governance) components meet the high direct effect exogenous latent variable (smart city). The other means significant numbers (t-value) are larger than 1.96. Theresults show very high impact urban good governance in the creation of smart cities.
