Abstract
This article aims to develop a belief-based intelligent urban development model using qualitative research. Data was collected through participant observation and a survey of cultural objects from eight sacred sites in the Phitsanulok urban area, with analysis employing grounded theory. The study found a relationship between urban development policies and strategies, the belief in fleeting luck, and the elements of sacred spaces. The results established a framework for Intelligent Smart City development based on four policy pillars, with the key objective of utilizing cultural dimensions and beliefs to develop smart citizens and drive comprehensive, sustainable urban growth. These pillars include: 1) Heroism Re-Orientation and Value Definition, 2) Human Capital and Self-Efficacy Enhancement, 3) Cultural Digitalization and Knowledge Flows, and 4) Sustainable Cultural Resource Management. A critical policy recommendation is to define development strategies that place greater emphasis on Everyday Heroes to elevate personal value definition, encourage mortality reflection, inspire altruistic acts beyond normal expectations, foster a positive self-attitude and belief in self-control, and develop technology systems to enhance the future skills needed to create a lifelong learning city.
