Abstract :
Despite the focus on smart management systems in the water and wastewater sector of Iran, little attention has been paid to the operational objectives and the prerequisites of their implementation. Furthermore, despite the huge investments made, the neglect of this issue has undermined their effectiveness. Accordingly, In order to analyze the factors affecting the location of smart water and wastewater facilities, this research has been done from the perspective of their establishment requirements. After reviewing the available documentation, Interviewing, Thematic analysis, Focus group formation and Thematic network design, in the second step, to check the validity of the themes, questionnaire design, Sample size and Normality test, KMO coefficient, Bartlett's Spear test, Factor Analysis and goodness-of-fit tests were used to identify the factors affecting the location of smart facilities and finally, Factor loading were used to rank the measurable variables.The results show that the latent variable of smart water management mystem deployment prerequisites is more effective than the latent variable of deployment goals of the mentioned system. option "Have a proper implementation strategy" of the components required to deploy the smart water system has the most impact and "Smart distribution network management" of the deployment goals variables have the most impact on the implementation of smart facilities in the water and wastewater industry.
